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.*comment, offering a trade. Toilet paper is in high demand

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...

what would be the "shelf life" on primers if kept in a decent, dry location ? i know i've shot rounds from WWII and those are obviously 80 years oldI have shot some WWI ammo, about 50% still work.

So I could be confident that the ones I have dated from 94 that are in my basement and have not been wet or major temp swings would still be good?

If stored as you describe, yes.

not trying to jack the thread but i have a WWII Russian tokarov that my grandfather brought back (i actually have the government paperwork from him bringing it home) and a box of shells that still go bang. bought some new rounds for it (7.62X25). That thing is cool. still have a bunch of the "original" roundswhat would be the "shelf life" on primers if kept in a decent, dry location ? i know i've shot rounds from WWII and those are obviously 80 years oldI have shot some WWI ammo, about 50% still work.

You could always load up 10 and fire the empty cases or just hit them with a hammer.

I don't need primers so bad to pay gouging prices but to each there own I'm entitled to my personal opinion same as anyone else for what items they have and what it is worth. Not being rude being observant and honest

More than twice the normal amount on several of them. This is why I refuse to use gunbroker... eBay won’t allow price gouging and will shut your account down but gun broker could care less. I get that it is up to the customer and if they are willing to pay it then it’s their choice but it screws the rest out of a normal deal.

For very limited things like gas and food during an emergency, sure, but for stuff that is a want, arms length transactions are the backbone of capitalism.

with that said I'm not dying for them have enough going into next hunting season .But will need to find some at some time in 2021 for 2022 season but maybe not might have enough for both seasons but I won't pay highway-supply and demand slobs . I will buy factory ammo before that happens .

I am in the same boat 500 CCI250s and 500 FED215s. But powder is getting REAL low. I will hold out until things get better before restocking.

In my view, it's like a 67 Vette, you want one, supply and demand will apply.

I think scrap metal price is around $150 a ton but can you imagine what it would cost to shoot a tons worth of primers. :yike:

Back in March Sportsmans warehouse was selling primers for 2 cents. If you were smart enough to load up, you deserve to be rewarded. You may have chosen to buy TP instead. That's what makes markets.

Agreed!
The point is that in some places we say the price is gouging, and in some places we gladly pay $100k for a car that sold for $7k new.
If there was a law saying you couldn't sell primers for more than MSRP, there would be exactly zero for sale right now.
Some people find value in buying a box for $200. They think it's worth $200 to buy one now vs. $35 later.
It's getting rather predictable, every time social media gets worked up, many gun owners think the world is really coming to an end this time and they need another 20,000 rounds of .22 to get through it.
Gouging is charging a bunch for something someone can't live without and you are the only place they can get it. Primers don't fall into that category for sure.

Starting to think CCI doesn't make primers any more.
But ya even at the store I was at looked like I bought the last box unless they had more in the back.
But I do recommend talking with everybody in your network of peeps sometimes it works out.
Still pretty dry on powder supply
Even though I got a notification from midway yesterday
For blc-2 which is excellent powder for 308,223.
Never mind the blc-2 just looked it sold out already.

I am always surprised to see complaints about free markets on a hunting site. This is an interesting perspective on gouging as a deterrent to hoarding. https://www.johnlocke.org/update/how-price-gouging-laws-subsidize-hoarding/
