Default Heads up- Winchester Small Pistol $69.99

Powder Valley has WSP for $69.99/1,000 today only. Still expensive but the best price I've seen in forever. I'm in for a case. I'll wait on another case. Add in hazmat, shipping, tax that's another $75 for me.

$425.31 delivered for 5,000. What ya gonna do.

American Reloading had 6,000 Fiocci spp for $369 last week. Price included shipping and hazmat. I bit and they seem to be good stuff. I have shot them before with no problems. As a Montanan I was whining about having to pay someone $12 in sales tax.

When I burn up my Argentine ones I'll have to try those.

Lol, the price of wsp when i first purchased them when i started reloading was 59.99 or 69.99 a box of 1000.

Its going to be a while before i need to get more primers. The price is good though, really wish i had the option at the moment.

i was just wondering...they have been in the process of supposedly making primers here in the US. I know they had some problems with land purchase I think!

Are the Fiocchi primers at American Reloading the regular formula or the “lead free” formula with the 15 yr shelf life?

You must have missed that Norma had small pistol primers for 49.99 for 1000 in February with free shipping with a order of 3000.

Does anyone know anything factual about when the new Fiocchi primer plant in Little Rock will begin production? Initially that plant was supposed to have been in operation by early 2025, but I have seen no recent information. I remember Fiocchi made a very serious blunder about selecting and buying the piece of property on which the plant was to have been constructed, but that may have been overcome by now. Or maybe not.

No indications seen that the "Expansion Industries" primer factory in Texarkana was anything other than a scam operation to swindle investors.

Fiocci had made it clear the primers to be produced at new plant were going into ammo, not being sold on open market. And yes the Texarkana operation is totally bankrupt

I think I did see that, but it was shortly after I bought 1,000 Argentine primers from Powder Valley with free hazmat at $55.99/1,000. The $69.99 wasn't the best deal on price alone, but they are my favorite Winchester Primers.

Being an optimist, I'd like to think that the much better availability we are seeing vs. one to two years ago is a sign of a slow thaw.

I finally broke down and bought a brick of Winchester SPP at the Reno, Nv. gunshow last week. $64.95, but $70 something with sales tax. That was the hard part, no sales tax in Or. Last ones I bot were $40 cheaper before pandemic.
