$250/1000 large rifle primers, paid

There is a guy I know that just paid $250 for 1000 primers on auction arms.

There must be a shortage

https://ammoseek.com/reloading/primers?ikw=large%20rifle

Tell him he got ripped off!

I would've sold him some for $220/shipped.

I've got a sealed case of Fed 210's like to trade for SP.....or LP

Ask him what f he wants any more.

Scalpers in the Indy area are asking $150/K for small pistol primers !

got some for $750.00 per 1,000 shipping included to lower 48

Ha, Last month I paid $84.79 for an entire case of CCI-34. LGS had all their reloading supplies on a 50% off sale. Eariler in the year, the sale was only 25% off and I passed on a couple cases of CCI-41. Hindsight!

Oh, and just yesterday, I paid $5.93 each for a few 20 round boxes of 223.

the shortages will end when the boomers finally get to old to shoot guns

Awww...your daddums didn't wuvv you enough??

I could use some rifle magnum primers if anybody has some. 7STW needs trying out.

I'll swap a brick of Federal LR for a 2015 or later Super Duty in good shape.

PM if interested.

If you make it to Spokane I've got some I could spare.

Sweet deal here ^^^^^^

Spokane isn't in my future either, but thank you.

Is there any kind of a run on powder as well?

Yes, but it's not quite as frantic as primers. With no primers what good is powder? Not much locally & most all of the popular types are dwindling at online sources. Even the offbrand Vectan stuff & Shooters World 4350 is going going gone. Alliant must have had a shipment a week or so ago, but it's mostly gone already as well. I cant find enough powder from my growing list at one place to make an order worthwhile with Hazmat & shipping.

Sycamore Jimmy Olsen’d this a couple days ago. No one here knew about any kind of component or ammo shortage before that.

What?? Folks are hoarding yet again? WTH!

You folks are a bit behind.....there’s been a component and loaded ammo shortage for a couple of months now! Perhaps not everywhere, but it’s spreading rapidly! memtb

I didn't check for powder. My post was strictly related to the Sportsmans Warehouse in Tucson, AZ. No primers on the shelf, and very few projectiles, almost no brass.

Flagstaff SW has only 50BMG primers and a few 209 shotshell primers.

Much more projectiles than Tucson, and a little more brass.

Going anywhere near Sacramento or northern California? I have some extra.
