100,000 Primers

A poster on another message board was wanting to thin out his herd of reloading stuff. One item was 100,000 primers tho size and type was not specified. Would you consider this to be a lot or not very many. I can just imagine having 100 boxes of Federal large rifle primers in my basement, not.
 
Any of us who have shot, competed a lot over the years, know you need a two year supply of everything. I remember in the late 70's or maybe early 80's we had a bore brush shortage. 6MM's were non existent. I'd beg, borrow or steal one for every match one year. Powder, 220 Russian cases dried up. It always something in short supply.

I remember making ppc cases from 7.62x39 brass. You would buy 1000 to get 25-35 worthy of using. I was super gluing primers in sako brass just so they didnt fall out going to the line. Shortages are a nightmare for sure. As far as 100,000 primers- hope its a good lot!

Good point. What if it's a crappy lot. Will they take it back?
 
Good lot(s)? Just get a few more bbls chambered in a few more calibers and something is bound to click. :p :cool:
My last purchase was 95k of SRP Mag Wolf at St Louis BR shoot. 5.56 as opposed to KVB 223 being standard. Just getting geared up for squirrels for this year. :D
