for those wondering when will the primer shortage ease up

no time soon. We got this from one of our distributors today...

We are in line to receive a limited quantity of GENEX unplated small pistol primers. These primers will be air freighted into the US and expected to arrive by late November. The pricing is as follows with a minimum order of 100k:

100k $125.00 per k

500k $120.00 per k

1m $115.00 per k

These prices include shipping via truck freight to a commercial address. Lift gate fee and residential fee will be added if needed.

We only have a short time to place our order. Please let us know by the noon tomorrow (10-22-2021) if you wish to place a order. We fully understand that the pricing is high, but we are getting these 3rd to 4th party and this is the best we can do.

So at the very least they will cost dealers $125 per brick of 1000 primers. I expect to see these at scalper prices at the very least. This note is just to let those of you that think the government is holding the ammo, powder and primers back from us. The primers are simply not available. That is why this distributor is spending mega bucks to get primers in the states from an unknown company (to me at least).
