Cholla Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I am a member of this board and I was happy to see that primers were showing up in local gun shops. Some are starting to sell them by the 500 instead. But, one person did say that his local gun shop has CCIs in stock at $54 per brick. Things are improving! https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/primers.313568/?utm_campaign=ed1369&utm_content=iss1358&utm_source=threadloom&utm_medium=email Edited October 17, 2022 by Cholla 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Dead Ed Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It’s called “shrinkflation”. The amount shrinks, but the price was as it was before. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember a 12 oz coke. But I remember the small 6 oz bottled Coke for 5 cents. Later the same size bottle became 8 oz (thinner glass) but the price was way higher by then.

I guess that depends on the primer. I was told that many long-range shooters prefer the BR-2 primers, so I bought a brick back when they were still normal. They go boom when I pull the trigger. Remington and Winchester also have a poor reputation on some forums, yet they can't quantify why. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like CCI’s. If my guns run them my guns are running right. Also, seat them hard >.005” below flush and they’ll fire every time. Unless the hammer / main spring is weak. There’s a shop near me that has 1000 ea. bricks of primers for $120. They have the same stock that they had 2 months ago. I asked if they considered lowering the price. I was told “The price will stay until they’re sold.” I laughed and walked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bill Burt Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I just bought 5,000 Federal Small Pistol for $464.15 shipped, which seemed decent for today. I would have bought 15,000, but 5,000 was all they had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some folks who had some light strikes in their rifles but they are really fast with very light springs. My guns are all tuned but set off the CCI small pistol primers fine. I did screw my '73 strain screw in 1/4 turn for some extra confidence. I shot 1K of them with no problem and have 4K left but set them aside when I got more Federals.

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I keep about 500 CCI around for “proof testing”. If I do anything that affects hammer speed or striking force on my guns I will take them to the range and run 30-40 rounds. If those go bang I use my federals in matches and no need to worry about primers not going off. Regards Gateway Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings up a good point. With one exception, those colas and stuff are all Johnny come lately types in the soda pop department. Dr. Pepper is quite venerable, getting its start in 1885. Moxie dates back 1884. Hire's Root Beer, the original root beer that is sadly hard to find goes all the way back to 1876. And the Granddaddy of them all is Vernors Ginger Ale which harkens from 1866! So which one should we consider to be the SASS Official Soda? I like 'em all, but being from New England, I of course have a soft spot for Moxie. Edited October 17, 2022 by H. K.

Dantankerous Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 A guy with whom I once worked stopped smoking when cigarettes reached $1 a pack. What are they now? Over $11 a pack in some areas? Primers... that's the advantage of shooting guns that aren't extra superduper slicked up. My Rugers set off anything. CCIs are fine with me. Now, where's the Trailboss? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We are unlikely to find $150 sleeves (5K) of primers in the future. I bought when I could at around $100/1K and was glad to get them. I recently bought 4K Federal SPP for $59/1K. I should have bought 8K, but didn't want to take them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
