Small Pistol Primers on sale at Scheels

[ike1518]

I stopped in the Johnstown, CO Scheels this morning to see if they had any small pistol primers (spp). They had Federal spp for $70/1,000 and the thinking that was a good price I picked up two bricks. When I checked-out I found out they were on sale for an additional $10.50 per brick so I got two more bricks.

Good day, God is good.

Get 'em while you can; the next serious shortage may be just around the corner. I'd rather pay a few dollars more and have primers than look for $50 primers and have none.

 

[ike1518]

Yes indeed. As they say: When they're cheap stack'em deep.

Here in Montana, Scheels has the CCI SPP priced at $59.49. 3 months ago, they were $85 a brick.

We may be coming back to reasonableness, however temporary that may be.

A LGS near me has primers, enough that they are advertising on TV that they have primers. $82/1000. Not a good price but nice to know they are plentiful enough to advertise.

Is there a shortage of primers? Hadn't noticed, I have not bought any in about 5+ years.

 

[ike1518]

They've been more scarce than common sense in this crazy world of ours.

On the CCI website SPP are $53.99 msrp. Small rifle $58.99 then they go up by a bunch for large and BR

If you have a Sportsman's Warehouse near you they have Remington
SPP and LPP for $57.00 per K. Even cheaper if you're a vet .

Last primers that I bought cost me $10.00/K.

I'm old enough to remember buying primers from one particular source at $30/5000. (This was back in the '70s, and was a really good price even back then.) NOBODY would expect to see those prices again, but looking at the CPI you'd expect primers to go for around 5-7 times that, or maybe about $30-$40 per thousand if you shop around.

But of course, price increases have greatly outstripped the CPI. The $57/1000 price mentioned earlier in this thread just seems "pricey" rather than "insane."

Your thinking is very popular. Unfortunately, it keeps the price inflated.

Your thinking is very popular. Unfortunately, it keeps the price inflated.

With that kind of logic, no one should be buying anything these days then.

I was only offering a suggestion for those who wish to keep shooting without primer shortage interruption.

That's not logic, it unrealistic dreaming. However, I'll bet they're not walking instead of driving as they wait for gas to go back to fifty cents a gallon.
