Just curious how many people have paid more than $35.00 per 1000 for small/large pistol/rifle primers. I have been lucky enough to find primers for cheap, but I think my luck is starting to run out.
Even though the available primers are high, reloading is still cheaper. However, I have a problem supporting greed. Right now I'm waiting for primers to become available and buying loaded ammunition. ETA: $35.00 before taxes, shipping, and haz. $35.00 was base on what I paid before prices went crazy and current prices through major distributors. I did not consider match, bench rest, etc. for the poll. Only standard and magnum. |
$32 is average price for either SR or LR primers and powder is $25 per pound on average here in missouri,all i need is 200 LR ,2000 SR ,2 pounds Varget and 2 pounds RE15 and i am good for a year,But need to get about 500 pieces of brass ofr .223,.308 as well as about 1k of fmj bullets for both,Wow still got about $250 worth of crap to get plus another scope and stock and maybe a trigger for another stick i picked up today

I am lucky enough to have a decent supply of primers and haven't had to purchase any at ridiculous prices. Would I do so, under certain conditions, yes, I would. If I was going to a major match and needed primers, I would.
I hate polls. For example, in this poll, if you'd paid $36 for primers you get lumped in with the guys who paid $150. Federal Match 210M primers cost as much as $35 quite some time ago. You didn't specify whether that includes tax and shipping and hazmat charges, either. Then there's the disparity between a single, simple "yes" answer and the two versions of "no", both of which have qualifiers, neither of which apply to me. I wanted to answer "no" but neither of the options was truthful for me. I hate polls. |
| Yes I paid $75 for 2K CCI #41 primers after tax, and no I only paid $60 for 2K CCI-400 SR primers a couple months ago. I did just pick up 2K LR BR primers for $120 last week for someone on here so he wouldnt miss his match shoots though, but not for me, also got him 5lbs of Varget for $200 but again he offered that price and is not what it cost me. |
