RangerTrace Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Got a call from a friend at a local gun store today advising they had CCI SPP primers for $99 a thousand. I quickly went there and bought 10K of them. I never would have believed I'd be happy to find primers for that price......coming from the same guy that's paying $5.50 for a gallon of diesel.

kuletchi1 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I feel you my brother in arms. I thought I put away enough and sold some for profit, not knowing the prices were still going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99mpower Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 i feel this in my soul.... paying $60+ if im lucky, is absolutely ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 CCI Small Pistol Primers are $84.99 at my local Scheels, they had a lot of them too. Not sure if these prices will ever return to sane levels, especially if people keep buying them at those prices there is little incentive for manufacturers to drop the price.

STOP IT For most it’s either stop shooting or pay it. What choice do you make if you love to shoot. It’s easy to say stop shooting if you don’t truly have a passion for shooting every weekend.

Matt1911 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Prices are slowly dropping. I’m just buying 115 grain Blazer to tide me over for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STOP IT I don't cry about high prices because Winchester Small Pistol were less than 10.00 a thousand when I started, so I got over sticker shock long ago. Plus I have more money than time left to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 yeh I still have stuff with sub $29 price tags.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoot 12,000 rounds a year, so my primer's don't have a long shelve life. But, keeping with the theme of the thread, because you paid 29.00 dollars that kept prices from going back to 10.00 dollars, shame on you.

Racinready300ex Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I just picked up some 9mm for 18 cents a round. It's probably trashy, but it'll be fine for practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more are staying in stock long term. The joy will be timing a purchase prior to the next election cycle as this trend won't stay here forever.

But, I haven't really been looking either. I did pick up a few thousand of those Argentinian primers to test but haven't tried them yet. I guess I should get around to that.

The SA's do good in my revolvers, don't know about how they will do in a semiautomatic because I don't own any. Used over 5,000 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
