Fueling the shortage

This to me just fuels the shortage longer. When people pay these kind of prices for primers it just keeps the prices high. I think this is insane.

I agree Al. Buying hundreds, or thousands more than you can reasonably use in a year is simply hoarding. Get real people! We can do this, together.

Brownells has CCI Pistol primers

Small Pistol .... $74.99 per thousand
Small Pistol Mag .... $74.99 per thousand

Large Pistol .... $74.99 per thousand
Large Pistol Mag .... $79.99 per thousand

by today's standards, that ain't too bad

Yep there is some crazy sellers out there! Looks like Brownells out of stock now. When you see them you have to get what you need quick!

Going to the Shooting store and going to the Harley Davidson store have a lot in common anymore. HD stands for Hundred Dollar doesnt it? Hard to go to the Harley store and not spend that much on accessories.

That's great. Maybe, just maybe I've heard wrong and they're going to be easier to get. Still twice the price they were at the LGS back before the shortage. I could buy a brick of any size for around $35 w/ tax.

Jake, spring of '20 I picked up a few for $33 + tax, last summer I bought 3k at $40 +.
Should've bought more each time.

Hoping we can get a steady supply again.
I'm not hurting at the moment.
Good luck in your searches.

Im not hurting, I just hate being conservative (in my reloading, not my politics).

[BrokenolMarine]

I'm chompin at the bit to build my range...
... These threads make me wonder why. Sigh.
I have ammo. Will my kids when they inherit the farm?

[Vaquero]

I sure hope they do marine.
Surely/Hopefully this will pass as in the previous situations.
But as Al is sayin, people paying these ridiculous prices aren't helping the price situation.

Couple of months ago one LGS had CCI Lg Pistol for $3.49 per hundred with a two hundred limit. My wife and I each bought 200 and I had hoped that the price would return to normal but after seeing the posted prices above I guess not. This store has not had anymore in stock that I have seen since.

[RanchRoper]

I still see lots up here.

Rub it in RR, Rub it in

It kind of gets very depressing when it doesnt matter what you are shooting or doing for recreation it seems like its a total fight to do it. Airguns went from no pellets to no guns. Last I checked it was still a fight to get pellets. Smokeless no 22 LR unless you pay a .25 a round. No primers for centerfire and limited powder supplies. Shotgun shells are hard to find to shoot trap. For a while clay pidgeons were sold out. Caps and now powder for black powder are gone. On a happy note I went to Sams today to get some paper towels and toilet paper and they had some. Limit one per customer.

Building Back Better . . . . . NOT

I was in Cabela’s in Post Falls Idaho yesterday and was surprised to see a full shelf of Pyrodex, some smokeless Hodgdon handgun powders and I was particularly suprised to see CCI Mini-Mag SP’s in the 100 pack. At $10.99 per hundred I passed as I’m good for now and did buy some recently for $7.99. Probably should have grabbed a few. I bought some shoes that I’m planning on returning so I may grab some when I do that.
