LRP at Grafs

[Howa 9700]

Does this mean the drought is officially over? If you count BR and magnum, they had 4 different LRP options. All you want. CCi 200 @$95.99 per K.



As to powders, about 95% of what they had were from the Hodgdon umbrella. Almost all the Accurate powders. The rest mostly VV.

Still had BE-86 and Power Pistol.

The drought might be over but the huge price hike isn’t.

Did they have Federal 210M?

Not at those prices it's not.

I guess it depends on whether you define a drought as no availability or as no affordable availability.

I’m glad to see the shelves stocked again. I’ll take pricey but available over cheap but unavailable any day.

Store looks stocked up .
We do know the store gets what they want first.
We do know the store ships nothing
We do know store inventory has nothing to do with the Warehouse.

Nice to see some Large Rifle primers on a shelf - somewhere! A more encouraging note, I grabbed a brick of Fiocchi small rifle primers (1500) for $71.29 this afternoon. All their small primers were on sale for 20% off at Bi-Mart, a local discount chain in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Looks like the drought may be ending for small primers, at least.

I don’t have stores near me that have primers so it’s good to see something on a shelf somewhere.
We all have to decide our own pain points, but I think it’s better to have the option to buy, than not.

Things are looking up for sure but I still have more on my shelf than in your picture. Purchased at Clinton era prices too. It's sure gonna hurt me in the wallet when I do finally have to buy some sgain. Back then I used two bonuses to fund the purchases and I thought long and hard before I pulled the trigger but today I am overjoyed I had the foresight to do it.

Did they have Federal 210M?

Don't think so. They did have Rem 9 1/2M (magnum). On a whim, I just looked at options from Midway. They have Rem 9 1/2 regular for $87.99 per brick, or 5 brick cases. And

And again, powder options remain very limited. At least for shotguns and rifles.

I asked about Alliant and they have no inside information. Still unsure if Alliant is in a limbo pause or have gone belly up. Apparently nobody that buys powder from Graf's retail store likes BE-86, or else they were sitting on a mountain of the stuff when Alliant hit the pause button.

IMO, when people quit hording because they are afraid of their government, afraid of not being able to get (at any price) reloading supplies, ammo, firearms, etc. Then the supplies will start stacking up on dealers shelves and the prices will go down. Supply and demand works every time.

Graf's is out in the middle of almost nowhere.

A gun shop out in the boonies had primers last fall for $79 per 1K. I stopped by there this past weekend and they’re up to $95 per 1K…

They’re out there but the prices aren’t coming down.

Yeah, but those primers were made to go inert after a few years, at least that was what I was told endlessly while slinging them from behind the counter. All kidding aside, I'm sure many will get and remember the reference.

Not at Grafs, but I did find some on a local shelf lately, so there should be some in the pipeline....somewhere. I also live 30 miles from FC, so that may have something to do with it?

It never will be. We've shown collectively that we are both stupid and gullible...and desperate.

https://recobstargetshop.com/product/wmsrl-41-para-rifle-primers-nato-spec/ Not large rifle, but here's a little ray of sunshine. Lowest price I've seen on a 41 type since before 2020. Their LR that are available are in the "normal" $9 range. Shotgun primers recently followed the trend of durable availability, followed by price reduction to pre- 2020ish level.

When the price drops and on sale prices for LRP and LPP end up costing in the $65 range again we will oficially be over this mess. Until it starts again!!

My LGS keeps the stock of primers on the shelves at a minimum, while having more "in the back". Talking to the store manager, it's not to keep prices high or for folks to think there is still a huge shortage, but to keep hoarders from buying them all. Prices have dropped there about $10 a thousand since the peak of the price hike to about $90.
