Primer costs

gunman42782 · 04-10-2011, 03:43 AM

Just got back from the machine gun shoot. Best buy I got in a long time, there was a guy there selling CCI primers for $23 per thousand for small pistol and small rifle, and $25 per thousand for large pistol and rifle. Came home with 6000 more primers, and if I would have had the money would have came home with a lot more!!! We get $40 per thousand! Also got a thousand .223 55 grain FMJ bullets for $40.

That's a great deal on those bullets! The primers are a good deal too. I haven't picked up primers in a long while. I had a ton and don't shoot much in the winter.

I just bought 1k LRP for $45...The only ones I could find. They are Winchester, and I much prefer Federal....

I have always used Winchester. I love them.

40 bucks a thousand here if you can find what you want. CCI and Winchester seem most common. I like the WLP for 44mag and 45colt.
