Well, after three years I've actually saw the elusive large rifle primer. Glad I didn't need them.

Rather steep price compared to 2020!

We have been able to get them off and on but usually at about $10 higher than those. Lucky for me I haven't needed any.

And the LRM's from Winchester have been scarce

I was on GB the other day fooling around and saw some places offering 90 day lay-a-way on powder. Glad i don't have to buy primers or powder.

Brownell had some yesterday, didn't need any, haven't looked this morning $89.99 I think it was.

Our Fleet Farm has Federal 210M and 215M on the shelve for awhile. I think they are $11.50 and $13.00/100. At least they are out there to purchase.

Yep, magnums they are. Makes them even more of a "hens tooth"

Back in Trumps first go 'round I started buying primers and powder. I have enough of both to last me the rest of my life. Big Game, IMR-7828, Varget, IMR-4895, IMR-4831, H414, RL-22.

The only powder I wished I had was RL-16. I have a 7-08 that loves the stuff but at 60-65 per lb, or more, that love affair is over for the foreseeable future.

I'm soooo glad that I'm not having to buy primers and powder today. The thousands I have were bought for 30-35 per thousand and some were bought a little cheaper.

Maybe but it's all relative.
