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

[slap shot]

Shooters in Hooksett has Winchester SPP for $79.99 or 5000 for $374.99

Quite a bit of others in stock, ave price $100 per thousand. i grabbed the SPP and some CCI SRP 400

 

[gerrycaruso]

AR seems to have lots of primers. Just ordered 5000 ea. of large and small rifle. Shipping and hazmat are included.

The comments on the first video are hilarious. The slow motion part of the video explains the primer crisis

I bought 6000 from there the other day

I believe Four Seasons still has Win SPP in stock (I think for $79.95 or thereabouts).

White River Energetics is a primer manufacturer in Arkansas. They make large and small rifle and pistol primers. They say to contact them directly for a bulk order. I don't know what constitutes a bulk order but if a few people got together, it would likely be enough.

I remember during the shortage hearing about this place being set up , or I think this is the place. I know I would definitely go in on a group buy if someone was setting one up ............

 

[gerrycaruso]

I couldn't find a phone number but sent them a message. We'll see what they have to say.

My 5k WSP just showed up today and they came out to $74 per 1k with hazmat and tax so that’s not a bad price but this is till the most I’ve ever paid for primers and I don’t think it will go back to “normal” pricing in the future unfortunately.
Maybe Winchester had a deal for distributors hence my they were about $15-$20 lower than other brands.

 

[meh]

Meh, I'd just pay it without even thinking much about it one way or the other. It sucked so bad in 2020-22 that I apparently got an attitude reset from it.

 

[gerrycaruso]

FedEx man showed up about 10 minutes ago with 10,000 rifle primers from AR. I just looked and they're sold out.

 

[Knob Creek]

I may try some Servicios Aventuras primers at $55 per thousand.

 

[Tallahassee]

Good to go.

I may try some Servicios Aventuras primers at $55 per thousand.

Didn’t @walter62 say he had trouble with those?
I’d pay the extra half cent per primer and go Fiocchi
Edit: Looks like AR is sold out of the Fiocchi’s at the moment. Though I’m sure they’ll have more this week. They seem to restock often

Realistically speaking do you reloaders believe the current higher prices for components will stick for the foreseeable future?

Powder has gone even higher than the pandemic days.

Primers have come down in price from the tripling during the pandemic but we’re still seeing 7-8 cent primers from the main US producers with some sales.

Time will tell but you can find 5-6 cent SRP and SPP opportunistically at the moment. LPP and LRP are still high at 8-11 cents.

Fiocchi should open their primer plant in 2025 and that may help things, but who knows. White River has now begun operations and is pushing out SPP at 5-6 cents.

I think 5-6 cents where they will settle, which is 40-60% higher than pre pandemic.

@38ExtraSpecial tells me to worry more about casting bullets because the projectile is the most expensive part.

Thanks for the cogent answer

Yeah, this isn’t the General or Off-Topic realm. We’re like the chess club of NES in this forum, whereas the others are Gen Pop.

That’s a shout out to all the helpful people in this specific forum, bullet casting and some of the others here in Hardware.

 

[DJBrad]

How’s the RUAG #4033?

On the Valley for $185.


Also someone please PM me what AR is.

This.
If you’re not casting you should be. Even if it’s only for a few cartridges it can pay for itself in no time.
If I only cast for 45-70 it would have paid itself off in a year with the way I shoot it. Under 25 cents a round even at today’s insanely inflated prices of $45 a pound for unique and $125 for LRP.

I shoot a lot of 45-70. Compared to what? $2 a pop from online sources.

large rifle, small rifle and large pistol back in stock at AR. Just got an email. price includes shipping and hazmat.

 

[gerrycaruso]

I don't use them but AR has small pistol primers for just under 7 cents apiece including shipping and hazmat.

 

[gerrycaruso]

Just in case my last post was a bit ambiguous. I use AR. I don't use small pistol primers

 

[steven grammont]

I don't use them but AR has small pistol primers for just under 7 cents apiece including shipping and hazmat.

I ordered some on the 15th of March , on the 20th I sent them an email stating that I hadn't receives a tracking # , at that point thhey created a label and emailed me a tracking # , as of right now nothing has been sent yet.

 

[Mike 53]

Gerry I must be out of the loop, can you PM me as to what is AR?
Thanks,
Mike

Just saw small pistol primers for $45.00/K. It's the first listing on Ammo Seek. I've never heard of the brand and have no idea if the company ships to Ma.

As much as I hope this is real , I'm guessing it's a scam.
