FINALLY - PRIMERS!

Post by Gun Smith »

Went with my wife to Bi-Mart here in town. They finally got their primers in. 9 months out! They are priced about $3.50-4.00 a box. Their sign says due to the large demand you can only by a maximum of 4,000 from them. Per trip, per day, per person ???

You know I think you may be right. 4000 didn't sound right. Oh well, I'm still OK. I have been quite ill and haven't been reloading since last summer. I had a small stash before then and I should be able to reload a few hundred rounds before I run out. Thanks for the correction.

The gun shows have plenty now. Went to Albany a week ago, and all the primers were in stock at around $35 per thousand.

My local Bi-Mart had a ton of Alliant powders, on the shelf today......all flavors. No other brands and no primers.

That's interesting but I have to ask, How is your stock around where you live in Central Illinois?

Show this past weekend had primers priced at $40 per K, no exceptions I could find. They were mostly Winchester brand, though I saw a few CCI and some off brand I've never seen before in a white box.

I sure hope that $40 isn't the 'new normal' price.

I just bought some two weeks ago for 34 per 1k. Powder was 19 and they had every kind under the sun stocked (Bass Pro, I've never heard of Bi-mart).
I think they are just taking advantage of the demand to make an extra $6 on you guys.
