Buy a couple 1000 primer bricks when you can.  Live and learn they are cheap when available.

Yea I paid $200 for a brick couple years ago but was glad to get it.    When they finally came available bought 3 bricks for about $40 each.

Interesting video.  Regarding comments about pricing.  Continuing to post in manner clearly directed at a classified ad here will get the thread removed just like your comnents in the ad itself.  People can, and will ask whatever they are looking to get and if folks buy it that is their choice.

I hope folks that didn't learn the lesson 4 years ago  have the opportunity to learn from this one.

I don't even have a reloader, but when prices were stupid cheap I bought a bunch of primers for my firearm calibers when prices were great. Why? I was darn near at the point of buying a sling shot instead of taking my kids shooting.

When its cheap, Buy Deep and store it...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I always have one brick of small and large rifle/pistol primers. Shotgun 209's have been a hit or miss, picked up another brick last week at normal prices (box store). I go thru a bunch of 209's every year about 2 or 3 bricks.

Primers if stored in ideal conditions, dry, cool and low humidity. Have a life span longer than you.
