They have everything on that shelf SPP LPP SRP LRP BR-41 Fed and CCI!! There was another shelf full of CCI No 500 SPP too! Still only 100/day but hey they at least have them. I have my wife neighbors and friends all stopping lol! The fact that they are not hidden behind a counter is a good sign too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigarmsp226 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 What is interesting is the language on the signs. Read it closely - I read it to say that I can actually purchase 100 + 100 per day.... The sign says 100 “and” 100 per day...Might be worth a try on your next trip in.....If I lived close I would at least give it a try...Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have more SRP primers than brass and bullets right now and plenty of loaded rifle ammo to wait this out a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The way I read that is you can buy 100 pistol and 100 rifle per day and/or maybe 200 pistol or 200 rifle? Could be tricky but at those prices I think I’d wait awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow process but I did get enough this week to load some 9mm this week which I really needed. I keep thinking they will be gone the next time I am there but they loaded up a third shelf full of them.

Sigarmsp226 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 GREAT News ML123 - Now the question will be tomorrow if they have changed the language in the signs. If not you (and a few of your family members or friends that do not reload) should become a daily visitor - at least for a while. I know the price is not the best but it is a source and keep in mind "if" you were able to purchase lets say 1000 SPP from Powder Valley for $40.00 you still have to pay $20.00 HazMat and $12.00 shipping so the final cost is not that much different when you think about it - This is a situation where two in the hand is worth the unknown (time and effort) in the bush (online purchase)....Just my thoughts....Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not bitching and unfortunately I believe it will be the new normal for awhile at least, especially after yesterday. I just wish I could by 10k and be done for awhile. I only started reloading in October so I am new to this. If we ever get to the point that you can buy in bulk online again I will for sure keep a good stock on hand. So they had 2 full racks like that when I took that pic they are down to just one shelf and most of the SPP are gone with just a few Federal SP magnums left. I have been going everyday and sending my wife too plus a few friends have stopped for me. The truck comes in today and they will restock before opening tomorrow so fingers crossed they have a nice new wonderful stock to pick away at all week. Not a bad business strategy either I seem to keep finding some other stupid s#!t to buy everytime I'm in there too lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigarmsp226 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The fun of reloading - I have been reloading for almost 40 years now so you have no idea how much of that "other stuff" I convince myself I must have. Truth told you have access to something that few in the US have access to right now and with the going price now on factory ammo - reloading (if you can get primers) is the place to be.....Good Luck on getting your primer inventory built up.....Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they let you buy 200 SPP? I didn’t realize you were starting from zero. Can understand your stance now. Until a person can order 5-10k at a time the hazmat does make them expensive.

Tom S. Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 $7 and $8 per 100? Ugh! Yes, I know what gougers are trying to get on GB, but they aren't getting it from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmojo Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 A friend told me that last weekend at the local gun show there was a guy selling SPP for $25 per 100. He had over 50,000 primers at his table and he sold them all in a couple of hours. The price seems ridiculous but even at $0.25 each for primers, there's still a significant savings from re-loading... $0.25 primer + $0.11 bullet + $0.02 powder = $0.38 per round. Can't buy 'em for that new today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take up another sport before I pay $25 per 100. . Edited January 10, 2021 by ysrracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigarmsp226 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Me also - and I hope people remember that store selling primers at that price when they are more than likely paying $40.00 per thousand before Haz-Mat from the various supply houses that continue to provide primers at fair prices like PV, Brownells, Mid-South Reloadings and many others....Just my 2 cents worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigarmsp226 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) I found a 1000 pack of primers in my supplies about two years ago that cost me $17.00....I loaded them and they went bang...Guessing they were at least 10 years old... Anyone else remember when primers were less than $17.00 per thousand.....I cannot remember what they sold for when I started reloading in 1983....But they were cheap....Loaded tens of thousands of rounds of 148gr HBWC over 2.7gr of Bullseye on my RCBS Rock Chucker...The only progressive loader to have back in those days was a loader made by Star - I think...Mark Edited January 10, 2021 by Sigarmsp226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18111811 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 i started reloading rifle in 2003, i have some FGM primer i bought at the local gun shop who wasnt cheap. Price tags ranged from 16-18.99. if i mail ordered, i bet 5k was under $75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 When I started reloading 5000 Winchester primers were $70.00 at the gun show. Shortly after they went to $75.00 and I thought that was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML123 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Well considering I only got started reloading during this entire mess, and obviously did not stock up beforehand, I am making due even with the inflated prices. I got another 1400rds loaded this week with my wife and I plucking 100 SPP at a time from my LGS. unfortunately that well finally ran dry this weekend. It couldn't have come at a better time as I was down to 300rds. Considering I had to buy mixed brass and all my components since October I am still only around .20 a round to reload: .035 per case, .073 BBI bullets, .08 primer, .01 TG powder. With the cheapest 9mm factory ammo being .60/round these days I saved $560 loading 1400rds at today's prices. With the $400 I saved loading the previous 1000rds my Dillon 750 is already paid for!

Yup. I've only been loading a short time as well, and the cost of admission was definitely worth it! I've been able to keep stocked up on primers without getting hosed just by being very persistent in searching. Haven't a tough time finding powder now, unfortunately!
