Fed or CCI does it make a difference?

It does if you're actually selling some.

If you're just curious about the market price, then maybe not.

People were routinely asking about $100 a brick.  SEC just got in a pretty sizeable shipment of primers so maybe the supply chain is starting to catch up with demand.

I have been holed up in the house for a while now.  Wondering what the availability of primers is like currently.  Maybe someone who is allowed to leave the basement could fill me in.  Last i checked was about the beginning of the year and it was basically zero.

Pretty much the same as the last you checked at about the beginning of the year, basically zero. A couple of months ago I saw primers for sale at Young Guns. Limit two sleeves.

So basically 200?

Yikes. 

I was lucky t buy a brick (5k) of CCi LRP right before things went ape $hit.  I was able to get some other primers to test along the way as well, like Winchester and Federal Champion.  I like the CCi that I have, but would be good to be able to get different versions as well as Fed Match primers.  I can still recall when shelves were full of that stuff, but I wasn't reloading. . .  :(
