Primers in stock - post what you find

Academy came through today. About $30 more than I paid for my last brick of LR primers but that was some time ago. I had ordered 3k but since I was already in the store I picked up another thousand. These were a big pill to swallow but at least I can stop hunting around and do some proper load development now without constantly changing primer brands. I would have preferred CCI but these will get the job done.

Higher priced than my recent purchase of the WIN LR from academy, but available, I went down the rabbit hole on the White River Energetics stuff that popped up a while back. The general consensus was they're pretty damn good. Mostly outperforming even some BR primers in consistency. At 109.99/K (LR) at powder valley, I'm sure no one here is getting a hard on but match performance under current BR primers pricing is worth considering if you're in that bracket of consumers.

Arkansas based, they have focused heavily on the export markets like New Zealand which evidently pays about 1.5-2x $ for primers as a standard price(250 NZD). Which does explain why they're not in the local box stores yet. Anyhow, I'm still not ready to bite but I hope someone here does so I can live vicariously.

TargetSportsUSA.COM has CCI 500 small pistol for $70 + the usual shipping and hazmat. Not the deal of the century but cheaper than they have been. Seems like prices are slowly drifting lower. Availability has improved greatly.

Also with your choice of either free shipping or free hazmat

Who is that?

Academy in Killeen had pretty much every type primer in stock. Usual prices but a few different LRPs which have been hard to come by.

They also had powders. H4350 for only $78/ pound......

Natchez has Magtech LR primers for $81/thousand.

Has anyone used the Magtech primers? Experiences, good or bad?

 

[TexMex247]

I had 1k Sr magtechs a decade ago and sold during the primer panic a few years ago for $120. They looked quality, no loose anvils in the sleeve I inspected, primer compound looked even and the backs were embossed with an M almost like the bench rest primers by some manufacturers.

Thanks. I know their ammo always goes bang.

Conroe Academy has winchester LR primers for $8.99 a hundred.

Bought a brick of cci 500 small pistol primers from scheels in The Colony Tx.

Academy in Conroe has, or had, winchester large rifle and cci mag large rifle primers in stock.

 

[TexMex247]

The way prices are trending it would be wise to wait. However if election doesn't go our way, the panic days might come back.

Precision Reloading has some small rifle and pistol primers available.

They seem to always have primers. LR are the only ones I haven’t seen lately.

I managed to get a brick of those last month

Powder Valley just sent out a "nothing but primers" flyer. Winchester SP at $69.99. They've been there a couple of times before. I bought some at that price. I'll wait and see if they go lower.

Sidebar: they also have a pretty good deal on Blue Bullets .38 158gr coated SWC at $76.49 for 925. That's $82.69 / 1,000. SNS is like $98 on those and Acme is like $103, Missouri $102. They have some other calibers too. I've never used their bullets but I'm sure they're fine.

Looks like some of these retailers are finally coming down on primer prices. Seen several places offering decent (compared to what they’ve been selling for!) prices.
