Primers at H&H

[crapsguy]

I was at H&H yesterday and they had a few thousand primers on display.

SPP $11.00 and change per hundred. I didn’t ask about limits for purchase.

just got an email from Sportsman Outdoors -- said they have SPP for only $129/k hopefully no one is desperate enough to buy them

I had some empty boxes with $1.78 per 100 on them. That said, I should have bought more of the $25.00 per 1k when I last saw them. I knew better.

I envy you guys. I am late to the party and just getting started loading. I don't really have a choice but to pay H&H's exorbitant price.
Everyone told me last year, just hold off and let this all die down and primers and powder will be lining the shelf at discounted prices.

Back in the late 70’s early 80’s, we’d figure a penny to a penny and half for primers in our loading costs.

Jerry’s in Ardmore had some large pistol the other day. But you had to buy powder or bullets to be able to buy primers. So that kind of runs the price up a bit.

Yep. I just calculated a penny for primer cost. And we bought the specific primers called out in the manuals and had several types of a given size on hand at any given time because you could find any brand. Also seemed it was that way for years. I miss those days! If we ever get back to having supply I'm backing up the truck on primers and buying a couple of kegs of powder. Yea, we used to could buy powder that way too.

Jerry has kept a pretty good supply in stock through all of this that way. Keeps the resellers from wiping him out and keep his usuals shooting.
