Just passing this one on to fellow preppers. This is the best price I've gotten on primers since COVID. Bought by a case of 5,000 they cost me $68 per brick, delivered. I got 2 cases. They knock an extra $10 off for every additional case you buy. They are Ginex brand. I did a good deal of research and the census is they are well made and reliable. The company is American Reloading, who I have bought from multiple times. Very reputable. At this point, I feel a lot better putting money into silver, food, and reloading components than leaving it in the bank.

How do your store them to keep them in good condition

Vacuum packed. I also rotate my stock so none of it is much older than 10 years or so.

How do your store them to keep them in good condition

Ammo cans. I bought half a dozen of the big (30MM?) cans that I primarily use. They look like .50 cal cans, but stand about 3 feet tall. Anywhere that is humidity controlled and indoors. Heat and humidity are the enemies, just like ammo.

They run fantastic deals on projectiles. Mostly factory pull downs. They run 30% off sales every month or so. I got 1,000 premium 150 gr. .308 Soft Point bullets from them last year for $140 shipped.

I've never stored them in anything but the boxes they came in and have shot 20 year old primers with no issues.

Same here.

Thanks for providing the website, and more importantly, verify that the company is legitimate.

Wow. If that is a good deal on primers, prices have stayed bad. With that said, I was able to buy 5,000 of CCI small pistols primers from Midway about a year ago for $290 with hazmat fee and shipping. Also was able to snag over 7,000 small rifle primers (combo of CCI and Federal) for about $60 a brick. I was using the reloading thread on Discord to get up to the moment heads up that primers were in stock at places. You had to be ready at that moment to access said sites to buy them, as they went quickly. A related note, I do know that Powder Valley commonly gets powders in stock.

Agree
Primers are pretty freaking indestructible and do not easily degrade. But do what works best for you.

It irritates me a LOT that while many things are still up 20-30% in price, including ammo.....primers are double, and people seem to be OK with that.

If everyone keeps willingly paying to be screwed....we will be forever screwed.

I agree. As long as ammo production is staying high and the left over components of a run get sold they will never drop. I honestly don’t see them dropping until 2-4 years after the Ukraine russia war is over due to new military purchase agreements.

I don't want to call BS, but Midway has not had primers listed for less than $80 per brick in over two years. They also had a 1 brick limit on primers a year ago. At least from what I saw, and I shop Midway pretty frequently. Maybe I missed something. If you can find in stock primers under $75 per brick, please share a link.

Scalpers are everywhere. A buddy just paid $45 for 200 large pistol primers at a LGS I no longer support.

If we are lucky, and that's one hell of a if, we might see $60 primers. Inflation alone will see to that. All the people saying "If we stop paying, the price will go down" and "Just wait 6 months", are going to be waiting for eternity. Things will never return to normal. Ever. If the curtain drops in the next 3 months, you'll wish you'd bought a truckload of $80 primers.

And others already have 50k primers and have the ability to wait.

Yeah, i was getting small pistol over the summer for $65 OTD at CAL Ranch. Limit 200 a day. Luckily i live really close.
Anything under $80 is not a ripoff unfortunately. A lot of sites increased hazmat fee and hazmat shipping though.
Ive been having some luck at Graf's for powder ,but i just cant bring myself to pay $90 to $100 per K primers and then add hazmat, ship, and state tax.
