Primer prices

[geobru]

I went into a local BiMart and made a siwash through the sporting goods department and noticed a major change. Primers were out on a shelf where I could get what I wanted without having to get a clerk to retrieve them from behind the counter. The real eye catcher was he prices. CCI primers were regular priced at $5.49 or $5.99 per hundred! Up until now, prices have been anywhere from $8.99 to $11.99 at Cabela's and BiMart when they have them.

I am wondering if this is a fluke, or are primer prices actually coming down. What are you guys seeing in your neck of the woods?

Suppliers seem to have lowered prices, some types or brands more than others.

I picked some up in december at a small local show that a larger dealer was set up at, $50/1000, then $45/1000, then $40/1000, depending on how many one bought.

Definitely down around here for primers. Powder hasn't seemed to move in the same direction yet though.

I paid $5.99 and $6.99 a few days ago at Sportsman's Warehouse.

Around here it is still $89 and up per thousand.
There is a Bass Pro Outpost store opening in Ft. Smith this week that should increase the competition a little if they carry any reloading supplies.

I bought my last case just before the pandemic... paid $169 for it. Still unopened, but, I'm down to my last couple hundred from the previous case. When I open this one, I'll start shopping for the next one.

I ordered Federal SPP yesterday from Scheel’s. I got 2000 for $54 per thousand before shipping/hazmat etc

[Rimfire McNutjob]

The lowest I've seen lately for SPP are White River for $35 per thousand over at Republic Ammunition.

Stock up at low prices while you can. If and I hope not, the GOP loses the 2026 and the 208 elections, the democrats will produce anti-firearm bills. As a result, prices up, supply down. It has happened before.
