I picked up 3000 CCI large rifle primers at our gun show last Sunday for $40 per 1000. Most I've ever paid, but a bargain in today's prices. 
Also bought 209 shotgun primers for my nephew's inline ML rifle for $25 per 1000.

Right now I would gladly pay that for some...I have a local show in early Jan. so we will see but if there are any there they will be considerably higher I am sure.

Yes, I didn't need them, but I've always bought when I found bargains so when things went nuts I was in good shape.

That’s less than primers currently cost direct from CCI

And still the highest price I've ever paid for primers so far! But compared to what I see them going around here, they were a bargain.

I'm starting to see primers for sale by Midway and other dealers. Looks like the new price is $90 + hazmat fee. Bitter pill to swallow.

To put it all in perspective, in the 1897 Sears Roebuck catalog loaded 32-40 ammo was $2.29 per 100, brass was $1.30 per hundred and primers were $1.20 per 1000.


But wages were $13/week for 60 hours  Huh
