Primer Supply Improving

[IndianCent]

We picked up 400 primers (200 limit per person per day) at Sportsmans Warehouse here in the Boise ID area. The price was $5.03 per hundred (i. e. $50.30/1000). Prices on gunbroker are much worse and all online sellers appear to be out.

I have a Ruger No. 1 in 22 Hornet coming and need everything (brass, primers powder bullets and loading equipment). We did o.k. today, getting primers and dies.

Isn't Sportsman's Warehouse great! My son
got me CCI Large Rifle primers for $3.25 per
100.

Got me a one pound bottle of Alliant
Reloader 22 also, $35.

I'd say supply and prices are getting better.

Excellent news. Now we just need to wait for all the scalpers to realize it's now or never to dump their stock...

I got an email ad for a brand of primer I'd never seen before at somewhat less than outrageous prices. Now I can't find the ad nor remember the brand it was selling.

I was at Cabela's today. They had a somewhat nice powder supply, and told me until yesterday, they had primers in stock. They get more and more each shipment.

But I bought a pound of H110 powder for $39. I felt that was a fair price these days.

 

[IndianCent]

$39 for H110 is a good price. Hogden is selling direct now, the price with shipping and Hazmat came out to $41.50 a pound.

Those are some really great prices on the primers. Congrats.

That's the kind of pricing on primers I've been hoping for.

That's decent pricing , probably about the eventual New Normal we re heading for
BUT that's in conjunction with Rationing , not yet time for total rejoicing .

While primers are gradually trickling back , they are still mostly being used in OEM ammo production instead of as components . Wholesale prices for LGS are still high when they can get them . $90- ish / K is just normal dealer margins , not particularly gauging .

Supply is looking up here, too. While searching for that misplaced supply of 7mm08 ammo, I found 1000 small rifle, 2K large pistol, and 2# of H380. Still looking for the ammo-darn it.
