Try Powder Valley, Widener's, Graf and Sons, etc. Buy primers and powder in quantity and you will still come out saving money even after the Haz Mat and shipping charges. Then load and shoot to your hearts content. Enjoy!

Re: Primer Prices on the rise....again?
You haven't noticed prices on everything going up in price regularly within the last few years?

CCI 200/400 were $30/1000 at the Allen, TX Cabelas store a couple months back.
Bass Pro 5 minutes from my house is $47/1000 for the same primers.

Another vote here for Powder Valley, or Grafs. Both solid stores.

+1 for Grafs. Very fast service. I have not used PV yet.

$59/1000 for large rifle BR2 primers
$38/1000 for large rifle primers
They are still high, but get it right.

Re: Primer Prices on the rise....again?
Bought a couple cases of new manufacture 210 Federals for $25/1000 at a gun show the other weekend.
Should have cleaned him out in hind site.
Man, back in 2009-2010, they were $65/1000 IF you could them! I scoured three states looking for them to no avail.

Re: Primer Prices on the rise....again?
Cabelas is pretty high priced. Check out powdervalleyinc.com, grafs or something like that.

Sinclair has the Federal 210 large rifle primers in sale for 27.95/1000. They recently had the match primers on sale for 34. Around xmas they had them on sale with another 10% off coupon going. I stocked up.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rookie</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hey Mav,
Apparently you dont buy primers frequently enough to know that prices came way down from their previous highs during 2011. </div></div>
You're correct.
I stay stocked up well enough in advance. Then again I don't buy at the big box stores either unless I absolutely have to. I order in bulk online (By bulk I mean at least 10K or more of primers at a time or a combo with bulk kegs of powder) and my savings even with hazmat far supercedes the recent price quote at Cabelas.
Then again I use mostly Wolf for my primer needs. I have some Fed, Win and CCI around but wolf works consistently, accurately, with low ES and SD's.
I thought it was bad when they went from $19/K to $25/k at the peak prices.
I see most Wolf options are below $24/K and some below $20 now at powder valley. Purchase in bulk with hazmat still beats cabelas prices you quoted. Even on the Big Name primers you listed PVI is significantly less.
