Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I not buy primers right now?

You should not buy primers right now because a new factory in Arkansas is significantly increasing production, leading to an expected saturation of the market. This will inevitably drive prices down. Paying current high prices fuels this issue.

What is a reasonable price for small caliber primers?

A reasonable price for small caliber primers is between $100 and $110 per 1,000. You should avoid paying over $130 per 1,000, and ideally, you'll find them for under $100.

What is a reasonable price for large rifle primers?

For larger rifle primers, such as those for .30 caliber cartridges, a reasonable price is between $110 and $120 per 1,000. Do not pay more than $140-$170 per 1,000, as this is considered too high.

When will primer prices likely decrease?

The market is expected to become saturated with primers by the end of February or the first quarter of the year. This saturation, driven by increased supply and potentially stable or lower demand, should lead to lower prices.
