That would be nice. Been waiting for my arm to heal so I can start reloading again. Just now told me to start working on strength and can think of no better way,

Does this mean that all the reloading supplies will go for 50% of what they were 15 years ago?
It's unbelievable how much powder has jumped up in 15 years, it's more than double. And pretty much the same for primers and projectiles. Not quite as bad for brass, but still bad enough. LC |

I'm still waiting for cheap 556 brass.
i have over 18k bullets but the cost of brass makes it almost pointless to reload. it cost me 18 cents for bullet, primer and powder. Once fired prosessed brass is 11 cents. So 29 cents per round with used brass or 31 cents for new. |

Shortly after opening it I finally found a keg for sale at $159.99..... No salad for reloading supplies, just a little shelf stock

Get a brass catcher and go to town, 1-2k at a time. If you're looking at buying new brass you may as well buy factory ammo and use that as a brass source at those prices. |

The salad days are long gone. The price of components plays a large part in my choice to not get back into reloading after a 27 year laps. For what I can buy cheap blasting ammo for it just isn't worth my time for the popular calibers.

Now it's $83.99 on sale at Midway!!!! $35 adjusted for inflation is $51.31. So bullets are up 55% over inflation. |

I haven't seen any lower prices locally. But I pretty much only shop one place. They're at $30-35/lb of powder. They give me the 'you spend way too much money here' discount, but it still hurts.
A friend of mine has an account with a wholesaler, I've been looking at ordering some powder from him as he'll sell to me at cost. There's just the matter of the hazmat fee. |

I stopped looking, and for the most part reloading, a couple of years ago. I'm guessing I unsubscribed from all of those email lists too.

Yea I'm collecting components but not reloading it, prices on factory ammo is just too low so I'm buying components and new shooting the new and saving the brass and reloading it for future use so when prices go back up I'll have plenty.

I buy when I can get good deals. Weidners had a super sale a few months ago. I got 1500 or so .357 cal bullets in different weights for about $.06 cpr.
My last purchase was 5k SPP and I got them shipped to my house for $.0275 each. I have never, in all my reloading days seen the prices that are mentioned from the reloaders of the 70s and 80s. Even adjusted for inflation, I have never seen close. |

Not even close. You'll be at about 9 cents a bullet and 7 cents or so on powder, plus another 3 on primer.
19 cents a round and I have to fuck with brass prep or 21 cents a round for Wolf blasting ammo. No, its not salad days. Not even fucking close. |

Last time I was at Cabelas they had 231. I hadn't seen that stuff in YEARS and YEARS. They had just about every kind of powder I ever bought. Prices sucked though.
Primers have been back for years, but ten bucks over what they were before the crash. |

I'd say it's salad days for everything but reloaders. Just because stuff is in Stock doesn't mean it's salad days. Get back to me when primers are back down to 15/k for pistol/rifle and 20/k for shotgun. |
