Primer Cost

[gab909]

Would you be willing, or are you willing to pay 4 cents a primer. SP and SR, well LR also, but I really don't need many of them. Winchester, CCI, and Remington just to clarify. That makes a little difference, because I would definitely not be interested in Wolf or Tula at those prices. Just me, your mileage may vary. I guess I should have just tried this in a poll.

I gave $44 for a thousand Winchester SPP a month ago.
Didn't like it. Wouldn't pay more than that.

 

[ssmith1187]

Less than a month ago I was paying $28.09 per 1K for Winchester SPP. This past weekend I paid $31.59 per 1K for Winchester SPP. An increase of $3.50 or roughly 12.5%

I'm certainly not complaining as I know other folks are paying much more than that. My price point is probably in the $35.00 per 1K range.

All the best,
Steve

The big name primers were commonly $28-35/1000 before the s storm. Tulammo were $18.
So $40/1000 would probably not be a big deal.

Before tha panic I was just buying primers locally for $42/k after taxes. During the panic I picked up Tula primers for 27.50/k after shipping/tax/hazmat from Powder Valley. $30/k for Russian and $45/k for US is about all I'm willing to pay at this point. It seems high to the people that paid $15-20 5-10 years ago, but they must forget about about inflation and supply/demand. But there's still a point when high prices are simply gouging.

Normal price out here is $34 per k. I've paid $40 per k a few weeks ago. Primers at gun shows were anywhere from $60 to $85 per k. I was horrified at the prices they were charging at the gun show!

My primer honey hole has started getting them back in stock.

$40 after taxes is standard out here in AZ. (or has been for the last 3 months)

I paid $59.99 recently.. but had ta have em... still cheaper to load my ammo than Buy it... so worked ok for now

That was for .357 and 9mm..... Got the powder at a good price so all works out in the end

.06 ea is better than NONE at all

 

[rsrocket1]

Still way cheaper than buying factory loaded ammo!

 

[BBQJOE]

None of us who have paid .01-.02 cents a primer are happy with a lot of the prices today.
But as said, it's still a heck of a lot cheaper than buying loaded ammo.
I doubt we'll ever see 2 cent primers again, and I don't mind paying 6 or 7 cents when they could easily hit .20 or more in just a heartbeat, or the swash of someone's pen.
I'm happy to have them at any price while they can still be had.
I had many before the panic, and still buy more when I find them.
Call me stupid, and adding to the problem, but hey, I'm happy about it, and it's my money.

I buy CCIs or Winchesters locally for $38/1,000. There's another store that has LR and LP for $32/1,000 but I use mostly SR and SP.

 

[StretchNM]

I was in my local gun shop this afternoon. Wolf primers were selling for $39

 

[bengalfever]

Cost was $49.99 at my lgs today. I passed.

Just bought 3k WSPs @ $45/k

I didn't buy enough last August when I made my annual purchase.

 

[45lcshooter]

CCI's 30/1k. Rem 9 1/2 are 32/k. Per, during, and post panic. Haven't changed here.

Yes reloads are far cheaper than factory ammo, still.

 

[Fire_Moose]

Just picked up 500 WLR from a local Guy. Paid $25 fir them. That's about the most I'd pay, and was happy to because he had to pull them from his stash.

I tried a brick of wolf LR primers last year and they were as good as any other primers Ive used and Id surely buy them again.

 

[Certaindeaf]

It seems a lot of benchrest shooters prefer the Russian primers. that's what I heard anyways

Well here in my part of the Lone Star State, powder is beginning to show up sporadically. Primers are scarce as hen's teeth. I did have a friend last week ask me if I wanted to buy his primers, he hasn't reloaded in a couple of years and had about 8000 mixed SR, SP, LR, LP and Shotgun. Bought the whole lot for $200.00. But since they are non-existant here, what else could I do but help a friend out.

Here in north Missouri I paid $33 to $35 per 1000 six months ago but recently noticed that they went up to $38 to $40 per 1000 when available. I bought 3000 at $38 just to stock up a little.

Prices are regional. So are taxes. Here, $35-40/1k out the door at the LGS is typical. And even if I could find primers cheaper elsewhere, shipping and hazmat would offset any savings.

 

[Magnum Shooter]

I picked up 4000 CCI SP and 2000 CCI LP for 30.58/k including shipping and Haz-mat just last January. I haven’t loaded them yet as I’m rotating my stock, but they should keep me going for 6 months from the time I get to them.

 

[jlucke69]

Pre-2013, local prices were $43/K out the door. Now the are right at $50/K out the door. I still do my best to buy on line.

 

[frankenstein406]

Paid $40 1k of spp but I just started and only in place in stock. Found some spmp used for $20 1k but only had one
