If I lived close enough to you I dang sure wouldn't mind giving you $90.00 per 1000.

I thought we lived in a free country? If the original poster wants to pay high prices for his loading needs, so be it. It’s his money. Man, put a keyboard in front of people and they become King.

Or a Influencer!
By the way, this has nothing to do with this thread.

Sounds like you made ur way into brunos

I'm kicking myself for loading 100 fire forming rounds with my 205M primers as I cracked open my last brick. I should have used some of my other SRP that don't get used very often. $140/K is steep.

Couldn't find groups at 100 yards. Longest hit with an air rifle on a 22x18 target was 1400 yards. Google is your friend. Lol.

Sometimes Google is clear full of BS to.

Well, there was a video too. I imagine it's able to be looked up on youtube. The rifle was a pcp, and looked like a modern bolt action rifle. Daniel boone wouldnt believe the progress made in black powder rifles either, but their real!Just bcause you've never seen it before doesn't mean it's bull. Bet you were a blast when they showed the first moon landing on TV. Fake news even back then.lol.

sorry i shoot real guns with powder and primers

We're all sorry you shoot real guns with powder and primers too

 

[Clancy]

If you don’t hoard one thing or another you probably don’t shoot much. Who cares if this guy bought components at a higher price than you? His purchase for personal use is a grain of sand in the desert of hell bound gun broker scalpers.

This doesnt go for just primers, but everything in general...

At what point is enough enough and everyone says the hail with it Im not spending $100k on a truck, or $130k on a boat, or $1k for a box of primers, $300 for a pair of tennis shoes, $100 for a pound of powder.. list goes on. Goods in general...

Im to that point. I make decent money, and still really feel the affect of this crazy inflation on all prices. Lots of things Im just saying you know what, Ill just do without... let some other dude go blow their money.

no choice
i shoot several rifles in competition that use small rifle match,, normally 205m federal, straight 205 if i have to.
a couple of fun target rifles also. a 6br varmint, some ar target rifles...lots of small primers needed
none on the shelf anywhere..no clue when they may show up.
not out but concerned about when
so today i bought 5000 cci small rifle br primers.....for $700.
schitt.
but in retirement, shooting is what i do and do not want to find out i have none.
i hope i never use thenm. hope i sell them at a loss..just not too big of a loss.

The CCI BR primer was about the most expensive primer before these explosive prices. In my Dashers, it was the best primer. Matt

6bra1k, I understand your purchase. During the Great Recession and primer shortage of 2009 I feared for my ammo supply and prior to 2016 election, I built up my inventory. Not to profit from it but to not have to worry for a long time. Used to shoot weekday mornings with several friends. I am the last man standing. I hope your purchase becomes a mistake in hindsight, but it is one, given the situation, I would also make. Hope this does not become the new normal, but every shortage becomes deeper and longer. Don't let your purchase have a negative effect on your fun.

Wait, US digital currency is on the Great Reset (2030) horizon. The price/cost won't matter, government will decide if you are allowed to buy ANYTHING.

I use whatever I get, and take what I can find. Ya can't always get your preferences. That said I got 2 boxes of 1000 for $8.90. One thousand for free because I gave a friend free reloading stuff I wasn't using that he needed and he gave me a box of one thousand...and the other was I used my points when a few boxes of primers hit the shelf and got those for $8.90 just like the good old days. I remember when primers were 59 cents a hundred regular price, Sierra .224 50 gr Sierra blitz were $2.89 per hundred, and the high priced IMR powders were $3.89 per pound, all could be had cheaper on sale. And I could reload very accurate 222 Remington for less than 5 cents a shot, regular price for many years. Found some old 59 cent primers and loaded them yesterday...they worked just fine.

Coyote, I appreciate all your posts. I hope the feel- gooders take time to read them and realize where this current climate is taking them.

GLO123, my friend you are exactly right "It is his money." But the statement he made in his original post is wrong. He had many choices, he could have learned from the other recent shortages and stocked up, he could shoot less, he could take up shooting an air rifle, he could have bought primers at this insane price and just not whined about it in this post, he could give up shooting until the situation changes. He had plenty of choices, instant gratification was the choice he made. Is it a bad choice? I do not know, only time will tell. I fear that paying this kind of price will prove to the primer makers that they can always get this kind of money.

 

[JimPag]

So do I. But I refuse to be held hostage. I will tell you one thing, shooting a springer airgun will teach you bench manners. I try to keep an open mind. I hope you have or can get bullets and powder at a fair price to use those primers, and by the way, Thamks for help keeping the prices inflated. Your THAT guy.

I don't get what u mean by thanks for keeping the prices inflated. Go buy a brick of BR4's from PV for 105 then add Haz-Mat and shipping and your talking over 140.

i disagree.
those were OPTIONS, but not CHOICES.
choices i make are based on MY wants and needs...not your opinion of what i could do.
