Small pistol primers are normally between $30-40 US around here, and are the hardest to find. I would expect rifle caliber primers to be more available, hence cheaper, but I don't keep up with rifle primer prices so I don't Know. $60/1000 is about double the normal going rate for SPP and is substantially less than most of the online prices I've seen. In any event, I was very happy to get them even at that rate.
When I was buying primers "off the shelf". I usually found *American primer prices to mostly be the same across the varieties (and brand for brand).......Sm Rilfe or Sm Rifle Mag or Sm Pistol or Sm Pistol Mag (and the same for the large primers). The price difference came......when buying "match grade or benchrest primers". And....of course the shotgun primers ran more too.
BTW......I didn't buy those "Military Spec" primers. Though now a days.....it's popular to spec certain primers for loading the .223 Rem. cartridge. Yes.....note that Remington Primers, are specific about that.
*It was only later, that brand vs brand prices became more noticeable. Brand loyalty probably had something to do with it. Whatever.
