MemphisMechanic Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) This topic is something I think we might all find useful, and I don't think anything like it exists around here. The basic idea? Anytime one of us finds a good deal on primers (small or large, rifle or pistol) we post a link in this thread. Theoretically, instead of each of us coming over the websites of powder valley, Grafs, and others every single time we wish to order components... a quick check in this thread would point you to the best retailer to visit. I'm ordering 10k of Win or CCI small pistol later today, and I'll post a link to the best price I find in order to get the ball rolling.

Bummy425 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Im still kicking myself for not buying 10k when Cabelas had their sale a couple months ago. Just had to pay full retail last week because my supply was getting too low. At least you can find them pretty easily now.

MemphisMechanic Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Wideners has CCI on sale for $129 per 5,000. That's $25.80 per thousand! https://www.wideners.com/reloading-supplies/primers/small-pistol-primers I had them in my cart. Getting ready to pull the trigger. But wait. Almost $350 total for 10K? Oh. Right. Shipping and HazMat and Sales Tax. (And our tax is almost 10%!) I ended up buying them from Graf's for $311 out the door to get 10k primers. Slightly higher price... But missing that ten percent markup because they don't have a store or warehouse in my state. So check the final totals with shipping and everything figured in. Don't just buy components from the lowest advertised price per thousand. Edited May 11, 2016 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I THINK there used to be a thread like this. It is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev1911 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I placed a powdervalley order a few days ago, and added some Fiocchi small pistol for $24 per 1500. That's .016 each. Shows out of stock now, but definitely worth keeping an eye out for them. I've used them in the past with no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I really like Tula primers, but, as I understand, they were banned from importation some time back and now it seems that everyone is running out of them. Still have a few thousand but guess I'll go back to CCIs when I run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcoz Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Cabelas has standard CCI primers on sale for $27.99 right now. In addition they have free shipping over $99 and their hazmat fee is always only $20 instead of the $28.50 or $30 that most everyone else charges.

B_RAD Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I got some S&B primers for $20 last week. They're normal price is $25. I've only loaded up about 300 but think I like them. To me, they seem to seat easier than federals. They've all went off, even with my reduced striker spring in my G34. I'll probably buy more. Federals are never in stock and everything else is $30+.

jmorris Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Yeah, without links posted the thread will be a little less than useful. Even that won't be much help because this was the link I used to buy the S&B primers at $17.99/1000 with free shipping on orders over $100. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=2002898&type=product&MDK=dynbanP_SL&MDC=cat333152280 Might notice the link doesn't change when the price does.

jmorris Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Yeah, we need a computer guy to create an app not unlike a stock market ticker but for primer prices. When you do add the ability to buy and sell at certain prices. Better patent it or I will steal it and use it for bullets, brass, magazines, firearms,....

Yikes! There is no way I would want to assume the liability of selling known defective reloading components. And 20 bucks for defective primers is not a good deal.
