Shot ammo is made by dropping molten lead (or whatever material) from a tower into coolant, then scraping up the results and stuffing it in a plastic case. The precision required for even very cheap rifle ammo is a lot higher. Gonna cost ya. The cost of rifle ammo is one reason why I reload.
I'm not sure that "moron's with lots of money" was ever implemented into free market economics analysis like it would be today. I've never seen so many people able and willing to pay ridiculous prices on EVERYTHING. That in itself has reset what the free market is and will bear. That doesn't help the rest of us......or the pricing. We really do need some hard times in America to do a reset, and get out of bizarro world.
But a good woman? Priceless.Women.....
Waaaaaayyyyyy overpriced !
Agreed. My wife does her own hair, nails, doesn't buy a new wardrobe every decade, let alone every season. She is also an insanely valuable contributor to the household and the business we run together. Sure, when I want to build a $7k rifle, she asks for a freeze dryer or something else that is expensive enough to nearly double the cost of the rifle, but it is way better than the guys that complain about the bills for their wife/gf hair, nails, seasonal wardrobe purchases especially when my wife hears them talking about having more kids just so they don't have to go back to work. My wife killed the princess complexes with our daughters very early, so their future husbands will have it as good as me, or they will have created the problem on their own.
Naw...quit beer and nicotine and buy more tags. You'll feel like you drank from the fountain of youth after 6 months.
Hahaha- that's a really sad, and terribly accurate, comparison!
Not much shot is made using towers like Remington...most on a machine the size of a UPS truck. There is still A LOT that goes into shotshell manufacturing on a large scale with many different offerings compared to the guy that loads the same hull/wad/powder/primer/and shot that he has for 30 years as a trap shooter. More components that have to fit together. While precision I agree is not the same it is a lot more complicated than stuffing things into a plastic case and the problems that arise when done wrong can be just as bad as rifle.
you gotta be sh*ttin me, WA charges you for BAGS?!
Yep
Ca. charges ten cent per bag. I always take my own.
