With hazmat and shipping on one sleeve, it works out to the same as $34/box in-store. Unfortunately, there is a one sleeve limit, so you can't spread the hazmat and shipping out.AndyC wrote:You didn't say whether or not you need to have them shipped to you... so like Larry, I'm wondering what brand they are and whether you've factored in shipping and HazMat fees.
I am mostly curious about where prices have settled between panics. Right now I am just buying from the store to get by, but when I feel like prices have bottomed out again, I am planning on purchasing enough for a decade or two.
It is all relative. 5k my be good enough for one shooter for a year or two, while 40k may only last a year for the guy next door.
I don't think there is a big price break for 5k-10k primers. I usually just grab a brick when I see them. Cabela's has had win small pistol almost every week for the last month or so, along with the smaller gun shops. I grabbed 5k primers last November and paid .05 and drove 7 hours round trip to pick them up. I needed them that bad.
Paying 32-35 a thousand at a big box seems cheap and easy at this point.
