I picked up two bricks at Sportsmans on Monday in Morgantown WV. CCI LPP $70 per brick. Limit was one brick per customer but my better half was with me so I was able to get two. First LPP I've seen in quite a while. They only got six bricks in and hadn't even put them out yet.

I wish we could fly with the stuff. I’m going to NV on business for a week and would love to be able to raid their LGS’s. We’re still dry around here. 
I think Florida is becoming a factory ammo only state. So many CWL’s vs hunters and the permit holders are all scared to carry reloads.

Last week, Sportsman's Warehouse in Parker, Colorado had Federal #100 small pistol for $60.
They keep them behind the counter because, "they get jacked".

Did you happen to notice if they had IMR 4064 on the shelf? @Theinkman is still looking. Not TAC, not Varget, not something else; IMR 4064. Maybe if you didn’t notice would be a good excuse to go back. So you can check. It’s for a buddy.

Those are pretty good primers too. I like that they come 150 to a sleeve.

I finally got them to work 100of100! on my vintage .38’s. the solution is to hand seat them, rub the back for flushness.. and BAM! works great
note: they are tighter than CCI’s

Im going to stick with CCI or Winchester. Federal LLP i had some that were to tight. And i hate how they are packaged. I dumped all my Fed LPP into a small tub. I been using them for 7.62x39. And for light loads with my other center fire rifle. There about gone finally. I have case of CCI LLP i bought before things went crazy on deck.

I use the Lee Safety Prime Disc System and the limit per the manufacturer's direction is 100 per fill up...it would be awkward to deal with the remaining 50. However, if the price was reasonable and I needed them I would learn to adapt, improvise and overcome this minor inconvenience.
I looked for primers today at 2 different Farm and Ranch stores with impressive, large scale gun departments. Only saw SRP in stock but didn't ask what brand or cost. Ammo however, was available in abundance. Didn't see primers yesterday evening at the local Sportsmans but...again...ammo everywhere. Shelves are FULL!!!

That's good to see. I was paying $20/k or $30/1.5k for Fiocchi about 2 years before the pandemic.

ask the gun counter for primers! they keep them in the “Special” room.
as for the extra 50… put them in a jar and save for a rainy day

Mark...I corrected my post above. Both stores had a plastic sleeved paper taped to the top of the gun counter. On the paper they printed in large easy to read font different brand and size of primers with a box at the front of the printing. They then mark the box on the plastic paper protector with a grease pencil or white board pen to indicate what's in stock. Prices aren't listed on the paper.....probably because they change too frequently.
The one store that had SRP wasn't as detailed. Their paper just said Small Rifle Primers with the box checked. I didn't ask because I still have a solid stock level of SRP's...I only use them for .327 Fed Mag.

That works out to just over 6 cents per primer, but no doubt a good deal. I was near a SW recently and dragged a bunch of folks in there to help me score that same deal. It was limited to 2 flats per customer at that time though. It was just before they started selling bricks again.

At Sportsman's Warehouse I bought a brick of large rifle primers a couple weeks ago for $59.95, they were Federals. They sold the last brick of large pistol Remington while I was standing there. They didn't have Fiocchi's at the store in my area.
Right now I take what I can get.
My question is how long will it take them to get more in. I'm keeping an eye on them.

they said that about ammo, $250/1,000 fmj 9mm is back again… they were $189 about 4 years agoMust be fake news, if I had a dollar for every thread that said this last panic was different than all of the previous ones and prices were never going down, I’d be able to buy a lot more primers than that…

Remember that there is a war going on, summer is here so there is a lot of recreational shooting, with hunting right around the corner.
We also lost access to the Russian imported primers and ammunition, so that puts a bigger load in the US and European factories.
It is going to be hard to get back to the same prices due to the increased inflation. I would like to see Winchester primers go back to the early 90s prices of $10/k but that isn't going to happen.
Right now the primer factories are still backlogged as there are some primers that are hard to find, such as large rifle. Give it a year and I predict that US made primers will be under $50/k.
