Primer prices - having a laugh?
- Thread starter SGK
- Start date
The last primers I bought two years ago I paid $150/5m and only a little since locally @ $60/m. I have heard "rumors" of one of the Army ordnance plants being bought and looking to reopen manufacturing primers. The plant is located in Texas, but I know not of which one. I do hope it is true as the more the merrier.

The NFPA, like the ICC(international Code Council), ASTM, ACI(very few concrete guys even know this exists) etc all provide standards for codes. Those standards are then adopted by states, cities and counties. Usually by ordinance locally or legislatively at the state level(think state fire marshals) they are given the authority to enforce those standards and codes.
So yes, NFPA is very enforceable. The same fire departments that fine you during periodical inspections can in fact fine you and even get court orders to enforce. Will they mess with this? Nope. At least not until a fireman is injured as a result of this then stand by.
At least Brownells is offering financing when you buy primers.

Hmmmmm...... actual yearly interest rate on revolving charge account usually runs about 23%.
Seems to me that if you can't afford to buy it outright........ you definitely can't afford to buy on credit.
Mike here from Performance Shooting, Inc if you call me I will sell CCI 450's for $89.99 per 1,000 with shipping at $29.95 for as many as you buy. If you guys want to save some money call me at 518-483-5241.
Website says out of stock, do you have any other primer in stock
I have 50,000 of the 450's coming next week that I can pre-sell right now. We have some magnum small pistol primers in stock right now.
Outside is SRP and large pistol primers I haven’t seen much else here in over a year. I was in a local gun shop over the weekend and they had Remington LRP for $8.45 for a sleeve of 100. I bought 2 sleeves just to try out. Yeah, I know I got ripped off, but I still have some primers. That’s the highest price I’ve seen here and before that it was $6.99 for a sleeve.

Why so much for shipping?
$29.95 and you can get as much as you want, so for 50,000 primers I'm charging $29.95 that dirt cheap?
Hazmat?
Included in the $29.95
Can't argue with that!!
Some people will pay whatever the current price is and others will hold out hoping for cheaper prices again. As much as I’d like to see prices get back down to 2019 pricing I think we’re just about where we’re going to be for the foreseeable future. Inflation is at record highs, raw materials are hard to source, transportations a joke, fuels about to set record highs and nobody’s lifting a finger to do anything about it. As bad as it hurts to say it I think it’s either pay now or cry later if you need something.

Was at the local gun shop yesterday and they have BR4's for $70ish.K. I am thinking this is the new reality for me locally.
