Primers coming back?

[tabascoz28]

American Reloading, bought from them before, never primer(Ginex) or powder(pull down) but this is CCI. Hopefully that means our stores will have them soon and for less than 85/k

LOL, I just saw the same thing and was coming to this thread to post a second indicator but, it's not.

[tabascoz28]

And gone. I wonder if these are errors since AmRe sell a lot of surplus. We'll see how the rest of retail follows.

I keep an eye on TargetSports USA. They seem to have primers available, but I'm not interested at 10-12 cents apiece.

It's hard to know whether the finished ammunition backlog has cleared. The nearby Cabelas doesn't have much on the shelves. The nearby Sportsman's Warehouse seems to have more but not what I'd call an abundance. Prices for finished ammunition seem to be coming down a bit. Taken together, indications are that inventories are growing so the primer supply should start to increase and that will lead to lower prices. Going forward anyone who stockpiled primers in order to flip them is more likely than not to lose money if they haven't already unloaded what they bought at inflated prices hoping prices would go still higher, so they may have an incentive to .put what they have on the market.

Scheels in Sparks had a good selection the other day, plus a good selection of powder.

I'm dreaming of .05 Primers. It's disturbing, like a nightmare after I wake up and look what I paid for my last batches I ordered last year.

Just purchased some Remington 1-1/2 for 5.10/100 limit 2. Sportsman warehouse.

Oh that's good, so about 50/k. They were the lowest priced during the whole pandemic, not like smaller gun stores. Just an observation, no judgement.

Had a good stash of primers and brass, just not enough bulk powder. But powder didn't see that big of a jump in price compared to ammo and primers.

I live too far to be coming back day after day but if I lived across the street, yeah everyday for those Rems.

They aren't truly back until large rifle primers are available. I haven't seen large rifle for about 2 years and I check every few days. If they are available somewhere I seem to miss them.

[CSACANNONEER]

They have CCI SRMPs again.

[tabascoz28]

Ammoseek all primers are around the 85\k range. Bulk buy if course.
