I wonder why? I just ordered 3k and it came to 10.9c.Grabbed a box of the AR match primers. Looks like they are letting people order up to 10 bricks at a time. Maybe thats a sign they have a good quantity?
Mine came out to .137c per primer

I dunno, but I say we blame The Man!I just redone my math and its still coming out to 13c a primer even after subtracting the cost of the powder measure. Maybe the powder measure is throwing this off somehow? Everything is else is the same other then tax

Well shipping and hazmat are the same number on both transactions and I’m dividing by 3000 and your dividing by 1000.My new go to saying... Thanks O'Biden!
I edited my post above with my math if you wanna check it out. My math could be way off also
To paraphrase the hippies, 'primers will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no primers'I am still so confused as to why we're calling these primers deals. Before all this they were $30 a thousand and now their $80 and up and peeps are rejoicing!

A few months ago, these things were selling for $200 ti $225 if you could find them at all, and many of us had been able to keep shooting only by expending our existing supply
So IMO how you need to think of it is, if you pay $115 to $150 per 1000 in order to have a supply on hand if the price drops to half that you have only 'lost' $57 to $75 but you can still reload no matter what happens. If the price returns to $200 to $250, you will 'lose' between $85 and $100 and lack critical components unless you bend over. I'll take paying more than I wish but knowing how bad it will be over the crap shoot of riding any future price roller coaster
The lesson I have learned is 5000 primers no longer seem like very many
I agree. I have found 2 LPP And 1 SPP In the last 10 days. 79.99 plus tax and haz mat. Now I know I can shoot 3K rounds with out worry. I will buy more at that price when available. I dont think 40 dollar bricks will ever happen again. More than likely 129 dollar bricks on the horizon. I enjoy reloading almost as much as shooting. Its my winter time hobby. Since I got a cronograph and really see the results its even better. Nothing better than loading up some ammo and having it preform exactly as it shouldTo paraphrase the hippies, 'primers will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no primers'

My thoughts exactlyExactly!
Primers were 400 dollars a brick a few months ago and I can't afford that too go shooting. So I began using up my stored ammo.
I can afford $100 dollars now. Just because I can afford it doesn't mean I like it... but its more reasonable. I'd much prefer the 35 dollar bricks but that'll never happen again.
And if the cost of primers goes down even more... Oh well I'll shoot what I have anyways. If there's another school shooting or event and prices skyrocket then I'm better off with what I have.
I'll continue buying at the $100 dollar mark until I have 10k of each size I use. Then I'll wait til prices drop or the market settles out.
