Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Do you think primer prices are ever going down?

There are a lot of things we can do. We can shoot smaller calibers. A long time ago I shot .270 Win.. , then went to a .243 Win. for deer . A few years after that , I bought a .223 Rem. so I went from 54 gr. of powder and 130 gr. of lead to 27 gr. of powder and 55 gr. of lead. However, the last 5 yrs. I have hardly shot my guns. I can walk outside and be shooting my bow in 2 minutes. No primers or powder. I imagine I saved thousands of rounds of ammo. There is also and AWFUL lot of .22LR out there,, and I dont think they are selling very fast. So, just go get some 22 LR and have fun.. A 36 gr. of lead and about 2 gr. of powder is all a 22 is and a round is the same price as a primer. I have not bought any reloading supplies in 4 yrs. This year I came across Speer 308 150gr. some .270 150 gr. round nose bullets for 10 cents each . The store clerk told me a customer died.. I also bought 1,000 Speer 22 cal. 55 gr. bullets from Graf's for $146 with tax and all. Just shoot less. The price will go down.
