It's been 2 years since I've been able to buy large rifle primers.

It is when you add their $47 hazmat fee!

I'm not desperate and can wait until they become regularly stocked locally again. I'm sure we'll be paying $80-$100 per brick for quite some time though.

Yeah it's too bad that these companies were not even considering new plants when the SHTF started. I guess there was just too much money to be lost during this time of nonsense.

Didn't help that Remington went TU because it was run by complete morons at the time.

Fixed it for you.

Yeah and it's too bad that we have people here still selling them for $125 per thousand, I will never pay that!!! EVER!!!

After the new Fiocchi plant gets built, primers will still probably cost $100 per thousand. If not more due to the construction time lag and inflation.

Didn't see the crazy hazmat fee! Wow that's a record.

Interesting. With Expansion (maybe), Aguila, and First Breach getting into primer production there might really be light at the end of the tunnel.

I thought I remember that Sig was jumping on the bandwagon?

Thumbs Up.

Secretary of Commerce Mike Preston said Fiocchi looked at five locations in three states before selecting the Port of Little Rock and said the state's pro-firearm industry culture played a role in the company's selection of Arkansas to continue expanding.

They are, but just for their own ammunition. They won't be selling them as components to other ammo manufacturers or individuals.
