Local Dealer Got Some Small Rifle Primers

[CBinNH]

I stopped by a local gunshop hoping (dreaming) to find some some small pistol primers. No go, but he did get 5,000 CCI400 small rifle. Said he was surprised to get them, though only a fraction of what he ordered. I picked up a 1000 for trading stock. Maybe I can swap with someone for some pistol primers. I give him credit for not gouging, only $34 a thousand. Hope this dry spell comes to an end soon.

Don't trade 'em, shoot em.

If you are using them in good .357 revolvers or Leverguns SR works every bit as good as SP.

Things are slowly looking up around here. My dealer recently got in a shipment of powder he'd had on order for a long time and called to let me know that he had a 4 lb. jug of Unique stuck back for me. When I stopped by to pick it he told me that he was expecting a shipment of primers on the 29th and the distributor had offered him a bunch of PMC brand primers too.
He took some but stated that he had never tried them before and couldn't ever remember seeing them offered before. I've shot a lot of PMC ammo and never had a problem with it so I asked him to stash some back for me,they are supposed to be lead-free. Maybe there will be stuff back in the pipeline before too long.

What price IS gouging? I think $34/K is pretty steep!

Thanks for the link OI,
SmokeEater2,
I have had good luck with PMC ammo too. I am leery of lead free primers though. They don't last as long as the "leaded" type.
JustaJeepGuy,
The going rate on Gunbroker seems to be $60 to $80 per thousand right now for small pistol & small rifle nearly as much too. Insanity. Makes $34 sound cheap to me.

Sixty to $80/K?? Somebody's gone off the deep end! Buyers are nuts!

Would you consider this gouging?

That MAY be slightly out of control.

Well, at the last two shows there have only been 2 tables with primers. One guy asking $65-75/K (don't recall the type of primers) and another asking $100/K for Wolf primers. Other than stopping to laugh, no one gave them a second look...
