Holy crap powder prices

[gbflyer]

It's to the point where it's not really worthwhile to reload common cartridges.

Yeah… been this way for a while now unfortunately. Best thing is to wait for a sale and stock up. My local scheels has sales on reloading components at least twice a year, so that’s when I’ll usually add to the supply.

I can only imagine the people complaining most about reloading components bought their house with 2 sacks of apples.....

Powder and primer prices have actually decreased some lately.

But yeah, it still sucks!

I’m routinely seeing primers for 55-60 dollars per brick, down from 100-120 a couple of years ago.

Wish I would have bought about 16 pounds of H4350 and Varget before it jumped.

Last major haul on primers was $125/5000 with $25 mail in rebate. The only problem was how many cases could I buy with the wife along. Ended up with 4 cases. One each of large rifle, small rifle, shotgun and a mixed of small and large pistol. This was 2019. Buy powder and primers in volume when prices are right.

Midsouth had CCI BR's at $0.05 last BF.
Patience is a virtue.

I usually wait for Midways birthday pricing to buy a bunch of powder. Shoulda checked my RL23 bottle before it passed, that $300 8 pound keg is getting light.

I make one big purchase a year when there is free hazmat. Started reloading in 2017 and I don’t think I ever saved any money. With prices so high now it does seem to eliminate the hoarders from hoarding.

I bought a crate of 450s just as the market peaked.
The upshot of that is I have a crate of 450s

This will hurt your feelings.
