I am seeing about $150-200 per k on gunbroker, depending on the particulars.

That's tempting. I don't have nearly as many as CC, but the question is do I have more than I need until supplies/prices return to some semblance of normalcy?

Geebus. I have all this cowboy ammo (loaded) and lots of primers. I was already getting a table at a gun show to sell some random stuff, I should bring a few sounds like.

TnT still has fed primers listed for between $165 ish to $220ish in sleeve quantities...

Which isn't that bad - the last time I bought primers a decade ago, I think I paid $120ish for fed 210m,

Now, wether those primers actually exist, and wether that's the correct price, is another story...

They're one of the biggest powder and primer sellers east of the Mississippi - they're west coast equivalent is powder valley. They go to the PA gunshots, usually with a huge display.

They have a store in Easton Pa, that is only open a couple days a week, with limited hours, BUT they stock everything in terms of powder and primers, including the big jugs of powder, and are cheaper than a anybody else for that market segment.
