Heck that is worse than the $50-$75 I was seeing for 1000 primers 2 weeks ago at the Mesquite show.
I’d seriously think about paying that for small pistol primers!

Just saw someone offering .40 S&W $35 for 50 rounds and .380 ACP for .89 a round (FMJ).Hit the gunshow yesterday and laughed at $30/ 200 primer prices.
Yes, $0.15 per primer of every variety.
Glad I don't need any.
Guess they are still a good deal since 9mm ammo was $40/ 50 rounds.....
Dang. I reloaded thousands of 380s for under 3 cents a popJust saw someone offering .40 S&W $35 for 50 rounds and .380 ACP for .89 a round (FMJ).
No I haven't shot or loaded any, but they have my interest. Let us know how they do.Set up a test load of 9mm Lehigh defense 90 gr bullets, 6.0, 6.2, and 6.4 gr True Blue. To take to the range and test. Damn, one of those makarov sneaked in and 1 primer wasted.
Anyone shoot these bullets? View attachment 234230
I have made these for my .32 ACP and no problem shooting them. The issue of course is effectiveness in the real world self defense mode. I expect them to fire okay but have to base real world value on the youtube videos I have seen. They are what I keep in my KelTec P32 which because of its a .32 needs every bit of help it can get. They cycle without problem.No I haven't shot or loaded any, but they have my interest. Let us know how they do.

I pocket carry a Ruger LCP all day every day. It's loaded with sig v crown but I've considered these projectiles for the same reasons.I have made these for my .32 ACP and no problem shooting them.

I watched a guy on youtube do an ammo test for 380. It looked like the Hornady XTP was the best balance of expanding and penetration. The actual hornady load wasn't quite there but the fiocchi and corbin loads were a little faster and worked better.I pocket carry a Ruger LCP all day every day.

Those bullets look quite similar to some (loaded ammo) I bought a case of earlier this year. Your post reminds me that I should snag some Makarov ammo, thanks!Set up a test load of 9mm Lehigh defense 90 gr bullets, 6.0, 6.2, and 6.4 gr True Blue. To take to the range and test.

They cycled my Glock 43 and a Taurus g2 with no problem at 6.0, 6.2 and 6.4 gr True Blue, which is what I used as the container was open. 6.6 takes it to plus P. I got slightly faster out of the Glock 43 for whatever reason. Average was 1140 at 6.4 gr. No signs of elevated pressure on the brass. The loading data is right off of the Lehigh site, not from me. I think I will load them at 6.4 gr. True Blue. That powder is like water. Very nice.No I haven't shot or loaded any, but they have my interest. Let us know how they do.

More than I did. I had a 2lb coffee can of 45ACP cases that I soaked in vinegar for a while, rinsed then dried in oven. And I had 40 45 Cal Gold Dot Hollow Points that I loaded.I loaded 120 rounds of 460 mag. Sprinkled in between batches I was converting 25x 30.06 cases into 7.7jap cases using a Lee hand trimmer and a drill. It was a lot of cutting. Also cast about 150-200 more 45s. It's been a productive day I guess.
