From what I've read they work fine. No issues to speak of.

What do you call "reasonable".

Personally I don't need them. I still have about 1600 purchased when they were very cheap. Stocked up a fair bit at the time, so I'm lucky. Plenty of components and powder too. So, none of the shortages have effected me.

But I thought since a few here need them that you would help them out, but alas you haven't changed one bit.

Just a couple of calls I guess.

My prediction is they will be $100 /1000 in a year. Could be wrong tho.

I have not seen them for sale yet here.

I've started doing some primer testing on my channel so if I see them I'll grab some and test them out.

Don't play nice in race guns, much harder than Federals.
Guessing roughly CCI hardness.

My local (who are ALWAYS expensive) are $240 a thou.

I'll be interested when you do. I've got a supply of CCI to use up before I swap over.

The OFV primers are like that too - seen a few blokes swearing on the mound now
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

Well it's funny you guys have them in stock down there but up here none of the major online reloading vendors have them nor do I see them anywhere locally. :lol: :lol:

Yes, me too. I did a search last night of all the regular large vendors that might have them and no, none do.

But look guys, I know primers have been a tight situation in Australia for a while now so enjoy them if they got em. :drinks:
