I was seriously tempted but you’re only going to get those prices on GB. And I’m not risking fines or jail to ship hazmat without the training/special accounts etc.I might need to liquidate 10k primers if people are buying at those prices....

Sure is.I hear ya. Just seems insane people will spend that much.
Though it’s worth mentioning that Shooters Outpost has the 12k count crates of Fiocchi small rifle primers for $299.
Could technically use those for small pistol loads....
I had to make a run up to Pioneer Sportsmen in Dunbarton last night to drop off a load of targets they are borrowing. I stopped at SO on the way. They had plenty of CCI 500 SP primers but they limited you to 1k. I ended up getting them and 1k of CCI 41.
No H335 Powder, no Red Dot powder. No 223/5.56 bullets, no 38spl bullets.
Ammo was picked clean. They were also limiting the amount of 9mm you could buy. They had bulk Lake City 5.56, 1800 count but it was well over $1000.
Looks like he was pricing them based on gun broker auctions...This shortage has happened before and the primer shortage is connected to Ammo sales. Manufacturers are sending all their primers to ammunition manufacturers (in many cases themselves). I stopped at one of my favorite South Coast stores last week to pick up some bullet heads and after I got the bullet heads and powder I had the following conversation with the owner :
O - anything else you need?
me - I don't suppose you have primers?
O - I got them but you don't want them unless you NEED them. (then shows me a box of SPP for $113!!!)
me - Seriously?
O - Yes I only carry them for people who NEED them. My distributor is not even accepting orders for SPP right now and told me he has no estimate of when he will be. These boxes are for people who need them.
FYI - He also had no 9MM target ammo. Only self defense.
Also stopped at Bass Pro because they had CFE223 listed as in stock (which they did not have) and watched a clueless customer asked a desk clerk "Are you serious that you have no 9MM?"
Not sure. I was told by @wegman that they were standard rifle primers but maybe not?Arent those magnums?
If you need powders check out Glenn's Ammo in North Reading. That guy always seems to have hard to get components. I bought a bunch of CFE223, H335, and Sport Pistol from him earlier this year before the SHTF.I had to make a run up to Pioneer Sportsmen in Dunbarton last night to drop off a load of targets they are borrowing.

Correct me if I'm wrong but those crates of 855 were $1050 for 1800 rounds
Thats .58/round
Given the current conditions and avail (ie none avail online) I would say that Jim/SO is MORE than fair with their pricing
He could just as easily chuck that up for sale online and sell it for considerably more PLUS shipping
Not sure. I was told by @wegman that they were standard rifle primers but maybe not?
Is there even such a thing as small rifle magnum primers?? I can't think of a cartridge that would qualify for that.

That might explain why there were so many lol. @wegman did say it was stacked like 6 feet high. If they were standard rifle primers, I'm sure they would have been gone by now?Dunno
All I remember is walking past a stack of crates of primers and seeing "magnum" in the label and moving on.....dont need no stinkin' magnum primers for anything I have
Some 300Blk 220 grn subsonic loads call for SRM primer

Good to know! ThanksFound this in regards to Fiocchi "Magnum" SRPs
View attachment 380043
Fyi, I have seen two different retailers with that same note. I just sent Fiocchi an email asking for clarification as to whether or not they are indeed magnum strength. I'll supply their response when I hear back.Good to know! Thanks
