Found Primers but are they too much $$$

[Valley Fever]

That depends.

Do you want to shoot or complain about prices on an internet forum?

I don't mind his complaining. If we all had half a brain, we would be shooting air guns or entering axe throwing competitions until this gets sorted out.

I found some CCI 250s @ Fleet Farm in Central Iowa a few weeks ago for $90/K.

They're out there if get them before the hoarders.

Curious on how many primers in ones' stash constitutes a hoarder?

Asking for a friend....

True that. 20 some years ago when I lived in WV, we were having a little BBQ on our back deck- pretty tall elevated deck. The back property was solid woods with the exception of a small clearing where I built the kids playset and had a wee bit of food plot, heh-heh. The resident does came out into the opening, maybe 40 yds and I just happened to have a loaded potato cannon. Filled the chamber up with AquaNet hairspray, touched it off and whacked the big doe broadside, lol.

My wife said "Jesus Tom, if there was an iron skillet season you'd hunt them".

I have no idea why I felt the need to share that at this moment. It felt good tho.

(Edit- No deer were harmed during this festive occasion.)

There are 2 of them; one in Ankeny and the other in Waukee.

Waukee. They didn't have any yesterday when I stopped in for stocking stuffers.

You are certainly not wrong! Them and the scalpers.

I suppose having more than you can use or plan to use puts you on the path to hoarding.

You can never have too much ammo or reloading supplies.

 

[AGGRO]

They will all be used eventually. Just some pay more for em

 

[Turpentine21]

Yep, I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. There is some value in that

Anyone think this will be the new normal moving forward? Ammo prices have came back down but not to pre-2020 levels.

Yeap. When I see primers for under a $100 I am buying. I have paid more. But only because they could not be had at the time. And glad I did now.
