1500 SPP $82.50 ; $0.05 primers are back!!

I finally found a reason to go to Bass Akward Pro’s and checked out the primer situation while I was there: CCI 550’s are $90/k and red box Winchester SRP are $110/k. Those were the only two options and they had very few of either. I’d guesstimate about five bricks of each. Maybe. They have a few Hodgdon’s and Winchester powders: HP38, HS6, three of CFE types (pistol, 223 and something else I didn’t notice too closely). Prices are at the $40/lb ++ range. The Autocomp for $38.95/lb + tax (7%) is a little shocking.
I bought the range bag I been looking at for the KelTek SB2K and Remington 870 PM and beat feet outta there.

You have to haunt BassPro/Cabela's regularly nowadays to find a deal, and have the discipline to avoid those purchases that aren't. Generally I find that I get better deals from Natchez even paying shipping. But, once in a while you find a good buy...

IF I really needed them I’d drive the extra hour to Micanopy and buy them from my friend at Beckwith’s. His prices are on par with BP and I’d pay that price and be grateful to have them but I don’t need SPM or WSRP so I’m good avoiding the hassle.
But yes, you’re absolutely right about both points.

Now ask how many hours he had to work to earn that $6.35 and what else it could’ve bought.
The house I grew up in cost $6000 in 1954 and my dad’s Teague-designed 232 I6 Rambler station wagon was $1650 cash, brand new with the optional roof racks and deluxe mats.
My way of thinking is, why buy new if you have enough supply to meet your demand?

Now you're talking my past. Dad bought a used 1968 AMC Javelin for us kids to drive to school. It had the 232 I6 (all show and no go). After high school he gave it to me. It was my intention to drive it to my 20 year school reunion. Didn't quite make it. Bought a 1980 Mazda RX-7. Did give the Javelin to my cousin thou. She drove it for another 10 years. That car was amazing. Start in 20 below weather.

You should have re-engined it with a big-block Hemi.....

Academy notified me last weekend they had Winchester SPP $7.99/100, I did not believe it and called Monday, they said they did not have them, last Friday I ordered 2 online for store pickup because they kept pestering me by email. picked those 2 up and got the last 6 in the display case with my "mad money", These are the closest to home I have found and $8 seems to be my market value here. My supply comfort level is satisfactory, I just need to go shoot.

Our local BP had a lot of primers when we were in there yesterday. No large rifle, but pretty much everything else, and in multiple brands. But their prices have not budged lower, as you found. And they may never move down. BP has always been high on primer prices, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them resistant to lowering them.

then BP can keep it until the next pandemic! good to know that with their high primer prices, we all have a backup if we are in a primer bind!
