LuckyGunner has Primers In Stock
Posted by: | Comments
Anyone who reloads knows primers have been tough to come by during the past year. Fortunately site sponsor LuckyGunner.com has primers in stock and ready to ship out today.
As of this writing, LuckGunner.com has small and large pistol and rifle primers in stock. Inventory is updated in real time, so if it says “five in stock”, there really are five in stock. Also, LuckyGunner.com adds the HazMat shipping fee into the cost of the primer, so there is no guess work on what the “final” price is.
From LuckyGunner.com:
We’ve finally started carrying primers! Even though they’re hard to come by, you can see that we’ve got a bunch of ‘em in stock here. A couple things to note about the primers. First, the price already includes a $22.50 hazmat fee…and that hazmat fee is on a per-order basis, not per box of primers. This means that if people order in bulk, they save a lot of money pretty quickly. Our Wolf LPPs are $0.035 in bulk (assuming you order 3 boxes of 5k per box), including the hazmat fee.
LuckyGunner.com is one of our sponsors, so please support them if you can.
