Nice to see some available but ohhhhhh those prices make my eyes hurt.

Glad I have enough to not need to order online.
Plus the fact that I've picked up 3k pistol primers here in the past month or so, and
all were $100 per K, or less.

The price is way too steep. Brownells can keep them. Thanks for posting it though JEBar.

I'm betting primers will hit $200 per 1,000 before the price begins to decline. I'll wait until the 8.7% increase in Social Security retirement benefits goes into effect in 2023 before I get back into the primer market.

... they are either not here or very expensive.
'Not here' in my general area means none of the 'standard' primers are around and hence being forced to buy the 'very expensive' magnum, match and or benchrest versions (if one can even find those, which I have had some luck).
Right now standard CCI are advertised at about $5 per 100. Magnums run 10% more. Match and Benchrest run double.

Federal start at $5.20 per 100. Federal GoldMetal add $2.00. Remington similar.

I have no experience with Aquila primers, but if that is all I could get, given the way things are now I would buy them,

Thank for posting

I looked at Brownells. They only had in stock the very expensive CCI Benchrest. Not for me either.
