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.

I believe that they come from the US to us, I doubt China.

I have used the Tula brand LR primers with no problem. In fact I still have 5 or 6 hundred left.
