As I mentioned earlier, I saw references to Turkish-made primers now being sold here for less than six cents each. And that they seem to work fine. Also VV primers are appearing, but no mention of pricing. Maybe it is finally time for a primer price war. Just let the free market work. What I don’t understand is why the numerous foreign primer manufacturers took so long to invade the US market. But I continue to believe that the floor will be around a nickel.
It takes a lot of time and work to set up the import permits. IF the foreign primer manufacturers up production and export more to the US, I'll bet we hit $50 or less retail consistantly everywhere.
We can easily regularly consume an intire shipload, but can they send that much?
