Chert Rock Chuck Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Limit is 10!!!! Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woohoo! x 1000 I figure about 500 bucks for 5000 (5 bricks) + HAZMAT+ shipping. That would be 10 cents a primer. Dang! This is 50 dollars a brick higher than I paid in the past. I would avoid paying HAZMAT for less than 5000 primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im certain however, that I’m not the only one happy to see them available again, and with more than a 1-2 brick limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm not the only one" asking himself "how much is too much?". I do shoot fewer matches. As an older shooter I might just hang it up, if I run out, and I wonder if that might become a trend in SASS, aside from simply aging out. I will wait and see what happens to price and availability and will not jump on the first primer stock I see, ignoring the price concern. A little quick math gives me $50 a match plus brass attrition for matches within an hour's drive. Something to think about and cause to review the budget.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I don't want to and thankfully don't have to pay 10 cents per primer. But if you have everything else needed that would be 6-7 cents additional cost per round compared to before the shortage. That's 6-7 dollars more per 100 rounds.

Captain Bill Burt Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Brownells has Federal LPP with a quantity limit of 2,000. Sorry, that fast and they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle-Nose-Tom Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thank you for your post, I was in need. While I do understand the cost being higher for me it just is what it is. For a man with just this one new hobby it's worth the fun. I have other friends with much more expensive habits and hobbies. I really hate to think it would stop folks altogether but everyone has their own budget for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Natchez no longer shows the primers mentioned in the OP as available. However, they now show Federal Gold Medal Centerfire Large Magnum Pistol Match Primer 1000/ct for $97.99 as available limited to 10 items. If you have $1,000 laying around you can place a maximum order. (Fortunately I don't need to.) I suspect anyone placing such an order would limit their practice sessions to dry firing.
