Insert title here:
This. I grabbed some Tuesday from Hyatt’s. Federal spp and lpp available 2x 100 sleeve limit at $7 each. They didn’t have any rifle primers tho.
There's one lying on my garage floor somewhere. I was hand priming 9mm cases earlier today and this one was pushed in upside down. I clamped the case in the bench vise and punched it out. I was anticipating a bang but it didn't go off.
I had a big fat primer order I was about to place when a Sig 226 showed up at a steal earlier this year.
Guess who has two thumbs, a P226, and regrets.

Just kidding. The 226 is awesome.
I bought the same, along with three others who were waiting at the counter for the staff to get back from lunch.

Today,, at a small shop,, I saw some Large Rifle, some 209, and some Large Pistol primers for sale. The rifle & pistol primers were $37 a brick of 1000. I only needed the WLP ones. Limit to one brick a customer.
Thats really not too bad in today’s world. Selling on Gunbroker every day got $150/k.
.10 for primer
.10 for bullet
.02 for brass
.02 for powder
.24 per round = $12.00 per box compared to $30-35/box got 9mm sounds like a bargain.

Luckily im still loading for $11 per hundred. Since i stocked up
I’m actually loading cheaper than that but there will be a day that the cheap components are gone.
I'm certain that in our new progressive democratic socialist world you can understand the concept of " from those that have , to those in need? " I'll be right over.
Socialists can go sit on snakes.
I will be glad to give you a few if you really need a few. The primers I would give you if you show me a socialists party membership card are the ones that have already been fired. I have lots of those.

Casting bullets is the only thing that I can account for as the reason I have a pile of primers.
Over the last 4-5 years I have shot fewer and fewer jacketed bullets in all of my guns.
Honchoing bullet molds on the Castboolits forums keeps me casting, shooting and testing year round to get better technique and getting the dimensions just right with the designer.
So the most that I bought over the last few years was powder and primers. As I got better in my reloading technique I realized cast lead powders and jacketed powders differ somewhat and it left me with a lot of popular jacketed powders and a PILE of primers.
Start casting. You will thank me later.

Anyone seen any spp bricks in a retail store in the triangle area? I’m at work when the big box stores open up every morning. Had my brother in law try sportsman’s warehouse in Greensboro a couple times...no luck.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how will casting bullets help someone find primers? and I also don't understand what you mean by cast powders and jacketed powders. I use the same powder if I'm using lead, coated lead, plated or jacketed bullets. Powder is decided depending on caliber and velocity desired not by the bullet material
Not help you find primers. It will limit the number of components you buy to reload with. So if your total expenditure to shoot doesn’t change and you’re only buying powder and primers. Most likely you won’t have to “find” primers. Can’t fix today. But might help tomorrow’s.
Some powders works equally well in both but in my opinion some don’t. I found 2400 a better powder with jacketed bullets and don’t really care for them in cast. Preferring H110, 300MP and AA9 behind full power cast loads. Same as I prefer HS 6 over unique in cast. Most powders work. Some just work better. So it left a lot of good powders on the shelf as I looked to squeeze out the best performance out of cast.
Thas some common core math if i’ve ever seen it.
I use web trackers. Gotta be ready to buy within 30 seconds
Thank you for your kind offer @Charlie , but I am neither a socialist or low on primers. I've got a few miles on my odometer and have learned from the past. And being honest I think that quote is more in line with communism. Ain't wanna them either.
I'm down to no primers, 33×38sp, 6×357, 10×360DW, and a couple mags of 38 super comp. Working all the time i hadn't been loading for awhile because I rarely had time. I've got plenty of powder and cases plus hundreds of pounds of processed wheel weights and 50/50 alloy. Not a single primer left.

I met someone yesterday that said they had just bought 2000 primers on gun broker for $500. They are new to shooting and reloading. My heart about stopped when I heard that. I have plenty of small rifle primers I think about 5000. But running low on small pistol. I wish people would stop hoarding them
