powder and primer prices

[dwtt]

How much is everyone paying for their powder and primers? I went to a gun show today and bought 1000 large pistol primers for $35 and a pound of Blue Dot for $25.55

That's sounds about right. That's pretty normal for retail if its in stock.

normal for retail and since you didn't have to pay for hazmat shipping. you could get it just a little cheaper online if you look and wait for the right places to carry stock.

primers are usually good to get from midway

powders from thirdgen, powder valley, or recob

Ripped off not much you got...

Unless Tula primers they were and the preferred powder was blue dot...

Last week I paid $19/1# for Red Dot and $30 for primers @ Phillips.

Was there still a line of people waiting to buy primers or is it back to normal now?

I just paid $50 for Win SPP from Ammo Bros....got some line if BS about why the price was so high, but what the hell, I needed some....call it an impulse buy and not an educated decision...lol

These were CCI primers, the only ones left when I got there. I didn't want to pay for the hazmat since I only needed a little, but if I were in need of 4 lbs of powder and 3K primers, I would definately buy online. Funny, this is the first time I bought primers and powder in small quantities at a gun show.

Damn... I think Bullseye still has all of their spp sitting at $35.00/1k.

Phillip's is the place allright. Very fair to deal with.

I paid $50 for a box of cci #41 last week at the lgs. Asked the guy why so much and was told "thats the normal price for those". Hmmmm....I paid $29 for #34's last yr. Atleast you can find them now. Think things will continue to get better and prices will fall. Still too much demand out there.

Maybe it was his first day, hence his truthful answer, for all he knew they always WERE that price... :\
