They're moving straight from cutting shifts to afford ammo....to cutting shifts to afford gas.I need to check in with my Deputy buddy and find out if they are getting resupply on ammo. As of a couple months ago they were cutting shifts to afford ammo and other short items. If the ammo makers are still way behind on pre-plandemic orders then we can expect the punishment to continue until morale improves.
<nodding> "O" years (2013? '14?) I paid my highest, ~$45? at Clark Bros. in Opel, VA (prices were always a bit high there anyway) for a box of CCI LPP. OUCH!... So far the most I have paid for 1K of primers was $40. That was at a LGS in the "O" years. ...
with the price of fuel and time, just buy it. Small quantities, enough to last a month or so.$109.00 for a box of primers. But I just did. Walked into a store that had mag small pistol primers. So a box of primers and a bottle of HP 38 and I am good for a while.
Do tell.....The best price I've seen lately (LPP) has been $84.95 shipped, including hazmat. No limit.
hummm… Seattle?Not our county but the BIG land grant counties east of us are. Sadly, those are also places where the aging hippies spit on cops while demanding protection from the criminals they demand not be arrested. Some folks are just nukinfuts.

If you ever feel disheartened about current component prices go around the shelf and check out the prices on factory ammo. Talk about sticker shock. Suddenly a 10 cent primer isn't so bad.$109.00 for a box of primers. But I just did. Walked into a store that had mag small pistol primers. So a box of primers and a bottle of HP 38 and I am good for a while.
LOL!! Yup. It’s human nature. I personally know at least a half dozen fellas who can say in all honesty they were given a brick of primers by a complete stranger just because they needed them. Can’t beat that deal with a stick.No matter what price you paid somebody will boast of a better deal. You can bank on it.
Or, as many do, just that first part, as a friendly nudge to those who may not realize that these things are cyclical and, if possible, they should consider keeping that in-mind as they assess their supplies during the next Good Times Phase.... And they will tell you how well prepared they were that they haven't had to buy primers in several years and how short sighted and ill prepared you were.
Scheels has been my goto for quite a while. I paid $89 3 weeks ago. They had small and large rifle and a nice assortment of powders too.
