My LGS has had Lpp, SPP, Sr, and Lr for over a month. Only problem is that it’s $100.99 per 1000. 

[Bo B. Fetterman]

none of the places around me have stock I just loaded up my last 300 primers. figured at 89.00 a brick that's about the best I could do right now.

Yes.  They have been in Phoenix for years.  I go there quite often as it is not far from my house.

[Garrison Joe, SASS #60708]

I've also bought in person from Bruno's several times.  Real shop.  Usually good supply of modern rifle and pistol components.

 

good luck, GJ

https://www.targetsportsusa.com/federal-small-pistol-magnum-primers-200-box-of-1000-200-p-112110.aspx have them for $88 a thousand and if you order 5,000 you get free shipping. Still have to pay a $30 hazmat fee but this is the cheapest price I have seen in a long time and I have ordered from them numerous times and they are legit.

Best prices going today, and I KNOW!!

I posted this on another thread.  These were the prices at last week's Phoenix gun show.  No hazmat, no shipping, no limit on how many you could buy.

88 per thousand with hazmat makes it 94 per thousand. Free shipping and hazmat from Bruno is 89 per thousand.

That doesn't do me any good in Pennsylvania... the last gun show here was 2 weeks ago. It costs $12 bucks to get in and all the primers were 100 per 1000

[Matthew Duncan]

I SAW CCI PRIMERS TODAY!  I thought they were extinct!  $125 per K, I didn’t buy any.

[Cypress Sun]

 

I was in a store this morning in Clearwater, Fl. They had CCI 209 shotgun primers @ $50 per 1,000 and CCI Lrg rifle primers for the same price/quantity. Didn't buy any as I don't use either.

Yeah, I've ordered from Brunos many times and have had no issues.  They may not have the cheapest price, but are always competitive with the going rates.  They also seem to have things available that others don't for us reloaders on a regular basis.  They do have their stock issues as well, but seem to do pretty good at getting things in and I like the way they update me of availability via e-mail.  They also often run "No Hazmat Fee" sales that can save money as well.  I'd recommend them to anyone and have done so many times.  Good luck and good shooting to all.    

[Pb Mark]

I'm going to post to SASS Wire this website one last time.  The stocking inventory of all primer types are updated daily, sometimes to the minute.  The website is used by other shooting sports and is very reliable.  Lots of primers out there too.  Always accurate information and surprised at this point that SASS folks don't save and use this available information.  

 

SHOOTINGBOT.COM

 

Go to the primer section, then pick the type you are interested in and see what is available, when the information was updated and prices.  Links also take you directly to the websites who have the primers etc.

Wow, great price right now.  I have been buying them a little cheaper than that at my Sportsman’s Warehouse but you can only buy 200 per day. Takes a lot of trips but it’s better than most online prices.  I there had been some at that price during EOT.

Don’t you hate quantity limits? I would have to make three trips a week. My completely unscientific estimate is that it costs me about $3 just to crank up the Camaro, so I’m probably better off paying shipping.

 

Thanks for the link @Texas Maverick I just bought 5,000 Federal SPP. they cost $10 more than Federal magnum SPP, but by today’s standards still a deal.

Just curious, why not buy the Magnums? That is my primer of choice.  Sportsman's is mostly on my way to church and lately I've been doing security there at least 3 days a week so I usually stop by on the way home. It also takes a lot less to start my old Chevy truck.

I’ve heard the magnums are harder. I’ve used them, and will again if needed, but I’ve been sticking to standard and match for a while now.

So far I’ve never had a problem with the magnum, I’ve been using them since 2017 at least, probably longer.

I ordered a case of the magnum LPP last week thanks to this post.  I got them today.

I use Federal SP magnums and I have not found them to be any harder than the standard.  The only reason I use the magnums is that if I happen to have a squib, the magnum primer will push the bullet out of the pistol barrel.  That's the only reason and it's maybe saved me twice in 15 years.  It's not worth paying any more for magnum primers but for the same price, why not?

I also received my case on Friday last week.

At this price I would change the hammer springs back and buy the Winnies.

I use both and haven't seen any difference in them except the mags seem a little hotter but nothing that is an issue.

I've never had an issue, but OTH, I know of other Cowboys who have reported the magnums are harder and the gunsmith who did a couple of rifles for me did testing that showed magnums are slightly harder.  As I said I've used them before and in a pinch would use them again.  Fortunately right now primers are relatively plentiful so I've stocked up on standards and match.

[Abilene, SASS # 27489]

Small rifle mag primers are definitely harder than small rifle. With pistol primers I've noticed no difference.

They are legit, I bought 10lbs of IMR 4064 powder from them awhile ago.

So how are the Unis/Ginex primers?

 

I wish I could find a couple thousand each LRP at a decent price.
