Back in town, and went back to the same store to buy more primers. They are now limited to 300 per purchase, per day. I've called several friends in the area to stop by and purchase the maximum for me.
I got 300 CCI small pistol primers for $4.99 per 100.
The way I figure it, I want to have about 6,000 primers on hand divided between small pistol, large pistol, small rifle, large rifle. Add another 2,000 of shotgun primers to the mix.
With store imposed limits, it is going to take a while......if they don't run out first (which I think they will unless they have a hidden stash in the back).
Primers and Powder are the two components that we cannot manufacture or recycle ourselves (we can pour our own lead bullets and recycle used brass). Powder seems to be readily available, and hasn't had much of a markup in the past several years. Primers on the other hand......
