Right now I'm seeing small pistol and rifle at about 32/box. Large primers at about 42. Match quality about 2-5 buck premium.
I just bought a case of 5k small pistol primers for 28/box. Reloading is very much about buying in bulk. |

I haven't purchase primers in years so it might be the going price
If you can, purchase as a 5k container |

I pay $30/1000 CCI small rifle or pistol primers, but thats a super great price from a local FUDD shop who has not increased his prices for 2 years.
A normal local dealer sells them all day long for 40/1000 You did fine. |

I've been selling them for $35 a brick. If you buy a whole sleeve, even if you mix and match to get you to 5 bricks, I'll go $150, or $30 a brick.
This is for Winchesters, face to face in the St. Louis metro area. But not to turn this into an EE thread. |

Brand? that is about 6 bucks more than I can get Winchester or CCI down the street and 12 bucks more than wolf/tula a few more miles down the road. OK, but nothing to brag about.

In the grand scheme of things, you have them. You could have run all over town shopping and maybe saved $6. Not freaking worth it. Spend $10 in gas to save $5. You could have said "$40? Too much" and gone home empty handed. $10 in gas to neither save not spend. Kick yourself if you spend $100 too much on something. A small ticket item isn't worth fretting, unless you're buying a lot of them.

Just bought 2k CCI 450's for $75.
So I'll be up to 5k of those primers, about 1k empty brass, 1k bullets, and no powder and almost no reloading equipment. 
WTF am I thinking? |
