Last Timonium show had 1000 LR primers, $180!!!
When it hits $1.00 per primer I will sell my stash and retire.
Damn it, I am actually thinking about saving my SPP when I decap the 9mm cases ...
... and buying some prime all powder.
I posted in another thread i bought a cap and ball revolver so i would have something to shoot . don't know about useing up my stash ,might not be able to replace it . no way i'm paying today's prices . small and large rifle primers at .20 to .30 cents each ? not me .
Honestly, I think "part" of the problem is Manufacturers, and distributors need to raise the prices to the point that when they come into stock, people are not snapping them up and hoarding.
Right now we have a Rationing situation with the online sales because availability is low.
If they were sold for say $75/1000 (maybe more) online or on the shelf in shops, then there would be primers available for when people need them. But they have everyone up in arms whining that they are selling them for too much when they do have them. So the flippers are selling them for high prices cause they can't push any volume and are looking for the desperate buyer.
There are people spending all day searching sites to just buy them then not even use them (they have mental issues I think).
I was in a shop today and many calibers are 2x what they were a year ago, BUT they were in stock. 12 gauge clay loads for $10/25 instead of $5/25 but if you wanna shoot, you can. Go to Basspro or Walmart and they have NOTHING. I'd rather see it jacked up in price but available than nothing there. even at 10 cents a primer, I'm still way ahead than buying the loaded ammo at today's prices. With supply low and demand high, if you think you will only buy ammo at 2019 prices, well, your gonna just not shoot or if you already stocked up, great, shoot what you got.
Flame on.
Turns out the stuff is confirmed corrosive -- see here: https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=252885
Number 10 and 11 caps are getting scarce. Better get a good stash
What would you stock up on? Which size or both?
So the solution is to just break it down and clean it? How far? Slide out and part, or pulling pins, slide stop, trigger group with connectors too?? Or clean the slide and neutralize slide stop and trigger group with something?
I got to clean my 1858's totally and was hoping to start shooting 45colt for cleaner shooting but can't find and LPP's to load them. I don't even have empties to deprime and fix.
H48 is said to be corrosive also, but easier to make.

This one is non-corrosive, but finding the supplies looks very difficult. He said you needed to make one of the compounds.

What are you shooting?
Was in a pawn shop today, said they'd sell you all the primers you want. $300/1000
At $200 per 1000, I may just be ready to sell some SPP.
Anyone use Accurate 2200? I may have a few extra 8 lbs. containers I picked up when I couldn't find 2230.
