Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I avoid buying primers at current high prices?

You should avoid buying primers at current high prices because the market is becoming saturated due to increased production. This saturation will inevitably lead to lower prices, making it financially advantageous to wait and purchase them at a more reasonable cost.

What is a reasonable price for small caliber primers?

For small caliber primers, you should aim to pay no more than $110 per thousand. Prices are currently hovering around $130-$150, but with market saturation, you can expect to find them for $100-$110, or even less.

What is a reasonable price for large rifle primers?

For larger caliber rifle primers, such as those for .30 caliber cartridges, you should aim to pay between $110 and $120 per thousand. Current prices are often between $140-$170, but expect these to drop as supply increases.

What is causing the current primer market saturation?

The primer market saturation is primarily caused by increased production capacity, notably from new facilities like White River Energetics in Arkansas. This surge in supply, combined with currently lower demand, is creating an overabundance of primers.
