I just bought 1000 CCI LR 250 from a local gun dealer this evening - $37.00.

And wow, you only got ripped off by 100%. Two years ago, CCI LR would maybe fetch 18 dollars.

bigcountry - Yeah I know, but I also remember when Iwas able to buy a thousand primers forabout $5. Seems like a sign of the times in everything to do with shooting & hunting - prices are going thru the roof. Have you bought a non-resident hunting license lately? Costs are growing exponentially, especially in our western states. It is going to get to the point that we are not going to be able to afford toexercise our "freedoms".

Really, in todays market $37/1000 primers isn't a bad price, but when compared to just one short year ago, it seems ludicris!
I don't shop gunbroker, but I do watch the prices as a gauge to what the market will bear. Right now, primers are still fetching $50+/1000, and coming down. That to me is a sign that the supplys are finally catching up to the demand, and until big O announces that he is coming for our guns, the market should continue to catch up, BUT if the big O announces some new tax on ammo. or some new gun registration scheem, all bets are off!

Things are starting to open up a bit in Northern Nevada. Powder and primers are starting to trickle in. My buddy orders online from Cabelas. Then it gets back ordered, but they will and have come in. It took him about 4 weeks to get his primers. And he got Sm. Pistol, Lg. Pistol, Sm. Rifle and Lg. Rifle. He is a very happy man. I, on the other hand.......have no primers because I didnt want to wait. I have recently placed an order and will wait the 4 weeks or whatever. Well worth the wait. I also go to the gun shows and stake a claim in line around 5am, when the doors open, I sprint to the reloading station with wagon in tow and buy as much as I can.

Stand by for a couple of weeks. The primers, powder, black rifles, 22 cal ammo and 380's are starting to flow again, that isuntil the next dumb remarks from the Abama administration. Don't panic and buy off the scalpers. You'll have all you need in a very short time.
