Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

That second link is up to nearly 33¢ per WSP primer after 22 bids and the auction still has four+ days to go. Insane is right!

I don't get it. Why bother to reload? This is getting up in the area of factory load ammo that is available today. This makes no sense to me. :o :shock:

The hardware store said that most of the primers we get here come from China? I have no idea, but I'll put a mask on the muzzle end just in case :)

I don't think we'll find any primers in the USA that are made in China. Certainly not any of the common brands like CCI, Winchester, Federal, Remington. There may be some from Russia according to this article.
By bryanrpowdervalleyinc-com wrote:In the U.S., only four companies (Winchester, Remington, Federal, and CCI) manufacture primers for civilian use, law enforcement, and the military.
