Once they start ticking down I'll probably start loading up on prime. The price is driven by supply and demand. Primer production is going to make commercial ammo leaving little to sell as components. How much does it cost to make a single primer ? The plastic tray and box probably are worth more than what it costs to make 100 primers. |

I dont know about "burst open" but targetsports still has some types in stock. Not good prices yet. They had win spp and a week ago for $83/1000 that lasted a week before sold out. And the reloading discord reports primers in stock quite often.

We have Ammo Inc. ,AAC, Expansion,Grind Hard and First Breach all coming on board producing primers either for their own ammo or to sell to the public in the near future.For all you older reloaders,has there ever been US made primers available for purchase that weren’t one of the Vista,Olin or Remington brands?

I have a few packs of Herters primers. They are so old, the little boxes are made of wood. I’m guessing they are from the 60’s. I don’t know who the actual maker was, doubt that Herter made them themselves. |

Yep, though we'll see how Expansion works out - if it ever works out. Regardless, there's been a decent amount of expansion activity, combined with a pretty hard drop-off in consumption. Right now 10 cent primers are mostly just sitting (at last), but as soon as someone has and sells primers for 8 cents, someone still insta-buys. But even that part of the market is starting to slow down. The sooner folks stop insta-buying at 8 cents, the sooner we'll see 6 cents. |

Don’t forget the effects of the elections on Tuesday:
Heavy R win= pressure is off, people quit worrying about guns and ammo, etc. A serious D win=gun control full time, all the time! Everything about supply and demand of ammo in the US is politically related to one degree or another. |

One thing I've noticed is that the bottom has fallen out of the market already on reloading bullets - at least at some venues. This is relevant to this threads note that primers ARE going to fall in price and become more available in the next.. 12 months or so, quite possibly sooner; and one might be interested in the bullet pricing patterns in relation to anticipated primer pricing pattern. Relevancy to the thread being more on pricing pattern behavior, vs basic Where Do I Find.
In particular, at one common low-cost provider of pulls and seconds, you can get FMJ 9mm bullets for a touch over 4 cents delivered right now, and good quality ones for not a lot more. I've never seen them this low. Likely because SPP are no longer cost effective and individual stocks are getting run down. I've learned the hard way one goes through SPP like water, compared to SRP's. So the market isn't really sucking up bulk FMJ level reloading pistol bullets that much right now. Reality being that current mainstream 10 cent primers vs 28 cent loaded ammo, makes reloading ball just not worth it if buying at today's primer prices. However, If primers do fall to 6 or even 5 cents over the next year (which they will) combined with inflation, those bullets and demand are going to go up. Point being, now's not a bad time to quietly start looking out for bulk ball bullets in anticipation of better primer availability. Perhaps wait just a bit longer to see what Black Friday does. but in any event, I don't think you're going to see bulk numbers any lower than right now, no matter what - at least not on the pulled/seconds market side. For the other more mainstream venues and premium bullets, I don't think have bottomed out yet - but stand by for some pretty spectacular Black Friday pistol bullet sales, is my expectation. As mentioned by others, if the R's win BOTH House and Senate (which is now looking much more likely than a month ago), discomfort driven purchases will subside. I think there are going to be some very attractive Black Friday sales coming up. |

Do not underestimate the GOP's ability to blow a 2 TD lead with less than 2 minutes to play. I hope you are correct though. And I have also seen many bulk bulets dropping to the point where even loading 9mm is sensible, for those of us who don't use a progressive. Primers still 8/100 around here when they do surface. |

