kevin c Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 For those who can't get primers at any price, I just opened a primer trading thread in the classifieds. I know it won't help those who are really low, but it may help folks who have one type but need another. The idea is to trade at larger matches that draw from a larger geographic area - more shooters with various stock to trade or with regional differences in supply.

Rogan Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The big prices are true. Here in Phoenix at the gun show primers were going for $107 a 1000. And there was a long line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaunH Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Portland, Oregon A local gun store had a case of CCI SPP. Price was $ 120/box. The clerk (SOB) said to me, "Look at the bright side, you don't have to order them and pay hazmat and shipping." Then he laughed. It's a helpless feeling that makes me want to set people like that on fire and make smores to cheer me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David.Hylton Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I bought some last night at $31.99, about normal if you can find them. But I am seeing more in stock. What do you need? I can direct you to a couple of places that have them in stock. hth, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Last week bought some WSP for $34/1000. He was limiting people to 2,000 per person, though. I thought it was reasonable and nice of him to try to make sure that more than just one of his customers got some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not far from you. I'm just outside Warren in Howland. I haven't been hunting too hard as I'm okay for this year and probably most of next but the last time I was at Stockers in Champion a month or so ago they had a few Winchester SPP for for something like $5.50 / 100. They are always high but I thought that was just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufftytuffty Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 A story i'm hearing is Winchester have increased their recommended MSRP. Anyone know fer sure? Why would they...to maximize profits or slow sales? Or did someone tell them to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
