That's crazy. The price of everything is up. I guess I'll have to stop eating so I can keep shooting. :roll:

I just bought 1,000 DEWC cast bullets and have 1,000 LSWC's on the way. I've got enough shotshell primers to last a year and a half, large rifle primers will most likely last as long as I will, pistol both large and small I'll need some shortly. I have a friend with an FFL so will place a wholesale order for powder and primers. I may have to build an underground powder bunker out back when I'm through. I don't know if this recession will stabilize prices or if it's time to stock up. With the political situation thats brewing I inclined to think it's time to spend a few hundred dollars to save a couple hundred later or even be able to get components, remember the primer shortage under Clinton?

lock stock and barrel are good folks, i like the catalog they send out and sometimes you can catch some really good deals..............
i don't think we are anywhere near levelin' out on prices. i think they are gonna get a lot higher before they stabilize-----so high that i think a lot of folks are gonna be driven to reloadin' and others may quit shootin' altogether except for .22's...............

I think you're right deputy. The cost of components is getting crazy!

That pricing is excellent. When you take the hazmat fees into consideration it is equivalent to what Jerry's is charging wholesale.Wizard said:

I just ordered 5,000 Win SPP and the fee was only $11.95 to NH and they knocked the price per 1000 down to $22.50.

Except as it turned out they tacked on the $20 hazmat fee and never told me when I ordered them. I sent them a e-mail and asked them to credit my credit card for the $20 as it wasn't part of the deal. It brings the pricing all in to $28.85 a thousand on a 5,000 order which is nothing special.

Well that sucks. I can buy them down the road for $26 per 1000.

I need some too. Small and large. I use Wichesters so I can use them for magnum and standard loads.
I picked 5000 WLPs at a gun show on the 17th for $107. The cost last December was 93.00. As it looks like time to stock up I got an 8 lb can of Unique at Sportman's Warehouse yesterday marked at 107 but I had a $10 coupon which made the price pretty good. Last pound of Unique I bought at my LGS a few weeks ago was 16.99, up from 16.00 only a few weeks before that.
