Portland Oregon Gun Show at the Expo Center

I just bought 2000 Wolf small rifle primers and 2000 CCI 200 large rifle primers for $86 out the door (Oregon has no sales tax). They had cases and cases of primers there. Some of the other tables were still charging $3-$4 per 100. I couldn't even get close to a better deal online right now. Blasted HazMat charge!

Looks like we are reaching the end of the bad times for some of the reloading components.

Now if powder would follow suit. $22 for IMR 4895 and $25 for Reloader 7 and 10x is a bit much IMO. I suck it up though.

$21.50 / 1000 average retail for primers, not bad. I see them for $18 / 1000 at Widener's but there is that hazmat fee (= excuse to rape people for more money). You did good finding those.

Yeah, I saw the Wideners deal and was planning on jumping on it, until the Gun Show today.

O.S.O.K.

Seriously, the prices are finally coming down and availability is way up. Hope it stays this way!

Great news to hear. I hope it's like that here at our next show. I need to stock up on primers and (always) more ammo.