I'm waiting for CCI # 500, #350 and #34.
When they're available in quantity again for less than $80/k I will be buying 20k of each and be done with it. Not setting back significant quantities of foreign primers at today's prices. That's foolhardy if you still have any pre-covid supplies (which I do). I'm awash in CCI #41 and federal LPP. Need supplies for future 9mm, 10mm and 308/6.5CM shooting. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Trollslayer: You mentioned pistol bullet pricing relative to pistol primer pricing/availability and relative to factory ammo pricing. Have you noticed the same thing for rifle primers, bullets and ammo? Not as much. I suspect that is due to a few factors: - the relative price impact of a 10 cent primer to value of round is a lot more substantial with basic pistol ammo than rifle ammo. -rifle shooters of bulk ball ammo are a smaller market compared to all the IDPA and casual indoor range etc types who can burn through 200 rounds an outing easily. And so that rifle side market demand (and its supply) is smaller already - I'm just guessing at that. -and just my theory: heavy reloaders tend to stockpile equal levels of SRP to SPP (if not even more SRP: for serious times), but consumption rate of a pleasant weekend shooting range trip is often considerably higher of 9mm than 223. All have combined to result in the market buying bulk cheap ball pistol bullets has essentially come to a stop right now, and for the foreseeable future until we see 6 cent primers or so. But the rifle market probably has not stopped yet, as the consumption rate there was always lower. I say this because I know lots of people with sufficient rifle primers to continue normal operations. I don't know anybody who has sufficient SPP to say that anymore. I used to get good new Hornady 55 FMJ for about 5 cents, not that long ago. Here in 2022, I'm still not seeing anything like that - even on the surplus/salvage market. So, I sit. I've never been able to get 9mm FMJ bullets for under 5 cents before now. I'm buying. Because I have faith 28 cent 9mm ammo means primers are no way going to stay at 10, or even 8 cents. A primer is cheaper than the brass case and bullet - by a lot. And when primers hit that 5 cent mark, you won't still see 5 cent 115 gr FMJ bullets, is my thought at least. |

Okay, I'm glad to hear that. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a rifle bullet bonanza.
What I have noticed are shortages of the premium (match grade) rifle bullets, like the Sierra 77, 6 mm 107, etc. The Hornady 75 gr HPBT-M* is the exception. What I've also noticed this time, is the shortages of premium grade 22LR rimfire ammo. THAT is very different than prior shortages. * To their credit, Hornady has managed to keep this bullet in the marketplace and reasonably priced for the duration. It's a very good bullet but not the best. Still, at $0.18/bullet, it is more than adequate for 300 yards. If I didn't have others, I would not hesitate to use them at 600 yards, too. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lazyengineer: And Argentinian ones for $80 Which kinda boggles my mind about Cheddite shotgun primers. They are the only shotgun primers I have seen for 2 years now. How hard would it have been for them to convert over part of their line to small pistol or small rifle primers? They could have made a killing the past two years. Or for that matter, those Unis Ginex primers from Bosnia…. They can’t be the only primer maker in Europe? Why didn’t we see more Fiocchi primers over the past two years? EDIT: which now that I think about it….the whole shotgun primer scarcity thing doesn’t make much sense. In March of 2020, were there people lined up through the gunstore door to buy Winchester AA’s, Black Cloud, and Prairie Storm shotgun ammo? My tinfoil hat is probably on too tight, but I suspect there is a DeBeers diamond thing going on with primers. |

Other then that, Wolf, Fioochi, Win, etc - they all work. S&B isn't my super favorite because the LR ones I find will pierce at 6.5CM pressure and a small HP firing pin, but otherwise work fine. |

AM REL has CCI's right now, if you prefer - but those are way too rich for my blood. It'll come down. Though that just got slowed down, due to the less profound election results than hopped for this week. If you still have ability to hold out a little bit longer - do so, is my suggestion at least. |

I've been thinking about this thread.
Now, I've noticed my email inbox is chock full of advertisements about ammo. I won't mention names but there sure are a lot of stores offering factory ammo, some of it is even on sale. Does this mean the factory ammo is in ready supply and ammo inventories are building back up? If that is true, will ammo production slow down a tiny bit and those few unused primers can make their way into the reloading marketplace? Is this evolving situation what this thread is all about? I went back and re-read the OP and the first few posts. I need to get out and go shooting. |

Our hopes for less expensive/more plentiful primers for reloading just joined the "Red Wave" in the rear-view mirror.

First time I had seen large rifle there in well over a year. |
