Hopefully it won't be much longer and primers will be readily available again for reasonable prices.

Someone on cgn is "asking" $2.67 each for Federal 215m primers ($800 for 300 primers).

3 sleeves (300 primers) $800 plus shipping.
That really beats the he11 out of what I tried about a month and a half ago. I asked $.75 each for the same thing and I got hate mail and threats.

Sellers set their asking price but without buyers there is no market, right now buyers are driving the price up because they are either desperate or ?????????

Some may be in a financial pickle. Others may be trying to make a buck.

Regardless, I sure as heck am thankful for the stellar dudes who stepped up and sold me primers at what they paid.

I guess what I would say is that this is a forum, and a community of friends at the same time. It is whatever you make of it. If you have put in the goodwill to develop friendships, and try to be a good guy, AO is a pretty great place when you need a helping hand.

Federal Premium 210 large rifle primers were in stock today at a shop out east, limit 5.

I had them in my cart, got to check out, had to go find my wallet to get the 3 digit number on the back... wife started talking to me... and in that 5 minutes they were gone...

I'm going to have to tattoo that number on the back of my hand I guess and do a better job ignoring my wife...

But they are coming around... We'll see some stock come in soon...

Doubt. The guy at the local store kept saying he is to have stock early this year. That was up until November (if not early December). Since then all I hear is he has no idea when we will see anything. A couple of other store owners I asked about primers said that they are not able to place orders for 2023. So I would not be so sure about “soon”. Who knows.

Can’t find the thread (I think there was one?) for a “pretend-to-be-a-shop” primersshop. Another pretend one is canadaammoshop, also “pretends” to have some primers in stock. It ain’t real. Not hard to spot, but thought I’d give a heads up.

I just reloaded up with 85 CCI200 primers on the weekend for plinking rounds.

I feel bad now for wasting so much money. I feel like I was robbed of $1k for using them primers. Robbed I say!

What price do you think the ammo Mfgr's are factoring in for the primers, powder and bullets and brass they are using ? Sure isn't the old one. It must be a new retail pricing by the looks Ammo pricing these days.

My son talked to a Firearm Import export dealer,sounds like Primers will slowly start arriving on certain local shelves early this summer according to him.My son purchased a couple thousand for under $320.Shop around and search all retaileers before paying the $50-$80 per 100 pc for primers.there is primers around just have to invest the time to find them.

In any venue in life, desperate people make desperate moves. Unless your really really stuck never do anything in desperation.

95 percent chance something will be wrong in your decision, back off till things level out .This isn't a life and death matter ,leave the gougers be and remember them well ,not just online but in any other thing in life .

People that gouge others never make it in life, maybe a few more bucks, but there flat arrs broke in integrity. Meaning there worthless to them selves and they don't know it. So don't deal with low life's like this period.

Being good and fair trump's it all in every aspect of life ,a guy needs to be solid inside .That's all a man has is his integrity.
