Have just returned form the Dale City, VA. show. While there, a gentelman approached my table offering small rifle primers for carbine reloading. I ask "How Much?" "$50.00 per thousand firm for Winchester and/or Federal". A while later I saw him again. He had sold out. Did I miss out on a great deal or what????
Since there are no small rifle primers anywhere's to be found, only you can answer whether they are worth $50.00 or not.Quote:

I'm trying to wait before buying any primers and I hope the supply loosen's up and the price drops a little. As I usually buy by the case that would be pretty expensive for a case of each size.
I was at the WAC show in Puyallup, WA on Saturday. I saw more primers available their then I had seen for several months. Prices ranged from $40 to $60 per brick. I bought a brick of CCI small pistol for $40. He had several bricks available, but I was just replacing what I had used in the last three months. Maybe supplies are starting to return back to normal, although two different vendors told me they were just receiving orders placed last Nov & Dec.
You are seeing more primers now as reloading has always been mainly a winter hobby. Less people just load less in the summer months. Been selling reloading equipment and supplies for 23 yrs. It is just the way it is.
just ordered 5,000 small match primers from Midway,and they have more to sell, plus a haz fee, might be sold out by now, Duggaboy
just got 5,000 small primers from Midway, hope they are not all sold out by the time you see this, Duggaboy
