Thread: $51 for 100 LRP? Bloody hell!

Some keen punters here. With that and recently $460 for a 1.5kg jug of Trailboss, I'm starting to worry about my stash getting ramraided

Sheer desperation by some people it would seem, when they get to a $1.00 each I think I well make a killing.

Is there really no primers in the shops?

That's the crazy thing...... Rivers to Ranges in Hastings has about 4,000 Federal LR Gold Medal on the shelf. $29 a hundred if I remember right.
And that's after members on here bought 7,000 a few weeks ago. Give them a call.

Any in Rotorua or Taupo?

I'm alright for a while topped up a month ago so yea couldn't believe everyone had sold out already.

Hopefully not the crook batch from a few years back that were gas cutting!

Yes indeed. I deconstructed a bunch of 303B CAC sporting ammo yesterday, after a couple failed to fire, someone's reloads Im guessing or at least had had a couple of wet outings. Found 2 in 5 to have clagged damp powder and internally corroded primers. No real outwards signs, excellent brass otherwise. I decapped them all (only one went bang), tossed the powder then scratched my head and picked out the clean good nick primers and put them in a suitably marked old Fiocchi primer sleeve, 40 of them. Against a stormy day probably to be discarded by my executors but there ya go.

My God. Just over 2 years ago I paid $45 / 1000. O 1000 of each. Probably set for life now. That's in OZ.

Edit: They are going for about $20 / 100 here ATM.

There is more than a few trademe auctions around the 50c each for primers...

One of the cast bullet pages I am on says Fiocchi USA is building a Primer plant good news should take the pressure of the European plant
now if the Europeans would stop send ammo to Ukraine we could get back to shooting.

I'd happily give up half my stash if it went to Ukraine...well, let me think further on that...maybe sell a grandchild or two instead...
