Supply and demand will reach an equilibrium. It'll be more than you want to pay and less then the seller wants to charge you. But, you'll be glad to have the primers and they'll be glad to have the money. Gotta love capitalism.
I just wanted some shinny new primers for .45 acp, and 44 mag and such, was happy to get some after a long day
Cattleman 2, or the Teddy Roseville 7”, or a 1875 Scholfeild looked cool too. Love the Snake on the “Man with no Name”Nice on the primers but now let’s move on to the 1873….which one are you looking at?
. I like reloading and casting so keeping them in big bore ammo is just another bonus.
I’m positive if a business consistently loses money on a product, they will stop carrying it.lol, you simply refuse to be positive about this.
that’s pretty!I have been reloading for a couple of friends the last few years. One of them helped move a safe and he was given 5,000 Winchester large pistol primers in return, he in turn gave them to me to contribute to my reloading endeavors
Check back on my previous posts. I'm not complaining about prices. Never did. The price reflects the market. My bugaboo is availability. Zero 1K/bricks of product at 1¢ per 1K/brick is no bargain - and no market. I don't get the option to buy when nothing is for sale. One 1K/brick at $100 per brick is no bargain, either - but it is available and now I have a choice to buy or pass. My point is, if we, as a consumer group, only buy when the retailer, distributor and manufacturer lose money, the supply chain comes to a screeching halt. They WILL stop selling at a loss. What about that is so hard to understand? What do people think? That these businesses are charities?
It's good to have friends!I have been reloading for a couple of friends the last few years. One of them helped move a safe and he was given 5,000 Winchester large pistol primers in return, he in turn gave them to me to contribute to my reloading endeavors
Momma didn't raise no fools.
It's also over $100...

Who are you friends with at Midway?
My total would be $102.18 if I only bought primers. Did you also buy powder and you're divvying up the HazMat to get closer to $80 for the primers?
What I figured.
I get your point, but my point is the doom and gloom that you describe ain't gonna happen. Folks can scream "Don't buy, don't buy!" until they're blue in the face, but people are still going to buy. Supply and demand will find a balance and capitalism will prevail. I personally am not going to spend 10 cents apiece for primers until I need primers that cost 10 cents apiece. But that's not because I'm boycotting to drive the price down, it's because I don't need primers right now. When I do, I will do my part to keep primer sellers in business.
I have a few bricks of primers to last a bit, But the enjoyment of buying something that we have been fighting about for a solid year now, Buying into a Nola Pirate primers, roumors of 3 new factories, $350 bricks, home made primers…. is Priceless! Buy a brick at what every your comfortable with, wipe down the box shinny, post to all your buddies! then get over it, until the next PANIC!I get your point, but my point is the doom and gloom that you describe ain't gonna happen.

I don't need anything either. Haven't from the get-go. Good thing, too. The nearest retailer selling primers to me is Bass Pro 35 +/- miles away. They got lots of nuthin'. Haven't had much of anything the whole time. But what I need isn't the point. The point is how we act as a community. If we, as a community, only buy when the sellers lose, sellers will stop selling. No profit = no market. Happens all the time. Never underestimate the power of peer pressure, either. When someone as well respected as Walkalong or some of these other moderators and the mass-production reloaders say don't buy until the retailers cry uncle - force them to sell at a loss - people listen. Maybe they don't know that's the message they're sending but, it is. And, to be 100% honest, to say I don't need "anything" isn't entirely true. I actually could use some Federal standard SRP but, it's not critical. I've got CCI SPM's but their cups are stiffer than the standard Federal. They just don't work as nice in heavy .357 loads. Will I buy at $60/K? Probably, eventually. I bought some large pistol primers from Beckwith (GS & indoor range 45 or so miles away) for $120 when they got some in - before they hit the shelf - because I asked them to try and find supplies. They did - so I bought. Now they can't get any primers but, when they do, I'll hear about it before they hit the shelf. And they always take a little off my powders when I buy.I get your point, but my point is the doom and gloom that you describe ain't gonna happen. Folks can scream "Don't buy, don't buy!" until they're blue in the face, but people are still going to buy. Supply and demand will find a balance and capitalism will prevail.

By my reading, he still didn't admit to being wrong about the primer factory rumors. Print factory, yes, primer factory, no.
It was funny! PRIMER FACTORIES X3 by The end Of 2021…. you know there is still 2 months left! lol
