[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 2572616, member: 90080"] That's the way it is now, unfortunately. It should be more realistic prices over time, but I doubt it drops to previous price. I spent a lot over last 2-6 years, prior to current price explosion, buying all the primers, bullets, brass and powder I could find for me, my son's and grandson. I was able to trade primers and powders locally to refurbish needed specific components. The "old hands" have been thru shortages several times, so they know to keep their components stocked well for all their rifles, plus rifles they plan on building. People that are new to reloading or used to picking up a pound or two at a local shop, are really in a bind. If things do settle down somewhat, they will have learned to build a good stash for the future. I was able to trade for 40# of RL-23 about a year ago from a local shop that were desperate for primers. RL-23 is nearly impossible to find, so I was able to trade 8# for 12# of Varget I needed. If a guy doesn't want to buy the hard to find, super expensive powders, he needs something to trade, find another powder or do without. It's a shame, for sure. [/QUOTE]
