I'd been picking up SPP primers for several months now, mostly from my local Bass Pro store. When they first started to show up late winter this year, they about $40 per K for CCI No.500's. They've been steadily climbing but seemed to be plateaued at $65 per K, which is what I bought some a few days ago for. Today the price has jumped to $79.99. $15 in just a few days. They had about 40 bricks of SPP on the shelf, which is the most I'd seen for a while. I'd guess the new price had something to do with how much they had sitting there.
If I were desperate, I'd probably keep buying. But I have enough to last me at least 4 years at my current once or twice a week range visits, so I'm going to sit on the sidelines and hope to see the market come down. $80 a box is even higher than CCI lists as MSRP, so it looks like Bass Pro is joining the price gouging party now too.
