$90/1000?!?

[Boxerrider]

FIL called me after attending a gun show in north TX and said the only primers he found were $90/1000.
Are the rest of y'all seeing this too?
I've thought about driving to the next Austin or San Antonio show to see if I could find some but if this has become SOP I think I'll skip it. I have plenty of work to keep me busy in the evenings, but I would rather be filling brass.

Enjoy!

Sounds like price gouging to me. The manufacturers will catch up on the shortages and things will start returning to "normal."

[stroo]

The last gun show I went to in Denton had primers going for $70/1000. I passed.

Midway will only sell 1000 primers per customer when they are in stock, $30.00 plus $20 hazmat plus shipping.

I was looking for small pistol primers at the Reliant Gun Show. I didn't expect to see any since I went on Sunday. Shockingly enough, they had a box of 1000 left. The price was $49 so I just left it there...

I've been buying from http://www.wideners.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

When they are in stock, they have been selling Wolf for ~$20.00 a thousand.

If you are in the Arlington area, I will have 40K assorted coming in on Tuesday or Wednesday.
They will be selling for 42.00/1000
I think they are all going to be Wolf, but not sure til they get here.

[Griz44]

Wideners current pricing has been running 29-34 per thousand, but availability when they have them is usually just a few hours.

This primer shortage is coming to an end. (I hope) I just got some Magtech SP from Cabela's for 30/1000. I bought some powder and my buddy some primers also so the hazmat fee got spread out.

This place has wolf primers in stock as of the time of this post.

I am not recommending wolf, but there they are if you need them.

On gunbroker.com there had been prices as high as $150/1000 but now barely 30-40/1000. plus they are getting sold in 5000-10000 lots instead of 1000 lots. Nice to see PANIC on the selling side for a change!!!!!!!

My Son just bought us some for $35.00/100 at the Austin show I believe. That was small pistol. Probably the hardest to find.

Is it wrong that I opened this thread hoping to find a link to .223 or 7.62x39 ammo?

$51.99 a 1000 for Winchester at the GRB Show this weekend.

I was told of $65-80/m primers at the Amarillo Gun Show last week. Outrageous is one word that comes to mind!

[Oldgringo]

Y'all are gonna' hate me but that's just the way it is.

Y'all remember me mentioning the Springfield Compact 1911 I found and bought at a little out of the way gunshop above Blue Mesa Reservoir outside of Gunnison, CO earlier this summer and what I went through to get it shipped to Texas and transported back up to Colorado? I love it!

Well, today I stopped in to see my new friend at this gunshop about a Goodrich & Gould belt he had in stock and one thing led to another. Long story short - I bought 4,000 FEDERAL Small Pistol Primers for $25.99/M plus tax! Bill said he didn't know he had then until some customer found them on a bottom shelf. At first, I only bought 3,000 thinking I didn't want to be greedy or a hoarder; but, I got over it and took them all. WHAT A JERK am I!

Lads and Lassies, you just gotta' keep lookin', they're out there...somewhere. BTW, anybody know where there are any large pistol primers...at a reasonable price?
