Don't know how you guys are set, but I just bought some Fiocchi small rifle primers and even some small pistol primers from MidwayUSA.  Never tried this brand before but I have shot their ammo before and that was fine.  They also come in sleves of 1500 not 1000, did the math and it still works out to a decent price $32/1000.  Good luck

They showed two types, standard and enviro-friendly (lead free) primers as available, but it would only let me add the lead-free to my cart, so I ordered a box to try.

Thanks for the lead!

Use those up fairly quickly, the lead-free ones will become unreliable after a few years


Your gonna pay a hazmat fee for one box of primers?

Yeah, I don't make 6 figures like a ton of people on the internet.    Besides, hadn't seen any reviews on them and if they aren't worth a damn, I didn't want to be left with 4500 of them.

Be interesting to see as PMC is stating their lead free primers have a 25 yr life , I figure I'll be taking a dirt nap before then

Tree huger primers are good for 15 years according to Fiocchi.  Their ammo shoots great, don't know why the primes wouldn't.

It's been around, something about the different mixing compound will break down, I've heard in as little as 5 years to around 15. If the price is good I'd still buy some. Just make sure to date the box and use them up in a reasonable amount of time.

It is interesting, that a few years ago we were hearing conversations about limited shelf life on primers, FROM THE TREE HUGGER COMMUNITY!!!!––-WELL GUESS WHAT'S COMING!!!!
