Yesterday I bought Federal Match Small Rifle, Match Small Pistol, Match large Pistol and paid $25.00 per thousand. I basically cleaned them out. They didn't have much left of any primers. I think they are going to be hard to find regardless of price.

$22 per K is roughly what they are in my part of Florida.

18 to 22 for regular primers, 25ish for match primers here in central Colorado.

$22 to 25 here in utah. Since hearing that prices were going up substantially I've been able to pick up a 2k for 17.50 and 4k at 15.00 per k, all were the old sticker prices but that is the end of that pricing. Last week while inventoring my primers I found 1k in a ammo storage can hidden behind a bunch of brass that had a price sticker of 7.50! But then I remember gasoline going for 20 cents a gallon.
