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

No, I did not see any SPP. The Federal Match was Large Pistol Magnum and Small Rifle ($109 a piece).
The CCI LPP was on the optics counter, so you had to turn around to see them since they weren't with the others. I almost missed seeing them.
There were "plenty" of powders available (8-10 different kinds of 1 lb bottles)

Was looking at bulk brass cased 115g 9mm - right around $260 shipped
No reason for me to reload to save 0.02/round for FMJ.
I'll save the primers for everything else and just shoot cheap 9mm range fodder for now.
Ok, seriously CCI…why not just ramp up production of regular and military small rifle primers? nobody (or very few people) want or need the magnums for small rifle. Am I wrong?
What friggen calibers do people load that require a small rifle magnum specifically? It just seems obscure to me because I’ve literally never loaded a single cartridge with one.
I was wondering that myself. There are quite a few in the 6mm and under bullet diameter, most of them obscure to me, that call for small rifle magnum primers, but I think the only reason we're talking about it is that they did a run, and there just isn't that much demand. I'd hazard a guess that a brick of SR Magnum primers == 1 barrel in whatever calls for them.

I use them in 223 with ball powder (H-335)
My 6mm, 6.5CM shooter friends use them. Said they get lower ES/SDs with the magnum primers.
Ok, that makes sense. I haven’t started loading for 6.5cm yet…have everything else I need but I guess I might ‘need’ some SRMP’s now…thanks a LOT Andrew. There goes this weeks paycheck, lol.

It still doesn't make sense to cater to niche cartridges like 6.5 when people are clamoring for .223
6.5CM uses SRP?
Right. I have brass already…what’s NOT f***ing funny, is that some manufacturers use BOTH SR AND LR! f***ing c***s. I have 6.5cm brass from Hornady and Winchester in both sizes.
I think another person found crimped 6.5 CM brass from Aguila.
crimped primers
I don't load 6.5 Creedmoor but I de prime it, clean it and put it away till someone wants it. Today was the first time I found 6.5 Creedmoor brass with crimped in primers. When did this bullshit start?

Wow, really? Never used them for that. Does your manual call for them?
Some do.
It's what I started with.
I'm sure standard srps will work.
Some of these things seem very subjective.
6.5CM comes in large and small primer brass. for small primers - go with magnum #450, for LRPs - it is better to use #200 non magnum - presuming reloder16 or h4350 loads.
here is a good info on this topic:
6 & 6.5 Creedmoor Load Data – What The Pros Use
This past year I asked the 173 of the top-ranked precision rifle shooters in the country about the ...

valley has reloder 16 in stock right now, and a bunch of others too - including 15.5 in 8lb jars.
it is a bonanza day there at valley - they had all primers, and also varget. i got 8# varget and 4# r16.

Ignore "magnum" and "match" buy them and use them.
If all they have is SR Magnum and you reload SR regular, it doesn't matter, reload magnum. It won't make a big difference.
That’s always been my thought process as well. If it fits in the hole, it’ll do the trick!

That’s repulsive. f*** all these dirt bag distributors.
i did not even need last 8# i got, but, i just had such a feeling that i am not going to see an under $300 price on those jugs anymore.
and as i made all my loads in 223, 308, 6 dasher into varget - it makes life easier. R16 for 6.5CM, all the rest - varget.
I’ve still got a few 8#r’s kicking around. I’m going to wait longer to buy more. This shit is absurd. There’s no way in hell it’s costing them DOUBLE what it was to manufacture powder 3 years ago.
reloder 16 8# jugs prices were jerked up much earlier - valley had it as $324, ram - $389
but i stocked it up also earlier, and i do not use as much of it as varget.
That place somewhere in the middle of the area below the Mason-Dixon line has Federal LPP for $90 and CCI #450 for $95. No limits as far as I know and they have a bunch of powder too at competitive prices.
“Kentucky” has a bunch of magnum LRP, standard SRP and SPP in stock. Looks like they’re no longer doing free hazmat and free shipping like last time when I bought a case of federal SPP. $50 hazmat and $12 shipping
Which makes them all over 10 cents each. Ooof.

Looks like they removed the hazmat and shipping. Better deal now
Federal SRP back in stock. $440 for 5k shipped
