i bought primers today that i do not want....

[Clancy]

jeff...have you been around for the prior 2 primer shortages ??

quess what retail prices went up every time and more on the second one....why because the industry saw individuals pay 100 per brick.
this time people were paying over 200 over k guess what..the industry learned to keep an eye on the retail customer.
you are living in a dream world.....more shooters than supply and will be for a while. match primers will be over 100.........
as with mine...YOUR OPINION IS NOT A FACT

I kinda feel bad for you since the dang 205Ms showed up right after you had to buy the CCIs.

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.

yes they have no clue what's coming

Yep, $149.99. LL Bean in Freeport ME had 6 cases last week and that was the price per 1K plus 5.5% sales tax. No idea where they got them. I have no idea if they can ship haz mat stuff. I have no horse in this race just know someone who works there and let me know.

Lol. Fancy ass LL Bean primers. That is the wave of the future. Abercrombie brass and Chanel powders, and sold gold custom turned bullets.

Yes they sell long guns and ammo, cleaning supplies, etc. but this is the first time I've seen them into components other than black powder substitutes. None of this makes it into their catalog on online presence. I guess they don't want to offend or have to defend themselves to the woke deck shoe crowd.

If you want to play you have to pay the piper

It is better to have and not need then to need and not have

BR4's or CCI 450's I see no difference

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.

I shot short range benchrest for several years. I have a small mountain of Fed 205’s. I was going to start using them for 9mm, if you are anywhere close to western Pa. I can part with several K for a reasonable price since you need them for competition. I know how you feel, retired in 99 to shoot, and don’t leave many days go by without shooting. Let me know. You can call me at (724) 968-8258 or text.

If this gentleman doesn’t want them, I’d gladly welcome some 205’s if you can part with them. I go through several thousand SRP’s a year shooting BR. I have a good number of CCI’s but am low on the 205’s that I prefer to use. I live in western PA. I would be happy to road trip to your place. Thanks.

 

[Enosiophobia]

I was getting them in 5K bricks from "a guy" for around $95.00 / 1000 but the ChinaFlu hysteria killed that.

 

[wildcat3d]

Order last week, received yesterday from Brownells/Sinclair, 2 brick's of GM205Ms for 94.99 a brick 224.09 shipped. What can I say, I like to shoot... Just now Midsouth has 8 lb. jug of N133 mine is on the way..tad over 300.00

Noooooooooo!!....dont do it..dont let corporate America fuck us more then they are..hold out..you will be surprised how quickly we the people can starve out a business if we stick together God damn it..
I'm sorry guys..but this is a fucking joke..im getting sick of this industry stroking us off ever 3 God damn yrs.....when more of them go out of business maybe they will learn ....maybe we should all sit home and let demand build so we can all charge more for our personal skills..oh..dont want to pay my new pay rate..I quit..see it works both ways..then go work for the competition and name your price..you guys are gonna learn the hard way..
I seen the primer price on Brownells.com
And left ther web site...
I learned when Obama got elected to stock up..so for a 140$..for 1000 primers...plus shipping,, plus hazmat fee
you can suck it..

 

[bobcat93]

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.

BAM!..you typed a mouth full...isnt it funny a 600$ rifle being sold for 3x's value new...just crazy..
I've heard this called (the big grab)
We are in the grips of a world wide pandemic..its not covid thats gonna kill us...it a pandemic of Greed

The struggle is real...this topic is sooooo depressing..

Gentlemen, Inflation is a terrible tax. That said, nothing cures High Prices, Like High Prices.

Lots of things I can say to you right now, but out of love for the sport, respect for this amazing forum and my fellow shooter I would like to apologize for the profanity used in my post.
And you can step right down off your high horse..your not that important buddy
