I got squirrels assaulting my barn. Knocking stuff off of shelves, chewing on wiring. Yeah.

So I got out my stuff to load some 20 gauge no.6
Got my 5 lb jug of Hercules Blue Dot, and I don't even know if Alliant (former Hercules) is making Blue Dot anymore.
Dug out a box of CCI209 primers, and saw the price tag $3.29 a box. That hurts.
Ran across a metal can of IMR4064 @ $14.99. Sitting right next to a $57 bottle of 4895.
We're all feeling it.IMG_20250510_133407656_HDR.jpg

Dang I've been reloading a long time. Still gonna mow down some trespassing squirrels though.
 
Yeah it's painful. If I could have only stocked up back then...of course I didn't have any money then 😒

Same here. I kept a few of my old IMR cans for nostalgia and decorating my reloading bench and some of them have sub $10 price tags on them. Primers too. The good old days.
 
Ran across 2 more lbs when you couldn't hardly find it, and paid $52 each.

I just cracked open my last brick of CCi450s. Paid $27 and change just before covid. Now I feel like a pine cone for not buying out the store when covid started.
