I imagine freight on them is pretty steep being a contact explosive (dangerous goods dangerous air cargo?)Quote:

Still over $220 in most LGSs in AU.
I still smell a "middle man" rat.
At a guess if retail in US is say,,,abt $55, then reasonable wholesale is abt $35USD.
But to an exporter direct you NZ or AU I imagine it would be even less.
US wholesale to retail margins are generally less than they are here so $35 USD cost is a little lightQuote:

Not sure if they’re for rifle cartridges or primers for larger munitions.

You might find a lot of their wage rates have gone up quite considerably, it seems the minimum wage rate was increased in many states, not the federal rate.Quote:

Been making inquiries. Most likely you are correct. Bugger.Quote:

I haven’t seen any 35.00/1000 primer prices here in the states for a long time. Right now they are 89.99/1000 at my local Walmart…I might find them cheaper someplace on line..but then you have to add on shipping and the haz mat charge. For a long time large rifle primers were very scarce..thankfully they are showing up again.
I’m just glad I had a good stash of primers on the shelf before the prices went crazy.
This explains the shortages.
