I was paying $40/K locally anyway. $50 would be better than the cluster we have now.

I bough from 2 sources locally where they trickle in 200 per customer until they are sold out which is by the end off that day or week. Both places went up to $7/100 and they promised me that it will NOT go back down from there based on what they pay their manufacturers/distributors....I tend to believe that.

I recovered just over 150 CCI 450 primers today from 300 BO and 6.8 SPC pulled rounds.

I also found a total of 133 primed 38 S&W and 38 Colt brass that I had packed away. That's 133 9mm or 38 Special that I'll likely load tomorrow.

I recovered around 50 CCI 350 primers from some .41 Rem brass.

I never thought I'd be pulling bullets solely for the primers!

More than 24 cents a primer? Daggone someone was desperate. I've heard projections of 2023 for supplies to return to normal.

Who would ever have thought TP would ever be in short supply or rationed? Desperate times.
Why I think the shortage will take along time to stabilize. Those that have been doing without or over paying will buy a lot to stock up when things start to settle. I could easily see this going on this time next year.

Fred...nothing says they are shipping without haz mat fees. If I got that much for my powder or primers I would ship for free...wouldn't you? There was a way for the average person to ship Haz mats...at least there was.

WHAT THE...?!!!

I have 2,000 of those...NIB...I paid $39/1000 2 weeks ago.

As of this edit, there are 7 other identical items on GB. The “active” items are under $200. I was winning a bid on a similar item 2 weeks ago. I was at $92 for 2,400 primers. LR Match. At the last minute, literally, a bidder came in at $300...the “buy it now” price. With the 15 minute rule, wouldn’t you have just bid $95 just to see what the bid levels were? The auction is extended 15 minutes with every additional bid.

I call BS!
