LRPs and LRMPs Found Their Way Home

Post by Handloader » Sat May 04, 2024 5:48 pm

Reloading has been my crack for a long time LRPs and LRMPs are like hen's teeth, and they are getting more and more scarce. So, when I see them regardless of stock, I buy them. My supplier always sets 2K of each aside when he gets them in paid 90 bucks each with no HAZMAT charge.

Nice Score.
I saw some of the MLRP Fri. but I very seldom use those and have around 1100 on hand.
Now had i saw the reg. LRP's at $90 I'd of bought at least one maybe two of those.

I have a 45/70, 30/30 and generally use LRPs. My .500 S&W magnum loads use LRMPs when I use Hodgdon powders and LRP for other powders. Current stock for both the LRPs and LRMPs is over 5K for each. I was caught short once bur never again.

Luckily I haven't been caught short on primers so far.
I currently have between 4 & 5000 each of the 4 main ones I use, with a little over the 5 Mark on the SPP's at the moment. ;)

Yes, anything under $100/1000 is probably the new normal.

I made my usual gun shop run Fri., which was my first time this year. :o ;)
Two of which sell loading supplies had primers just no LRP, except the one with the MLRP.
At one place they were $119. per K and the other doesn't have their's marked and were busy so I didn't inquire.
But, I'm not in a great need at the moment anyway.
Local Academy has had mostly SPP and SRP when I've stopped in, they run $8.99 a hundred and they will only sell you 400 per day.
They were $7.99 just a couple mons. back.

A couple weeks ago my supplier (which is a longtime friend) emailed me that he just received some SPPs for $78.00 per 1K. I use them for my 99mm, and 40 S&W and I had him ship me 3K. At least they are easy to find unlike the LRPs/LRMPs.
