Reloading die price
« on: January 19, 2021, 07:22:36 PM »
Can you believe the price people are paying for reloading dies on e-bay.  Buddy of mine needed a set of 30-30 dies and the average set was going for $80.00 on e-bay and all the regular stores are out of stock.  At these prices I am way under insured on my equipment not to mention the supplies and ammo for this current fxxxxxxpandimichrisismess  or what ever we have going on.

Only those "in the know" understand the gouging that is currently going on.  I read on this board, so here is the hearsay, that a box of 1000 primers sold on ebay for $1187.00 plus shipping!  After shipping, that's $1.20 per primer!  At that price, a single round must cost them $10.00!!!  Who can shoot for that?

If true, I am sitting on a GOLD MINE!  I am not going to cash in though.  I would rather have the components and continue to shoot and perhaps "save a country", than make a lot of money, which conservatives have been taught we don't do in this hobby (e.g. spend less to shoot more).

There are good time and there are bad times.  It is a good time to sell if you are looking to pare down your arsenal and components to the essentials, releasing Safe Queens to those that should love to own and shoot them. 

It is a bad time for our country...'nuff said.

I know some that didn't set any
JIC ammo aside and some that
didn't have any to go hunt with
during hunting season.  That's
completely beyond me how
that can happen

Sounds like some are occasional blinkers, and the others were horn hunters.

Unfortunately, I believe the state has pretty
much gone over to horn hunters.
If I live long enough, I believe most all
W tail hunting here will be HF and very
expensive. JFG I checked a place we
used to cull hunt for free.
$900.00 2 days 2 does their choice of
animals to be taken from a high rack

The biggest problem I see with the current situation is it puts a severe damper on my want to practice my love to shoot.  It is not that I don't have components, I am just hesitant to use them up.  Crazy times.
