Cheapest primers right now?

[Triggernosis]

I'm looking for some small pistol primers. Where's the best deals right now, y'all?

 

[Burt Gummer]

Seems like outdoor limited had some Remington primers in the mid $60’s per thousand

Quantity helps

$400 for 6000 or $210 for 3000ct Fiocchi SPP at American Reloading

Winchester SPPs on sale for $85/1000ct at Powder Valley

That's as cheap as I've seen them. Are you talking about the place in High Point?

Yes sir

Defender ammo had some small pistol primers, 75 dollars for 1500. They sometimes sell there primers for dirt cheap.

Note on the $65 primers at Outdoor Limited. They are the Remington 1 1/2 primers. Not recommended for high pressure cartridges. Good for 38spl, 9mm, 45ACP, etc. For things like 357 Mag, 10mm, etc. you'll want the Remington 5 1/2 primers, or some other brand of SPP. I'm surprised at the amount of people that don't realize this or read the warning on the 1 1/2 primers. Many just assume 1 1/2 are standard and 5 1/2 are Magnum, not quite. The 1 1/2 has a very soft cup. I talked to Remington a couple years ago to inquire about the difference. This is what they told me. The warning is right there on the box.

I found some at Springhill Outfitters for $74.99/K that I'm going to pick up tomorrow.

I have no clue if these are any good but I got an email about the sale yesterday.

You have to remember that 10$ difference in a brick of 1000 primers is only 1 cent per primer difference. 1 cent per round difference is hardly notable, even 2 or 3 cents per round difference.

I like these ginex SPP. They work great for me and are 0.06 each hazmat included. Shipping from capital is only like $11. I get brass from them too. Excellent service.

the servicios argentinian primers you bought also work great. No issues for me in about 2k of them. Perhaps being a cheapskate makes me a connoisseur of cheap primers!! At $50 per thousand that’s def the best deal I know at this time!

I got an email from Natchez that they had primers on sale. I checked it out and placed an order. This put me just over 27,000 primers. As in a post I made a few years ago, I learned my lesson in 2008. For some unknown reason, primers are the first thing to disappear.

I have no issues loading or running these. I did have to adjust hammer spring in my shadow 2 though. Check goastrasports as ordering 5k gets you free shipping.

What spring pops them?

I’ve looked at them on astra a few times now wondering if they will get along with 4.5# Glock striker spring.

Free ship and hazmat posted above for 4K seems like a better deal than astray even

I was previously using an 11.5lb hammer spring in my shadow. Had a few light strikes. Moved to 13lb and never again. They also run in my pcc with no issues. Can’t say anything for glocks though.

I have personally seen plenty of misfires (5 to 15%) when using this brand of primers. I would advise caution before ordering a large amount.

 

[Triggernosis]

That's good to know. I will use them exclusively for plinking, then - instead of timed competition or self-defense loads.

Have you had a chance to try them out yet? If so, a report of your experience would be nice.
