Title: Primer Availability Looking UP
Post by: alfsauve on January 30, 2023, 11:03:32 AM
I've horded my primers.  My FEDERAL primers, which are needed, NEEDED, for my revolvers.   I'm down to less than 1,000 this week.

Two days ago, AmmoSeek tells me Brownells has Fed 100, Small Pistol Primers available for $0.10ea.  Now there have been magnum version available off and on.  And of course there've been a number of "dubious" companies making offers, but this is the first in a while of an old established retailer having them.

More than 48 hours later they're still available.  Granted it is a 2k limit per order and with shipping and hazmat it's close to 10.5 but still they're even sent out another email flyer listing them as available today.

While the price will never be back down to 3.5ea at least it seems we're turning the corner on availability.
