Primer Price & Availability

Biggfoot44 · May 22, 2021

Today's observations showed what is hopefully the beginning of the trend .

Availability was greater than zero .
Prices 2/3 of peak ( , but still above my personal threshold ) .

Fed arm has them for $2000 for 5000

I've noticed Remington has stepped up their game and started selling primers again.

I also see imported primers making a bit of a comeback but still at high prices. Primer drops with a "reasonable" mark-up from online retailers are still selling out within minutes, even with 1k limits.

I did hear from a friend that they were able to score primers 2 weeks ago at bass pro but I wouldn't get your hopes up for brick and mortar. I was there today, and the reloading section was dry.

Two thousand or two hundred!? If two thousand, that's insane. That's 40 cents a primer.

I paid 8.5 cents for small rifle about a month ago including shipping. Sucks but way better than what I see on GunBroker.

Seems like every time an online retailer has a primer drop the website goes down and they are sold out instantly.

I've been watching primer prices on Gunbroker. 3 months ago 5000 SPP always sold for $1000+. Now I'm seeing the same primers sell for $750 to $800. Progress perhaps?

Cabelas Had CCI Large Rifle BR2 Primers 10.99 per hundred limit 1K per person as of yesterday around 1400. They had about 10k

Paul Ward · Jun 13, 2021

I have seen them popping up locally at small shops for $9.00 per 100 LRP's with SRP the same.

Kirkster · Jun 13, 2021

90 bucks a K is still steep, but if you are just loading up for your deer rifle 9 bucks seems ok…. Or if you are desperate….

You have to remember if they are Benchrest primers they were always more expensive by about double a normal primer. The extra .9cents is not really $$$$ in the scheme of things when your paying a 1.00 for brass and 60cents a bullet its still the cheapest component.

Yeah, usually are 50-100% more expensive. So $90/1k isn’t that bad at all considering the general hike in prices. That would correspond to probably about $50-60/1k for normal primers.

Thanks, was able to score some BR-2's.. been looking for eons. They didn't have much left around lunchtime, a couple bricks of CCI 200/250's I think. Guy at checkout said he has had a steady flow all morning across the counter.

BigRick · Jun 23, 2021

Yup I scored some today at basspro. Br2's 10.99 a pack. It is what it is.

Heck even if they ran dry in a day, that’s a lot better than gone in an hour. Maybe just a few more months I can reliably find something approximating what I need if I need something (even if not the brand or exact make I want, but I can find SR primers, say, even if it isn’t #41 CCI).

Don't jinx it, but I'm hoping the same. Seems like ammo is trending down, and folks aren't buying it at the 60cpr prices for 9mm anymore. So eventually it will come into components too
