Yep. That's what i was quoted about a week ago at the local GM. As I wandered around looking at various items they carry...fishing, hunting, shooting, camping, etc. I just don't know how they stay in business.

Is it possible that domestic European brands such as RWS, Lapua, Fiocchi, S&B or some of the Russian primers can be bought for less? That's terrible for Federal primers!!!

Well some 65USD/1000 approx for S&B primers.
Note that these prices is in 5K boxes.
But to be honest, I prefer US quality in both my guns as reloding supplies no matter if there is a few dollar more.
For me, nothing beats the Federal primers, and i spend some 25-30K primers a year. Only the VihtaVuori powder is the thing I prefer of EU origin. But it is not cheap eighter as we pay some 95USD/kg for that here.
You can have some fun by doing a search at Midway Sverige-laddutrustning, vapendelar, kulor, hylsor, kikare, kikarsikten, GPS, avståndsmätare, luftvapen, svartkrutsvapen, GPS for your favorite bullet.
The searchbox is Sök efter: and the take the diplayed price and divide it with 7,8 and after that put 15USD to the price for freight. Make sure that you sit down while doing this.

A local G/S had a pallet of primers the other day. I bought 5000 of each size for 149.99 per 5000. The last primers I bought were 20 a brick of 1000, not all that long ago (couple years)

I wish primers were that price up here. Right now, depending on where I go, I can expect to pay from 40-50 dollars/1000...plus 13% tax. I just picked up some small pistol primers for $40/1000 last week. Also, Winchester small pistol (which I normally use), seem to be made of unobtainium these days, as nobody has any in stock.
While the situation is not as dry as it was a few months ago, it's still not that bad, but there do seem to be spot shortages, and high prices.

My local Pawn/Gun Shop has been sporadic lately.
They were like everybody with almost no pistol primers for a good while.Then I go in and the shelf is full of Federal primers, large and small pistol at $32 a 1000. I bought a couple thousand of each and went back a few weeks later and bought 4000 for a friend.
A few days ago, they have a good many CCI primers but nothing else.
I run a lot of my guns with light springs in competition and the guns like Federals.
It is getting better though.

Stocked up pretty well @ $35/1K. I don't know if the price is going down here in the People's Republik.
Not only are we a royal PITA for shipping guns (which = way higher prices in the shops
) but we are losing internet ammo sales soon. I don't foresee any prices going down for reloading supplies.Only a matter of time before the only lead they allow into the Republik will be on kids' toys...
