Anyone know where to get Unicorn Droppings (primers) for non ass rape pricing?

[tbk5]

Damn. I wonder how long $90 will remain as the base price. Hopefully they’ll drop when I need to restock in a few years.

Agree! I stocked up when I moved - prices were low and inventories high. Plus - I didn't have to worry about shipping anymore. I am hoping things will begin to normalize after November but it may takes years to right this ship. I only have about a year's supply left.

I think I'll uncork a string of expletives on the next store douche who laughs at me when enquiring about primers. Which particular store was that?

BPS in Foxborough.

Cabelas in Hudson still had powder and primers this morning. Sign says 1 each per day.

They were down to 7 boxes of primers about 30 mins. ago.

 

[gerrycaruso]

Primers have been sitting on the shelf for at least 3 days. A week ago they wouldn't have lasted 3 hours let alone 3 days. They also have powder. It may be only a small improvement but at least things are going in the right direction

Where do they keep the primers? I stopped by a couple weeks ago and there were zero primers.

FYI all - Ram has SRP benchrest in stock, but price is $165 per 1K.

They move them around. Judging by the pic there, they had them in a different spot than they would have been 3 weeks ago.

Wander around the ammo section and the optics counter and you'll eventually find them. Or not, they don't seem to care.

I had never seen them in the middle of the aisle as they are in this picture. In the bottom left you can see the boxes of new 308 Winchester cases that have been sitting there for ages.

they can shove it up their ass for that much.

Sideways…don’t forget sideways..

Unless they are Federal boxes of primers. Those are HUUUGE in any direction.

Larry has Federal SPP for $79, limit 1

Larry - Varget - right now.

Valley had it too again for a brief minute

Varget at valley again now.

And as of 645 it’s gone.

still in stock, and i even bought one more, not sure what for, just out of amusement that it was still in stock.
if i load all 600 of .308 brass i have on the table right now, it will eat probably a half of it.

That’s weird. It was definitely oos. But now it is definitely back in stock.

Kentucky has some SRP LRP (BR-2 $$$) and SPP match

 

[Amputee Marksman]

TSUSA had both Federal and CCI SPP right now. $86 and $85 per 1k with $30 hazmat.

Thanks. Also have CCI 450s, and all primers available in 5K units, $470 shipped so about 9.5 cents per including hazmat. Not terrible as things currently stand.

i really wonder what is the deal with CCI #200 and where did it all go.

I'll pretty much be using Federals next year. Probably will need to get one of those roll away dumpsters for the gigantic empty sleeves and boxes.

 

[ddeck]

i guess at least TSUSA isn’t charging $600 anymore. That’s a small piece of good news.

It’s clear that Small Pistol and Large Rifle are the most in demand. They don’t stick around anywhere.

Large Pistol gets some love but Small Rifle not so much.

Bench rest sits because it is just so expensive.

I think the margins on large rifle ammo is higher at the moment. Better to make completed ammo with those primers than sell just the primer.

All just a guess

 

[Rob Boudrie]

I'll see if I cam put together another order when I run out in a few years

i am down to just 2 boxes of them, the #200s. and do not see them to pop-up nowhere at all, at no price. that sucks.

In my basement

 

[DW357]

I kid, kinda . Those were LRP I got from Larry in late 2020. Birthday pricing so it was like $30 per 1k. But I ended up selling off most of those to fellow NESers. I only got about 5k left which will last me probably until I retire lol.

Now you're just showin' off.

Edit: Faked me out.

I don’t have them anymore. Sold most of them to Queen Bee who has since passed away (RIP) and to another NES member

Been loading a lot of .308 Win over the last year. When it became difficult to find LRPs, I purchased a few small primer cases (SRP Peterson and Palma Lapua) to experiment with. Worked so well with magnum SRPs (cut SDs in half with my loads) that I stocked up on the Peterson brass and use SRPs exclusively now. Saving my stock of LRPs for the inevitable time when SRPs become unobtanium for whatever reason
