This is criminal!!

Even at those prices, how many of us are not selling what we have? It's not too high if there is a selling and a buyer, it's just like anything else.

I looked at farm earlier this week, it was about 30% higher per acre than I would even remotely consider realistic, it sold in 5 days. Was it too high?

Found gold this week. 5 lbs of H4831 and 3 lbs of IMR4350. Could’ve bought more.

Glad I didn’t. With tax the total was about $520, so north a bit of $60 a pound. Guess I won’t complain if others are paying $100 a pound.

 

[Andrew Short]

I picked up 8lbs of h4350 for $230 today. Have plenty more there too.

Was there any RL17?

 

[krish]

They are out.

Unfortunately no. I checked for you though!

 

[Andrew Short]

They are out.

If you’re looking online don’t bother. I wouldn’t trust it the online front. I was there at 445 and they had several 1lb h4350, h335, and h322. Lots of reloading components too.

 

[WAB]

Unfortunately no. I checked for you though!

Thanks Andrew. If you do see it grab me a pound. I’ll meet you in town and settle up.

Of course! I’m there a good bit and know the owner well. I asked him specifically about reloader powders and he couldn’t even give me ball park time line.

He was able to get primers last week and I picked up 2 bricks.

I hate to see this kind of price gouging. Try to buy building materials now. OSB that was $8 a sheet is now $32. Copper wire that was $40 a roll is now $140. inch and 1/8 plywood that usually is $35 is now $100. Roofing steel went from $2 a square foot to $4. and 2x4 studs went from $2 each to $6, And when I mean "used to" i mean just 6 months ago.

Exactly! I was signing a construction contract for a new home and the builder called on signing day to say that we had to increase the price 70k for increased material cost. I said I’ll wait.

I was on the Hodgdon website this morning and they have a letter explaining the current situation from their perspective:

 

[leslie hetrick]

for the last 40 odd years i was called a nut for picking up any shooting-reloading supplies that went on sale at stores-yard sales-flea markets(i did and still do shoot a lot), but now with shortages i went from a zero to a hero and get several calls a week to sell powder-bullets-primers-caseing. i do keep a few very good hunting friends in needed supplies when ask, but not in the amounts they could sell. does the story about the grasshopper and the ant come to mind.

 

[CAustin]

Bob, I have a case of primers (5,000) sitting on the shelf with $62.80 stamped on it. What I can't find is anyone that has the Large Rifle Magnums (which I'm short of) and is willing to swap.

I think a friend of mine had me buy 5000 of these. Willing to help that retired friend out......

I just built a very pretty basic 40x60 metal building to keep some equipment in, so gravel floor and no electric or water, it was about 40% more than the same thing I built when I moved here in 2018.

I was able to pick up cfe223 a few days ago, an 8 pound jug.
I have all the components for the 35 Whelen, now must get the rifle built.
