Anyone know where to get Unicorn Droppings (primers) for non ass rape pricing?

i load 25gr for 69gr SMK in .223 and 41.8gr of R16 on 140gr in 6.5CM. latter does not like #400 at all, the .223 also flattens them well.
my rifle shoots 69gr better then 77 - but may be i should try it more. will see.
LOL agreed. I hate them because I have a particular layout of primers in my reloading component cabinet. Just too damn bulky. I suppose I could buy another lockable cabinet....Hate the size of Federal primer boxes. They destroy the symmetry of my reloading bench.

JFC not this shit again!
here is my 300yds from a last test of match loads - 5 out of 8 are there, 3 more went way higher - must had been unequal load.
i will try to retest it all again to see what worked better, from 24.8 to 25.3gr.
just need to establish if that was a random fluke or if it is reproduceable enough.

I definitely won't. #CCIBoxesAreTheProperSize
You f***ing guys are unreal.
We all planned this, just to annoy you….lol
Out of curiosity, why? Cause they are an extra 20 per box over everyone else?
$20-$30 yes
What is the "correct" price, including hazmat and shipping?
Groupthink suggests if no one buys them, they will be forced to drop the price to a more reasonable level.
$30/1k, lol.
Seriously, in this environment...no more than $100/k shipped w/hazmat for standard primers of any brand. Exceptions can be made for match/magnums.
My best advice is to start to befriend a lot of old timers and just wait until the 40,000 primers they have stored become available (IYKWIM)
There was a classifieds post for primers the other day, in lots of 5-7 thousand...at $75/K...they went very quickly.
Should I start banging their ‘old ladies’ now to secure my claim to the stash?

A true capitalist would tell you the correct price is what someone will pay you.
The vendor in the valley has Federal gold medal match LPP magnums. $100. Limit of 1k....

5k package so $25 * 5 = $125 "more"
Hazmat fee would be like $15 - $20 , Shipping a brick of primers on max of $20.
End result the extra price is a minumum of $75.
If we're talking about the Ram and their CCI SPP, after shipping, hazmat, and using $15 coupon. It would be $92 per 1k shipped (limit of 2k). TSUSA is $127 per 1k shipped (and must buy 5k). That's a difference of $35 per 1k. $35 x 5 = $175
With Larry, it's about $107 per 1k shipped (limit of 1k). So a difference of $20 per 1k. $20 x 5 = $100
And with the vendor in the valley, its $100 per 1k shipped (limit of 1k). $27 x 5 = $135
I realize trying to score from the ram, larry etc. can be annoying/difficult if you're not on discord or using other bot notifications. So some prefer to spend the extra money and get 5k all at once.
Would I go broke paying TSUSA prices? No. But it's a tough pill to swallow when most of your primers were had for $25-$40 per brick lol. I guess out of principle I can't pay those prices. When I need to restock in a few years I hope they won't still be $100+ per brick. We shall see....
the vendor in the valley has CCI SRP 400's in stock. LIMIT OF 3K!

TS should at least have the decency to take "Federal Champion Small Rifle Primers #205 Case of 5000 for sale online at cheap discount prices" off of their listing.
The chances of being able to buy primers from TS would go way down if they priced them reasonably and it was a "lucky to see them within 10 minutes of them going up for sale" situation.

Looks like they have CCI 250’s ($85/k) as well as BR2’s ($130/k). Large Rifle Magnum’s and Large Rifle Bench Rest respectively.
I’m resisting, lol. I can’t buy anything else until I have a place to live.
Otherwise, I’ll be the only homeless person in downtown Indy with a shopping cart full of primers and powder.
Figures...this is the best buying opportunity I’ve seen on primers in at least 6 months. AND they have Accurate 1680 in stock too...of which I have plenty, but could ALWAYS have more!

If it makes you feel any better I haven't bought anything either. I don't know of any reloader friends looking for SRP. Everyone wants SPP...
