Cartridge case prices

[tomzuki]

Hey!  Just ordered cases for the new model 92 in .454.  My regular shop wanted $64 for 100 cases of .454 casull so I passed and ordered through the catalog for half that.  I guess it's how bad do you want them Now that counts.  Has anybody else seen component prices drastically up?? Just a thought; cast and swaged bullets are also up in price but I suspect that here in The Republic of California they have run them all out of business and must now ship them in from all points East.

Ammo, and reloading supplies have jumped about 30% in the last 6 months are so.....

but don't worry......we don't live in an inflationary economy.....and I repeat, there is no inflation.......

there's another thread going about the same subject:

Ah yes, isn't free trade wonderful? Or so that is the line of bull they have been trying to feed us. It is time to go back to buying American, not Chinese and quit accepting "that there is nothing that we can do." If we demand it, it will be so. It is in the hands of the consumer to change things.

Based on the standard principle of economics 101......metals are at present very high on the world market. Many years ago I salvaged metal to supplement my reloading...Brass and copper at a very high world wide level right now.....Lead is close behind...manufacturer pays more---you pick up the tab.....IMHO
