I have a label maker.... every powder get a purchased and opened date. Every box of primers get a date. decoding lot numbers it too much of a pain and I want to use my oldest stuff first!

When I was young and ignorant and first started loading in the early 80’s, the first time I bought primers at Scheels in Minot the bricks were marked at $1.79 so I bought five bricks not knowing any better. It was only later I found out that’s what the packs of 100 were supposed to cost, but one of the young girls who worked there had inadvertently marked them wrong. I thought about coming clean but didn’t want anyone to get fired for it and I spent a lot of money in that store over the years so figured it was a bonus for being a good customer.

If it was mis-marked thats on them. Even if you had said something they should have honored the price then fixed it going forward.

Once Fired Brass With Can (.223/5.56 and 9mm)

Our company purchased some brass and ammo cans a few years ago and now need to free up the space in the warehouse. It was pulled from Anniston Army Depot in Alabama and is once fired military cases. Handstamps are a mix of LC and TAA for the .223/5.56 while the 9mm are a mix of American manufactures. Mix of 556 and 308 ammo cans, used but with quality water seal. You can pickup in Central NC or it ships free anywhere in the U.S.

$95 for (1000) .223/5.56
$75 for (1000) 9mm

Ill include the links below for the Armslist and Gunbroker Listings but you can just message me if you want to save on fees. Thanks!

I ordered 5000. I think they are getting them in daily. Been in stock and out of stock several times this week. I love the 7.5br. my 6PPC loves them. They are the only primer I have found that my 450 Bushmaster will shoot 1/2" groups at 100 with.
I hope they are still the same now that ownership changed hands.

I don't use LRP's so I haven't been looking. When I was hunting primers I would just check Midway, Brownells, Powder Valley, Academy Sports, Etc. a few times every day. They do show up, but in small quantities that go fast. I was able to by some cases of 5,000 that help offset the hazmat fees & most limit you to one or two bricks. Locally Scheels had primers when I was there last week & even though I didn't need them I bought a brick of Magnum SPP at $80 & added it to the stash.

I do have some just not trying to run out. I wouldn’t mind paying alittle extra for them on gunbroker but $62.00 hazmat fees no thankyou. I rather not shoot than pay 200.00 for 1000.00 primers.

I came across these LRPs. No hazmat, no shipping fee. Ten cents a piece, about as good as it gets these days.
