Gun Show Finds - Primers
Adding 2 cents to the ongoing consumer reports of primer prices; I chanced to attend a "smallish" gun show in Central Texas this weekend.
One table, out of perhaps 30 tables total, had primers for sale - and only small pistol. He wanted $70 per thousand for GINEX brand, which as far as I'm concerned, are fine. I brought 2000 home as it's the best price I'd seen in years. To me it makes sense to pick them up when you see "best" prices I've seen in quite a while.
Also got a mixed box of .357 diameter swagged 158 gr SWC and 148 gr WC for $20. I sorted them and there's about an equal number of both for a total of over 400.
And a vintage Lee Loader for .410 bore shotshells in complete and immaculate condition. All I'll need for my relatively low volume 410 gunning.

Now that was a good outing.
Have fun with the .410 loader and be gentle with those little hulls
and even though they are a pain to load, they are a hoot to shoot.
Congratulations.

Some of us have plenty of one primer type but are short on another. At a Ft. Worth gun show a few months ago, I found a dealer that had quite an assortment of primers. I was able to trade several thousand LR primers even for LP. It's worth a try.

Killer price for gun show primers, good price for any primers in today's market. SW has them occasionally for $5.40/100.
