I have not purchased reloading supplies in quite a while. Normally I will stack deep essentials when the opportunity arises.

Specifically I am looking at adding more primers but I have noticed that prices are still elevated. I still have a stash so I am not in a hurry but it would be nice to top up.

Ideally I will buy CCI 400 and CCI 500 as my primary staples so those typically get preferable treatment. At first glance I saw some Magtech that were cheap but I have no experience with them.

My main question is which aggregation sites do you guys like to use? I used to frequent AmmoSeek but I'm not sure if there are others that I should be looking at as well.

Any other suggestions for places to frequent would be helpful. The regular ones like Midway, Natches, Powder Valley are on the list but I recently priced out the exact same product at one site vs another and for the exact same product one was over $50 more expensive even though they had a 'sale' going on and had free hazmat. In other words the regular price including shipping and hazmat at one site was cheaper than the sale price w/free hazmat.

Basically put it still seems sort of like a free for all as far as supplies go so I am seeking additional input from the peanut gallery.

I use a lot of pistol primers as i still shoot USPSA and have resisted loading up at covid prices but recently winchester primers have been available at $50/1000 shipped so i have been buying at that level

Are those primers any good? What about Magtech? I don't know if I want to get tens of thousands of anything unless I know what I'm getting.
 
. I have used winchester primers for 40 years and they are my favorite. Cups are not to thick or thin. Just perfect. No drama works great in striker fired guns
Thanks!

I ordered 10k from them. It wasn't advertised but they had an additional 20% off for multiple cases.

I ordered another case from another store before I saw your post. It limited me to only 1 case but it was slightly more by $5 per 1k after everything. I don't feel like haggling with them over $25. If it wasn't for the additional 20% it would have been within $2 of each other.

Total I have 15k SPP coming.
