Primers here! Getcher primers!

[arakboss]

I think primer purchasing fatigue is setting in. If you search for "primers" in the reloading classifieds, there are pages upon pages of active ads that will come up. It appears they are still selling for somewhere under $100 a brick but many priced above $100 have neen sitting for days and weeks. Maybe by Summer the secondary market and the retail market prices will be matched up.

Now if powder would become more widely available in retail stores, things will be good again.

Probably a good assessment.

Maybe 'blind' purchasing for 100 or so per/K has finally opened the eyes of some and they are now asking themselves 'why'.

I can understand it in very limited quantities to a degree if one REALLY needed them but man that could add up fast if one were buying to 'stock up' !

I think some have realized how much powder they will need to load up their cartridges as well, especially large rifle cartridges.

Maybe supply has caught up with demand. Or at least the demand at said price.

A guy on another forum I belong to, complained today that he had to pay $10.00 for 100 primers, I replied that he has been lucky to find them and that here—that is a starting point for primers and the prices go up from there...
