60 bucks a 1000 for federal srps and spps and 70 bucks a thousand for CCI's at Academy. They don't always have them but I stop by there atleast twice a week.

Our local Academy told us a few months ago that they were never going to stock reloading supplies again. I'll have to go in and check that out.

This may ruffle some feathers, but if I was running Midway, I'd be doing the same thing. As I see it, better to put 1 brick of primers in 1,000 hands vs. 1000 bricks in 1 hand.......and then have them show up on gonebroker for double what they sold them for. The fastest way back to normal is to satisfy as many buyers as possible, as quickly as possible. My guess is the user pyramid has a pretty wide base.....and a single brick is going to ease the edge for a lot of folks looking for primers. Once those buyers have dropped out and product starts accumulating on the shelves, limits should come off.

BTW, I note some large retailers are doing the same thing with high demand items like toilet paper. Sam's Club has a limit of 1 per visit. If not for that, some buyers would probably take the entire lot and fill their pole barn up.....just because. In times of shortages, better to have each customer get one than one customer get them all.

Beyond that, as someone who has just started pulling together a reloading stash, seems like we have seen more primers show up in past 2 weeks than previous 8 months combined. A sign we may be over the hump.

What amazes me is how much people are actually PAYING for eggs. $4/dozen? Seriously? Do they know where those come from? :eek:

Won't' even mention beef - glad I have a full freezer! And glad to live in farming community! I won't have to buy meat of any kind for a year or more. Eggs I have to call down to my neighbor and arrange to get up early enough to go down the road and gather them from the coop before I have to leave for work. We get up around 4 anyway usually.

Gas is up to $3.25 or more a gallon in some places here locally. Diesel is past $3.35. Farm diesel is still lower but not like two years ago. Can't run farm equipment at 2019 prices any more. Get ready to pay more for staples like flour and milk, too. Or, heck, just stop eating. That'll show 'em! ;)
 
$4 eggs? Must be some of those fancy ones. I live in the middle of chicken country. Tyson's HQ is just down the road. We get a dz lg eggs at Wally World for under a buck around here.

Me too. Chicken country, I mean. I know the chickens by name. ;)

Seriously, this is cow, pig, chicken, fruits and vegetables country. The county I live is all farming and horse breeding. Two counties over people are paying $4/doz for eggs - not cage free, organic, non-GMO, all natural, the chicken got a massage after she laid them eggs - just eggs. Two years ago the same eggs were 99¢/dozen.

Nearest Academy Sports is in Daytona Beach - other side of the state and considerably south. About a 6 hour round trip. Not worth it.

This^^^^^^^

By the time I pay gas to go to an Academy, assuming they had primers, I would be paying 200 a brick. It's great for anyone close by though!. The closest Bass Pro has shown primers in stock locally, and when I was passing by a couple of weeks ago, they did not have any. Still, it's a 3 hour round trip and over half a tank of gas to go check, so buying online and paying the hazmat is my best bet. I still have a stash of SPP, thankfully.

Man am I happy I don't need to buy primers, it would make me sick to pay those prices. The SPP are my largest numbers but the stock I have won't last forever. I hope things settle down by then.

IIRC $27/k was the most I paid and I have no delusions that price will ever come back. Does anyone think we will ever see $40/brick? I hope so because more than that is sickening. (not that $40 is great)

Paid $41 for a brick of CCI large rifle primers at Sportsman warehouse this morning. Sounds like a lot of price gouging going on at other places.
 
Academy in Madison Ms had some SRP for $5.99 a sleeve. Limit 4. They said they had SPP last week. They said that’s the first primers they’ve seen in ages.
That’s as cheap as I’ve seen primers in a long time.

Yes and no. The MSRP's have gone up quite a bit in the last few months. I'd bet $41 for that brick is well under MSRP right now. Not sure exactly which primers you bought, but the BR2 is listed on CCI's website at $91 per K, for example. So I'm sure the stores are paying more for the product too.
 
I managed to snag a case of CCI No. 41 small rifle primers (5 bricks) for $328.99 + hazmat + shipping + wa state sales tax. Most I have paid for primers at $65.50 per brick, but they were the recommended primers for AR’s and how often do to see an opportunity to order 5,000 at a time for one hazmat and $9.99 flat rate shipping?
