Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I had the opportunity to buy some Federal large rifle magnum primers the other day for a cost to me of $145 per 1000. Which I would resell to shooters at that price. My question is- is that a price you would pay? I don’t use these so I don’t know if that’s a fair price or not-these days! I’ve looked some and have never seen them for less. Doesn’t mean it’s a price anyone would pay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Angus McPherson Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 That'd be a hard NO from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 Never mind. I just found them again and it was a trick! Showed a picture of a box of 1000 when they were actually only offering 500! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) For some reason, large rifle primers of any manufacture are hard to get right now. I've seen (and heard) of $165 - $200 per M as of recent. Back when small pistol/rifle were hard to get , large rifle primers were everywhere and just as pricey as small. Now they seem to be unobtainium. Edited January 30 by Cypress Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Your best bet to reasonably get LRP is trade. It was easy for me to trade a couple of thousand Fed SPP for the same number of LRP. Many more people are searching for the SPP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowstone Vic SASS#32968 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Beginning of January, I was able to buy 1000 Federal Large Rifle Primers from Cabelas and do a ship to store for free shipping, no hazmat ($105 + tax) Those are the first large rifle primers I had the opportunity to purchase in close to a year at an acceptable price. Don’t know what’s up with large rifle, but they are like unicorn hunting. To answer your question, No I would not do that. YMMV.

I have plenty of Federal spp from years ago. Needed LRP. So essentially traded for the LRP at pre covid prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Cabelas now lists Large Rifle Magnum primers for $100/1,000 with free shipping to a local store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
