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

[steven grammont]

A quick check on Gunbroker shows it going for $60-70 a pound in the auctions.

One would think that after two years of these bullshit prices , people would stop the panic buying.............

i was able to stock it quite well from the valley in last 3 months, but it took some effort. gunbroker - dunno who pays such price and what for, it is insane.

Have you seen inflation rates recently? Might be the new bargain price, not panic one.

That's not the "new" price ..... My nephew bought two thousand primers at a local shop two weeks ago for $150 total. People are getting ass raped , and they're taking it

that is actually a good deal, relatively, not a rape. a cheapest #450 CCI is now $200 shipped, online, if you buy 2 packs. $78 each, $40 shipping.

It was a STEAL , there's a dealer on here selling them in his shop for $125

Exactly , ASS RAPING PRICE and they know it. They know people will pay right now , so they'll keep doing it as long as they can. I've stopped reloading for now , have a bunch of rounds made for the calibers I reload , will just hold on to what I have for primers unless I find some for a reasonable price. I'll basically shoot .22 until this bullshit ends, and have just as much fun.

Like local to MA or NH? Only one retailer has any that I have contacted and they want $129/1k of CCI 500 or Rem SPP.

For some , but others are still buying because they think they'll never see another primer on the shelf.

i`ll raise you. $189 for BR2.
but i also ordered there 2 packs of #450 per $79 a pack, figured it will not decrease in cost anyway.

 

[dp2983]

Called a "local" shop while I was nearby to them while off-site for work. $125 for CCI 500. $129 at a shop 2+ hours from me. What the heck is going on?

People are willing to pay the price , so they're not going to drop their rape prices until they aren't selling anymore.

That looks unsafe. And probably contrary to Massachusetts storage laws.
My agent will be by Monday morning to help you rectify the situation.

Stopped in at Cabela's flagship store in Sidney, Nebraska. Not a single primer or pound of powder to be had. Lots of loaded ammo though.

The last time I bought primers, they were $35 a brick of 1000.
Target Sports has CCI for the 'bargain' price of $600 a case of 5000.
If my math is correct, that's 8.3 cents a piece!
I remember loading my own 9mm (125 gr LRN) for a total cost of 6 cents each!

That’s $0.12 per primer, 8.3 primers per dollar. Worse than you thought. Though when your primers were $0.035 each, factory target 9mm was probably $0.18 per round, give or take. Now it’s 2x that.

Plus shipping and hazmat.

Free shipping and no hazmat. Zappa is in NH so no sales tax. As meh said, 12 cents per primer shipped.

Sportsman Fulfillment had some CCI 450 mag primers 80 bucks a thousand plus shipping with a 2000 limit makes it 10 cents a primer so I have 2 boxes on the way. I keep seeing Varget Pixie dust selling on different sites although it is gone in 5 minutes so maybe it is becoming more available as well, time will tell.

valley had is 2 days in a row this week, with drops to be there around 9am-9:30am EST. yesterday they had shooters world powders for most of the afternoon.

one that still is missing consistently everywhere is a reloder16. even h4350 did pop up, but not r16.

The valley has federal SPP but you have to play the refresh game.

@meh the valley also has 8 pound jugs of N110...

All gone. I didn’t make the cut and don’t need them anyway…was going to buy them to trade up for BR2’s locally and give me the excuse to order some IMR4064.

Thanks for the thought though!

How was Ireland? Are you still drunk?

I saw that but with a limit of 1k primers it wasn't worth it to me, even adding in a pound or 2 of powder. Actually had them in my cart and had to check out in like 45 seconds and it was $170+ for 1 Lb Accurate 2230, 1 Lb Accurate No. 7 and 1K Fed SPP, then said screw it. If I could've gotten 2k SPP and 2k LPP then I would've.
