What is your current cost and availability of pistol primers locally?
They have been back on the shelves in local gunshops lately in St. Clair County, Illinois - just across the Mississippi from St. Louis, MO. For about the last year, 1,000 Small Pistol and/or Large Pistol Primers have cost me $39.99 + sales tax at the LGS. That makes them $43.23 (4.3 cents each) out the door.
Are they currently available where you live? What is the price? Is there a limit on the number you may purchase at one time?
I only load handgun cartridges, but would also be interested in the cost and availability of Rifle Primers.
Of course the serious lack of smokeless powder availability makes these primer questions moot, but I was just curious.
