$35 for regular, 45 for match.

After the Sandy Hook I was buying overstock for $25. I suspect we will see the same happen again in a few years.

 

[WillametteWill]

$53 for Rem STS 209's back when Winchesters were $35. Just like them.

Now that the Remington ammo plant is up and running, hopefully that will relieve some pressure on the supply chain.

I just ordered 5k CCI #400 srp from Brownells.com today. $253 after shipping and hazmat. Sold out in 1 minute. Went back for a second case and they were gone. Have paid as much as $125 for primers when in need, but have sold for $100-150 when I had primers to spare.
Have Traded 4lbs of Ramshot Zip pistol for 1k.

I'm such a cheap m'fer, if it was more than $28, I wouldn't buy.

 

[American123]

Sub $40 for sure

I just sold 600 for $30 bucks and I felt bad about that. You can't give them away in this environment as you can give anything away for free, thus the conflict. However, I will likely pay it forward.

Just before the Covid virus thing hit, I was clearing out some excess reloading stuff. You have to remember that insurance companies and the fire marshal have established acceptable limits for these things. I had scads of primers and figured I'd never use them all, so I was selling them for $25 per K. And having a hard time of it in some cases, for a while. Then the famine hit. After while, I did a recount and discovered that I had sold too many small pistol primers. To recoup those, I paid a guy on this forum $90 per K for 2K. It wasn't only a mis-count, in the meantime I'd bought 1K 9mm bullets at a screaming deal (bird dogged by another fine member of this forum). But I later sold all my .45 bullets and some .30 bullets and wound up with too many LP and LR, which I sold several thousand of at $75 per K. So it kinda worked out. I still have some surplus primers but I'm holding onto those for the time being.

Nah, you just happen to be smart. Stocked up long ago!

My dad taught me:
1. Buy early.
2. Buy often.
3. Buy on sale.
4. Store properly.

I want to say $35 but I might have gotten them for a couple dollars less. Only been loading a couple years so never had the chance at much lower

$35 at Sportsman's a month or 2 ago. Winchester Large Pistol.

 

[AllDayRay]

$34.99 @ Cabelas in Anchorage a couple years ago. Don't even remember why I bought them from a retail store.

In 1994 I paid $15.65 for a box of 1,000 and sold it at the gun show last weekend for $150.00. I took the price tag off first!
