I saw those when I was ordering some stuff yesterday. Surprised they were only offered in 5000. Can't figure out if that means they have a lot of them, or they just don't want to fool with a bunch of small orders. Could be that's about all they sell when in stock due to HAZMAT.

Do theyn still have their HAZMAT coupon?

I wasn't aware of any coupon. When I searched the web for availability and pricing I did see some lower priced 1000 count. However, I am always suspicious of low prices from suspect vendors that I have never heard of. I'd rather pay more from a reputable vendor than get a better price and receive nothing in return.
Yes, 5000 is probably more than I'll ever use but it's much better than my current inventory. I'm not sure that availability is ever going to improve, though I've been wrong before.

Just be careful as they will likely increase chamber pressure significantly, especially in small bores.

Jesus I first bought Cheddar cheese primers two years ago for about $120 @ 5,000 . Seems not to much earlier they could be had for less than a $100 . Now this amount . This is over double what I paid for the last 5,000 WIN 209’s I also bought two years ago .

A friend has turned me on to some I think they’re called Nobel Sport 209 primers for under $190 for 5,000 . If he gets me a sleeve I’ll try them out .

The Nobel work just fine. Slightly larger than domestic primers as is usual with most, if not all Euro primers. I've been using them in my 12g 7/8 oz reloads. I've had them for quite a few years, maybe 6-7. They were about $80-$90/5000 at the time.

Just checked Ballistic Products, the Cheddite primers are "Out of Stock". As high priced as they were, the demand dried them up. I wish I could envision the component shortage easing up. I have dreams of "Red Dot" in stock. Just a dream.

Bruce they were in stock a long time, and that price was lower than the last go around. We'll see what holds long term.
