I have been saying this for the last 2 years. But most seem to think it's because we just buy it because it's there. The manufacturers are controlling supply and demand. Not buying the popular stuff is not gonna help. If we don't buy it, they won't make it. If we buy it they will keep the prices high and keep baiting the hook.The automobile industry is doing the same thing, keep supply low and demand will be high. I think it's the new American way. Almost EVERYBODY cut back on shooting for one reason or another since covid. good news powders are not selling out in my area and primers made it more than an hour after someone said there available so let's hope this is a start to lower prices.
