Glad to see it if it really pans out, especially if the quality is there and it's closer to pre pandemic pricing. This crap some people are doing is ridiculous. I'm all for making a profit but $500 to $1000 for a brick of primers, well you guys know.

I hope they kick some booty and steal away a big chunk of the market share. It would serve the others right for throwing us under the bus.

I went into a local gun shop Monday and was astounded. $99.97 for a box of primers. Damn glad I don't need any.

I just bought a carton (which is 1000 primers) of CCI 450's for $75 at a retail store.

Prices will take a couple years+ to settle back down a bit whether by the 100 sleeve, 1000 carton or 5000 case.

Yes, that's plenty of dough but way less than the damn scalpers are charging.

Whatever "settles back down" in a couple years+ will be negated by inflation.

Let us all pray for a "settling down" period, + inflation is going to hit us whether there are primers available or not.

Ya, maybe the "settle back down" IS wishful thinking on my part and the retailer that I use the most.

If I have to pay $75 per carton, going forward, I'd rather pay that than not find the damn things.

This $125 - $500 per carton is just scalping bull shit and make me mad.

Primers have been a bad JOKE at our expense!

This primer shortage thing is getting me concerned. I've almost totally used up my supply from the 1960's and am now digging into my reserves from the 1970's. However, I won't panic until I start to deplete my 1980s supply and will freak out when I get to the 1990's. God forbid if I get to the 21st Century stuff before the supply chain normalizes!

But what about powder? My supply of WW-II 4831 is getting critically low!

I guess if one doesn't shoot much one could have primers from decades ago.

In the last 50 years I burnt through well over 100,000 maybe close to 200,000.

If you planned that far ahead more power to you.

Well, I'm still in pretty good shape as over the years I bought up components; not hoarding but just needing products for my "hobby".As to what the prices of the future hold; just like I told a customer the other day about why I have to charge more for my finished metal products is that the base materials have gone up. He asked if they were going to go back down + I replied, "sure, just like taxes will."
