Hello all I’m probably going to get laughed at but if anyone out there has any 209’s for sale please let Me know. Thanks Tom Ketchum
Tom - in same boat, but even if someone has them, shipping primers is quite a challenge lately. Might suggest your state so people know FTF. Just a thought.
It is what it is brother! I am thinking about driving to Northern california to swap a guy powder for primers. 10 hours round trip for 5,000 primers!
Hi Tom, the problem is what the cost is now from people that have them. I watched two 5000 cases on Gun Brokers, one sold for $700 with a buy at $700 the other had no restrictions and sold for $750's now with shipping and haz-mat that's about $800 to $810 per 5000 case... sounds high but boxes of 1000 are selling for $200 which is $1000 a case... be thankful your not a Pistol shooter because small and large pistol primers I've seen priced at 5X what people are asking for 209's... Don
Just a heads up on shipping primers. The UPS website states that there is a $19.50 "hazmat" fee added to the price of shipping. Problem is they HAVENT UPDATED THEIR WEBSITE. I called and actually spoke to a person in their hazmat department. I was told you have to be "certified" to ship any hazmat item, like primers. You can take the test online. Oh, OK, and when I pass the test how much does that cost? Says I. $500.00 Says she. If I had a few hundred thousand to sell it would be worth it. Check out the "completed sales" on GB. One thousand CCI Large rifle BR? $249.00 plus shipping. I just sold a little over 18,000 rifle and pistol primers to a guy that drove 2-1/2 hours to pick them up. I didn't even have to tell him what I wanted. He told me he would pay $100.00 per thousand. Worked for me.
