We had the new Cabela's store in Billings open this week. I went up for the pre opening event. They were selling primers and powder with limits..300 primers and 2 lbs of powder. Primers were ...no joke 4.99 per 100 and powder averaged 25 bucks a lb. They had lots of 223 ammo and ammo for pistol etc but the prices were not cheap by any standards. Best price thy had on Fed 223 was 8.90 per box in quantities of 10 boxes..single boxes were 10.99. A friend asked me to get him some small rifle primers(I don't have any for sale) and I actually got the last 300 they had on the shelf of all the metallic primers. 209s were fairly plentiful. I picked up a Lee Cast Classic press for 80 bucks but I don't know why. Probably sell it at the next gun show. I sold 35,000 primers this weekend. Mostly large rifle and pistol. One guy tried to buy 'em all. I allocated 1000 per person. Sold 'em at 32 bucks per M. Phone range off the hook. Sold some of my shot also as I had 2 ton or so. Prices have come down on shot lately..but look for it to go back up a bit.
