Large Rifle Primers
Large Rifle Primers
I just got an email from Powder Valley which stated they have large rifle primers in stock.
The email was sent a short time ago.
I didn't check price or availability but I thought someone in the forum might want to look into it.

Wow.
Well, I said I didn't check price. Even if I had the need, my pockets aren't that deep.

Re: Large Rifle Primers
The last time I saw any large rifle primers for sale was last September when we were in Paducah, KY.
Shooter's Supply had Remington 9 1/2 primers for $100/1000. I hated to pay that much but I was running pretty low on them.
I only use them for .45-70 and .243 Win.

$100 plus tax isn't too bad, butSteve51 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 10:19 amThe last time I saw any large rifle primers for sale was last September when we were in Paducah, KY.

at $114.99 + tax, + shipping and + hazmat. I'm OUT.
That said I did as you, and bought a 1000 for one Benjamin + tax back in Nov.
Even though I still had 3000+ that I bought several yrs. ago @ $40 a 1000.

Re: Large Rifle Primers
I am also starting to see some smokeless powders going for $60 - $70 per pound.

Re: Large Rifle Primers
The trouble is that if you are low or out, you may have no choice but to pay the ransom.
That is why I tend to stock up on things I know I may need when those things are available.
Ammo, spare parts, magazines, gun cleaning supplies and so on. I just placed an order for a three pack of Ruger 10/22 magazines because I had a coupon which made the price attractive.
If folks don't prepare now, they may do without later. And some of us, at least not me, can't provide for two or more households.
Don't think "If things get tough, I'll go to HenryFan's house. He has extra". I don't tell people I have extra and if they should bring up the subject, I will tell them "Don't come to my house. Start preparing now."

Re: Large Rifle Primers
Down here in Texas USA at the local gun shops I have seen all kinds of primers except 209 primers and the mag LR. But powder is at least 50.00 per pound and in some cases more. The only powder I have seen that is less is the line of AA powders and they seem to hover around the 40.00 mark. But in most cases you need to use more of their powder to achieve certain loads. At the gun club where I shoot 8lb kegs of powder are 340.00. I did buy a 8lb keg of Unique last summer. They have another one and I am tempted to buy it.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Large Rifle Primers
When I can get them standard LR are $90 per 1000. Of course Magnum, Match and Bench Rest are higher. Right now nothing available local. So at the mercy of the online scalpers if I were to go that route.
