Not bad prices in today's market for SR Primers for $89.99 per Brick.
I called CCI last year and asked why so much more for Br-4 opposed to regular SR. They said that they have a stringent QC for the BR-4.
Not a good answer.
Look at these $60 differences. SR for $0.89999 or 9 cents per primer and BR-4 for $0.14999 or 15 cents per primer. An increase of 60% WHAT???? for extra QC???
At least there are Primers on the shelves.

We had some small pistol primer "match" on the local shelves two weeks ago -$129.00 per brick. I still have two bricks, so I passed them up for now.

GLTaylor,me too.
My brother in law don't hunt anymore and don't have any magnum rifles and found 8 sleeves of CCI Large Rifle Magnum primers and gave them to me.The price per sleeve was 1.99 per sleeve.
I expect those days are long gone!

They are coming in ! They just get turned around to gun broker quickly. Retailer gets them in at say what cabelas is selling for. Or he can sell on gun broker for 50 to 70% more.

my local shop finally had some large rifle cci's in stock. $13.xx per 100. also only allowed 1 box per day/visit. first time i've seen those in years.

I still cant get over the price doubling at least. Inflation is a bitch.

Wish some LRMag would show up. I'm getting nervous.

Before the first ammo panic set in I always bought primers, be they 209, LR, LRM, SMRFL, SMRFLM, minimum of 2k at a time and in the case of HG primers 5k at a time.
Bought so many forgot how many I had. Was worried I didn't have enough SMRFL/M (as I sold some to a friend in desperate need) after I bought my son and I bolt guns in 450BM and was looking to buy at least 1k when while cleaning AND organizing one of my storage cabinets usually for bullets only I stumbled across 2000 CCI 450M SMRFL magnum primers I forgot I bought. Now I'm GTG on SMRFL/M's.

This prompted me to do a complete audit of all powders, primers, bullets and brass I have on hand.
Was surprised how how much powder and primers I forgot I had bought.
Then all loaded ammunition I have on hand. Again was surprised by just how much 22lr I have shot in 2022. Came across a no limit sale on Norma Tac-22 at under $4/50 with free shipping on orders over $150 and bought a truck load.
Now since I invested in some great 22lr semi-auto rifles and HG's, quite a few steel targets and DIY clay bird holders save for my AR's my boys and I hardly shoot any of our CF rifles anymore. The 22lr rifles and HG's are just so much more fun.

65 to 80 max , there are plenty , they aint gonna stop charging too much until we stop paying it

especially off gunbroker

200 % inflation , um no ... 100 % greed

I called CCI last year and asked why so much more for Br-4 opposed to regular SR. They said that they have a stringent QC for the BR-4

they used to only be 8-10 bucks more per k ...
