Are people really paying more than $150 for 1000 small rifle primers on this forum classifieds?
I've been wondering the same after seeing the outrageous prices in our classifieds
Wow... I sure won't. I've got some SRPs from earlier in the year, I wish I had bought more LRPs. I'm not going to freak out and over pay. Either prices are going to come down or I will just load out what I have and never shoot it recreationally again. I haven't really shot much other than 22 since this whole nonsense began. Heck, I've got a new Geissele Super Duty pistol upper that I haven't shot once yet...
I was fortunate enough to find SPP, LPP, and LRP a while back.
Paid $34/1000 for the SPP and $50/1000 for the others.
I won't pay the price gouging that's going on, from anyone.
A good friend has been trying to trade primers with me.
He bought a bunch of small pistol (magnum) cci primers, and wants 'standard' SPP.
He's using this as his reasoning - "Well, you have some, and I don't. I don't need the magnum primers, and I do need the standard. C'mon, man."
I just laugh. I don't 'need' the magnum primers, either.
I do have enough 'stuff' to get me through this "SHTF" time.

Mag primers will work fine, maybe lighten the powder charge a hair.
I chronographed a bunch of 10mm, and 45acp and about 20 fps difference at most. Rifle rounds tiny bit higher, but flattened the primer just about 50 fps faster than 6.5 CM 123 grain rounds with magnum primers. 2975 ish fps. Both rifle and pistol CCI.
