CCI primer prices

[Tikkat1x]

WTF is going on, a year ago i was paying £100 for a 1,000 of them, then they ran out so went for magtech at £70per 1.000,
now the same CCI primers are £167,40, absolute Pi$$ take

 

[ruger77]

They were £180 at the Yorkshire shooting show last week

 

[enfieldspares]

£170 at Norman Clarke in Rugby two weeks ago.

Wonder if it’s our locals taking the pi$$ or are they having to pay more

Stopped using CCI primers a good while ago after reading Laurie Holland's excellent LRP primer comparison report. Now using S&B LRP primers which are much cheaper, readily available AND produce lower SD numbers. Those CCI prices quoted sound like a p!ss take to me but hey, it's your cash so your call.

I wouldn’t pay that for cci. Ever. I’m sticking with magtech. No difference as far as I can tell. And half price

They are having to pay more

Whilst in Canada in June I looked up prices of Remington primers in Canada and USA. They were at least half the price of what they are in UK.
We are being fleeced.

I'm presently using S&B Magnum small rifle primers, £70/1000 earlier this year. No difference in results between these and the BR4 and 450's that I have.

just looking at cci primer prices in the usa for a 1000 £48 yes we are being screwed

 

[Demetrius]

By the manufacturers, importers or the dealers, that's the question.......

agree very expensive, however I'm used to them, I spent a huge amount of time developing loads with them, they seat consistently, and I'm reluctant to change.


I'm glad we have plenty of alternatives, but that extra 6p a primer isn't what's expensive about shooting. Overall very glad they're back.

That's disgusting,I would like too think no one would pay that.
There's profitering & that's damn right skull duggery.

And those of us who saw the way the wind was blowing and bought enough to last us were criticised....

Here lies the anchor of our current woes,financially,politically, socially & The Ukraine War Machine requires millions of these to ensure the slaughter on both sides continues.
