It does, but the price at GunBroker is around $90-$120 per brick, +$27 + shipping and you are at as much as $150 per brick.    When Scheels starts selling CCI #500's again at $35  per brick I buy them.  But, I'm guessing that such prices may be a LOOOOONG time coming, if ever.   When the sole remaining lead smelting plant in the USA (Missouri) closes at the end of this year the price of bullets will rise again.

A gun without ammo is a paper weight.  I have enough powder and bullets to recycle my  600 casing several times, but I had less than 400  large pistol primers left.  It costs me about 16 cents a round to shoot.  The cheapest 9mm 124gr rounds are about 58 cents a shot.

That's why you need to get a bunch of guys together and do a group buy....

Each kind of primer has a limit of 2 boxes per day, so a group buy would be pretty limited anyway.
