Shakes Peare 35 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 In my goal to be a self sufficient shooter, I am attempting to load my own cartridges. Hard to do with the current state of things... To that end, I find myself in possession of seven boxes of factory. 380 range ammo. Any one willing to trade the elusive primers for said ammunition, send me a PM. I am aware I can pedal my wares ( buying and selling) on Gun broker and such. I would much rather come to an agreement here if there is interest and mutual needs met, rather than feeding the Beast. Thank you for your consideration, Shakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flat Top Okie 114 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Hi Shakes Peare What would you consider a fair trade in primers for the ammo. Flat Top Okie PS: You can PM me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakes Peare 35 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Greetings Flat Top Okie, Fair is kinda out of whack right now. Old primer prices appear to have hovered around $50/1000 and a box of 50 shells for .380 around $20-25. of course, I can't find any small pistol (or ANY primers for that matter) I decided to reload way too late to have made friends in those circles to help. Before joining SASS, I shot cheaply with mostly 9mm and some .380. I do have 3 boxes of S&B FMJ 92g 50 rds and 4 boxes of Blazer Aluminum 95g FMJ 50 rnds left over from my PPKs that I no longer need. Online the going rate is $45/box for the .380, meanwhile the good citizens at gunbroker are selling 1000 small primers between 200-300. Fair seems to be 1000 primers for 7 boxes. That being said, my goal is to learn to load my own rounds, and I am the one asking for something, if you have less to trade and need to ammo, I would work with you.

Shakes Peare 35 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 As an aside, it was brought to my attention that shipping primers requires additional steps that the average citizen is not set up to do. I have not researched it enough to understand the end to end of it, but want to be clear. While there may be a solution, I am not wanting, asking or encouraging anyone in this venue to break, skirt or sidestep the laws of the land. Please. Thank you, Shakes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, Shakes Right you are , about shipping primers. Swapping for primers will just about have to be face-to-face. Good luck with your quest , Rex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flat Top Okie 114 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Hello Shakes Peare, Your trade price seems fair but there is the difficulty of shipping. If you know of anyone coming to Land Run, The Southwest Regional Championship in OKC next month, I would do a face to face trade at your terms. Flat Top Okie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flat Top Okie I appreciate it, I doubt it is in the cards this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
