I see that guy is taking price gouging to the extreme. And I see nobody is bidding on any of his stuff.

$119 plus shipping for 1000 primers. Come on. Are people really that stupid???

I had trouble finding bullets last summer for one last fall dog hunt. I wanted 6mm 65gr vmax but had to order Speer 75gr HP. Same this year, 75 hp. They hit like a ton of bricks but are more or less shaped like a pie tin. Didn't seem to matter though the shots were closer than 300 yards in most spots with pleant to shoot at. I will have to say though it was not nearly this bad, just that the problem started a while ago. As bad as it sounds I think it's great. I have had probably a dozzen new guys out to the range, many of which have turned onto the sport. It's nice to see new interest.

Wait you paid $40,000.00 and got $850.00? I hope you at least got some primers out of the deal.

Think that should have read something like $40 per thousand cost me around $850 with tax to get out the door with
20,000 primers. And no I wasnt being a primer hog when I left there was something like 35,000 primers still on the shelf.

Well I went thru my usual small Wi town yesterday and figured I would pick up some more primers while I was close.
Well they had small pistol primers about 5k of Federal and 40k of Winchester $6.99 a hundred and 500 primer limit I didnt buy any, Sure wish I had bought more a couple of weeks ago.

...$6.99 a hundred

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? That's just plain robbery.

That wasn't Gregerson's in Baldwin, was it?

[Rem700]

Whatever the Ace Hardware is named.

[nyffman]

Yeah, that's them. Their prices on things seem to be a little higher than those charged around the cities lately.
