Really-

So I just received an E-Mail from Brinell's that they have small rifle benchrest primers in stock-Not for $124.99 per 1000-Think I will pass this time around-

Saw a post on another forum where CCI SRP & BR4's were available at Sinclair's, but high $$ as well.  Did not even go look for the price as the OP said they price was "expensive".  LOL

Apparently, primers are still selling at those elevated prices.  Don't look for them to go down much as long as the supply remains tight ...

Don't expect it to change any time soon. Most are going into ammo production. We are getting what's left over, which is near zero, and at astronomical prices, if you find any.

Grunt you have that exactly correct, the reloader community gets what is over what the ammo mfgs. need to make loaded rounds. They aren't in business to keep us going that is for darned sure. I wouldn't doubt if they didn't increase the prices to just the breaking point for us reloaders and keep it there. They could care less if we reloaded or not, in fact they probably would wish we didn't then we would all be at their mercy for ammo. They can quit if they want to, me and my family shouldn't run out for at least 25 years, and that's if I can't get anymore components.

I pick up primers every once in awhile if the price is not incredibly crazy. But, finding them is hit or miss, most of the time.

I've got 550  45/70 bullets left to load & enough powder & primers to load them. After that, I've got enough to last me a few life times. So personally, it won't bother me, but hate it for my reloading brothers.

A miracle could be in order.
