Stocked up

I got tired of waiting and not the bullet and bought some primers at market rate. I got gouged a bit but I think I am good now for a year or two.
Of course immediately after placing the order I start getting notices about other shops with primers in stock.

 

WOW! That looks nice.

 

You're almost out - time to buy more!

 

At this day and age you got to do what you got to do

 

I found some CCI SPP at a local shop last week; $100/1000. Was getting low so I bought a brick. Don't think I could do much better online, especially with shipping and hazmat.

 

Yeah, I bought primers this month. They are the first I've bought since 2019. I like to keep a couple years worth on hand at all times and was starting to get concerned. Finally caved when I found some in stock.

I am not there yet, but if I get there I look at it this way: I have everything else. If the marginal cost of loading is ten cents a shell because that is what the primer I don't have costs me, so be it.

 

I'm ok for a little while yet but I'd grab more if the price was right.

 

Yeah, I waited until someplace had both large and small. Leverage that hazmat.

 

Hey pickup a 1k here and there when you can. That's what I've been doing. None of knows when this is gonna better or turn into a complete **** show.

 

You found LR, those have been MIA in my area for 2+ yrs now. I'm in good shape but my neighbor has been looking for them.

 

Unfortunately I need some LRM, I haven’t found those lately

 

I quit using small pistol magnum primers. I have about 8-900 left over and can’t give them away in west Texas. Good thing I’m an engineer and not a salesman.

 

Hang onto those if you shoot one of the WCF cartridges or if you decide to make low-pressure, lead "gallery" loads in a rifle cartridge that uses a small primer. Personally, I use my SPM primers in small pistol loads with ball type powders where more "heat" is called for but, yeah, it's really just a precaution since we don't get all that cold down here.
