CCI Small Pustol Primers in stock

[Hokie_PhD]

coming home today I stoped in the Roanoke Sportsman Warehouse. I had planned to pick up a few ammo boxes and some powder as I haven't seen any small pistol primersin stock there. (They usually have just about everything else)

Well today they had a brick of the CCI SPPs as well as several loose sleeves. They also had some Remington SPPs.

So I picked up the sleeve and left the loose packages for someone else. Prices seemed to work out the same. While I could have used them all I'm not going to use what I have on hand plus what I bought in the next month so I'd rather someone that might need them have a **** atvthem.

That said, I was very happy to see SPPs in stock. I hope it's a sign supplies are normalizing and we will have time to build up a supply for the next crisis.

I'll still stick with my strategy of buying at least twice what I use. Or put another way basically buying a replacement of what I use plus another.

How is the supply of SPPs in other locations? Here in SW Va we haven't seen them in our Walmart or the Sportsman Warehouse until today. LGS have been hit or miss with high prices if they had some.

I have gotten all the spp primers I have wanted at Cabelas in Bristol also in SW Virginia

There is ample supply of spp at local Academy stores.

Yep, still pricey though.

I fear prices will never come down again.

Cabela's has had a good supplying CCI and Winchester primers of all types since Christmas and some Remington and Federal primers too. (no Fed SPP) Prices are running ~$32/k with Rem running over $34.

I tired of looking for SPP locally and finding small quantities at high prices and having to settle for whatever brand they happen to have. I just order CCI SPP 5,000 at a time from Graf and Sons now. They always have them for 29.99/K or 135.99 for 5,000.

That said, if I hadn't just stocked up I would have tried the S&Bs Cabelas had on sale for 19.99/K recently.

Just got back from the Roanoke Sportsmans Warehouse and a new LGS. Both had a decent selection of primers. So it looks like our area is finally starting to see supplies normalize.

I stocked up the last time Cabela's had them for $21.99/k. I try to have enough so that I don't buy in desperation and pay too much.

That's why dollar cost averaging is a technique that helps level out cost.
Of course buying extra when prices are low always is a better strategy. And buying less when prices are higher is ideal.
For those of us who started shooting about six years ago, it was rough. In my case, I'm glad to see component prices going down. I'm not rushing to buy a lot of anything, but as I shoot, I try and buy 2x what I use.
