1972, that looks expensive if you factor in inflationAnd guys were probably complaining that was to much.
Looks right... $53/K for primers.Came across this today. Winchester price sheet from 1972. Primers less than a penny a piece!View attachment 997389

My first car was a '72 Chevelle coupe with the racing cam 5 liter (307 CID). I paid $400 for it, used, in 1977. $400 for a 5 year old car with fewer than 20K miles on it.These are MSRP from Winchester. Retail was probably less. I remember paying 95 cents for 50 rnd boxes of .22 about 1972
Correction: look at the OP ad. It’s $8.25 per / 1,000 not 5,000Looks right... $53/5K for primers.

We won't see those prices ever again, though. Probably also won't see $6000 two bedroom, bath-and-a-half homes on 1/8th acre, either. Times change.
Their 3 new primer factories coming online this summer. So I can see Primers cheaper than ever ... SOON!Looks right... $53/5K for primers.
