Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your "will buy" price on primers?

For as much as I load I have enough for quite a while. I mostly load small rifle. But $50, I'm buying no matter what I need.

I'll buy more at $30/thou or under.

Large rifle primers for sale here in the classifieds.

Black Sheep in CDA had a pretty good selection, all at $79/brick.

So, you’re on your third box of Corr-lokts now?

I'm tempted to go buy more today. If the price is ok I think primers are better than money in the bank. The only thing I don't like about Federal is they come in larger boxes and take up more room in storage. I have a decent supply because I don't shoot as much as I used to but they are a hard asset that can be traded in tough times.

I still have some 1000 count boxes that I paid $3.99 for about 20 years ago when sportsmans clearanced all cci's in aps straps. My favorite hand primer uses aps straps so that works well for me. Just used a few strips of cci 400s today loading some 6 arc with 108 eldms for the ar. I finally found a 1/2 moa load for my aero 6 arc so I'll be burning more primers through it.

I think I have enough to take me out

Well, my "will buy" price has went up the last few years. The most I think I've gave for any is $12.00 a hundred. Yeah, I know.......... But, I saw some for $19,99 a hundred once.

Yep. I found another 7000 small and large pistol primers (standard and magnums) in a bin under a bed up here. I haven't handloader here for a number of years.

I stocked up after the first time.
I won't live long enough to use them up. There will plenty left for my son.

Listen guys, we're all still friends. Just be happy they let us have BB guns.

PS-Fishing is fun.

Using my current inventory

Paid $165/case of 5K shipped in the good ole days 8-9 yrs ago

Prob the same time I bought Trailboss powder

I’m in the same boat! I stocked up many years ago. I’m still shooting Winchester primers in all sizes in white boxes!!

Haven't bought primers in a store in 30 years. Used to wait for gun shows but they are no better now so it's mail order.
Really don't need any for a while.

Topic is primers and the resident morons are talking about bullets and BB guns !

Burleyboy: I have a "lifetime supply" of all the types of primers I use!
BUT.... I would drive down to Idaho to buy Federal Small Rifle "Match" primers if they have them at $59.00 per 1,000!
Let me know.

The match primers and some of the other brands were more money. I didn't look close enough at what they were but the others ranged from $7.99 to maybe 11.99. I'm guessing the match if they had them were the more money ones. If you guys have Cal Ranch stores up there that's were I got them. There were at least 6 different Federal and cci at $5.99/100 because I bought 1000 of each that were that price.

I believe I have a new brick if Federal gold metal match small rifle in the basement but I wouldn't sell them much under current replacement cost anymore. I sold a lot to friends the last few years at $40/1000 and regret it now. It's a newer brick bought in about 2019 from sportsmans.

If you need them bad I'll work something reasonable out for you but it would be more than $59. We were just I'm montana at Fairmont for 3 days but might go back up in a month. Most of my loads use cci41s or cci 400s. The only Federal I normally run is the 215 match in my 28 nosler.

SW had CCI 400's for $5.49/100. Bought a brick. Another Local shop had CCI 200's $9.99/100 Bought a brick of those also. Somewhere between those 2 I suppose is what I'll pay.

$45/1k
