    Cool Federal small rifle match primers honey hole


    I found the honey hole! The question is are they worth the price $54.99 per brick. What are they costing elsewhere?

    Powder Valley gets $31.50 when they are in stock....if they are worth $54.99 to you...which is your personal decision...buy them. Right now people are paying top dollar for anything reloading related.

    Wow I New they were high but 23.50 over retail is a lot high.

    This is at our local sporting store I wonder if he has to pay a much higher price to get his hands on them for his customers or if it is just greeeeedd!! Tell me what you think i value the opinions on this forum very much

    Supply and demand.......demand is very high, supply is very low......equals higher prices.

    It comes down to how bad do you want/need them. If you gotta have or want them bad enough......buy what you need, then wait for the prices to fall........IF they ever fall. That will be a chance you take. It's a coin toss.......

    The political climate being what it is, it may be a very long time before supply catches up to demand.


    BTW........if you were to buy from Powder Valley you would have to pay HazMat fees, usually $27.50 per shipment if that will help in your decision. If you were to buy from an online source, buy enough to justify the HazMat charges.

    I bought 1 brick as i'm on the last half brick of the only small rifle primers i have.
    I haven't seen any small rifle primers in 8 months so i thought i had to buy them when i found them.

    Fed 205m's are always a bit higher than standard 205's Yes Powder valley sells them for $31.50, but your not comparing apples to apples here. You also have to add shipping, and haz mat cost. I cant remember how many primers you can get on 1 haz mat fee. Haz mat fee is $27.50 and shipping go on amount spent. If memory severs right your aloud 10 boxes under 1 shipping, under that assumption yout total would be 315.00 dollars with that figure shipping cost would be $13.95. Now if you bought 10 boxes of primers diving the shipping, and haz mat cost onto of the cost you are at 35.65 a box. If you buy less the price goes up, if you buy more the price goes down.

    My local shop has a ton of cci 450 primers, at 49.95 Powder Valleys base cost is $36.00 Not a hole lot different.

    The last brick I bought was $50 @ a local shop. That was for CCI BR2's.

    No its the price of pure gouging by greedy businessmen. My wholesaler hasnt raised them a nickel.It is just an excuse to to make obscene profits from the loyal customers that bought them from him at regular prices.
    Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
