At my LGS they have federal 210's for $16 per hundred. Talk about trying to gouge people! Thankfully I don't need any.

Early last year I "loaned" a brick of win LRP to a shooter at my range. I've never seen him again!!!

A few weeks ago I was browsing all the local stores for powder and primers, all primers were either small pistol or small rifle. Powder was going for $59 which I thought was nuts until I read this thread so out I went and bought 2 lbs. each of my favorite rifle and pistol powder's . At sportsman's warehouse a golden moment happened, while browsing the aisle I looked up and BAM! RL26 was staring me in the face, I looked left and right to see if anyone else was in the aisle, nope, only me. I grabbed all 4lbs, went up to the counter expecting someone to tap me on the shoulder and say, sorry sir, only 1 lb per customer but nope and checked out. I felt so fricking guilty buying it but I got over it. Now I have it hidden in the house. $59 each. My luck runs hot or cold, that day I should have bought a lottery ticket.

I've met some good people at the range but I don't think I would trust any of them enough for a brick of primers
Last weekend a couple guys needed a hex head so I let them use my set. After walking back from the 200 yard targets I noticed they left. My hex set was sitting on the far bench. Didn't bother setting it on my bench or a thank you. I guess I should be happy that they didn't steal it.

I've been fortunate to get advice from some excellent shooters at the range I go to. The knowledge gained from them has been invaluable. As my supplies are now stocked and my shelves full, I can afford to depart with a few items now and then. I've seen people there with $10,000 guns with $6000 scopes attached that have a hard time ringing the 400 yd 14x14 gong and wonder what satisfaction they are achieving missing 1/2 their shots at that distance. And another fellow that I see there every other week takes aim at the 1700 yd 24X24 target and plasters it dead center on his second try. And the round he was shooting was a 6.5X55 swede. A few shots per week keeps me in hunting form and helps prevent tracking a wounded elk into some god forsaken place. I will probably "loan" another brick to the next person at the range - it is not a big deal to me.

You are a good person. It's unfortunate that some others aren't.

I bought 3000 win lrp about a week ago for $89.99/1000 at my local Cabela's. Now if I can only find that price on mag primers.
They are out there; one needs to get lucky, though.
Timing is everything. Below is what I got from North 40 last November.I have also traded LRPs to Magnums locally.

I bought a brick of CCI mag primers from a member here at a very reasonable price. I had to drive a ways to meet him but it was well worth the trip especially since I got a couple pounds of varget also.They are out there; one needs to get lucky, though.

Getting lucky and timing is the name of the game nowadays.
