Barnes Bullets Price Increase

[-JoeDirt-]

FYI Barnes Bullets announced starting Jan 1st all bullets and ammunition will receive a 8% price increase. This is similar across the industry so stock up while you can if you want lower prices.

I'm blaming Joe for this. Stocking up is easier said than done.

Barnes blames it on supply constraints. Which is the same story for everyone in the industry.

LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!
Just wait they say 8%. Wait a little longer for Lead, Copper, Electricity, Transport to go up. It's a DOMINO EFFECT!
Sorry to say but buy what you can now. If you think it was bad the last few years for components-hang on to your hat. The 2022 elections can't get here fast enough.
Jill and I have our own business and can't get any income until I get some medical issues fixed-hopefully the next few weeks I can get the shop open. I have been purchasing powder/primers/bullets + barrels/stocks/actions. Jill looked at our banking statements and asked "Why are you spending money for more bullets/powder that we can use in 2022. My answer was because there may not be any or too much to pay for in 2023. Just my opinion.

Uh… stock up on what Barnes bullets?

 

[Laelkhunter]

I'll gladly pay 8% right now, where are they ???

Well if you are shooting Barnes, but I would say any bullets that you are currently (or have future builds for) shooting and reloading. I have and always will be "Optimistic" . After seeing what went on the over the past 20 years. Clinton Admin and High Magazine Bans then 2008 to 2016 with Obama - No Powder-No Primers 2020 Everyone Hoarding 2021 Gun Broker and other SCALPERS took the reloading market over.

Powder and Primers are coming back now -How long do you think it will last. I hope forever, but with shipping and material costs going up I have to question what the price we all are going to have to pay. We all have to look at not only for our reloading supplies. What about food, gas, clothing, building materials, ect.
God Bless America

Joe Dirt would be a better president!

Exactly, $10 or $100 per box makes no difference when there's no supply.

Yeah "snakes and sparklers suck".

Seriously though ...next year will be far worse. Concrete just went up $10.00 per yard locally. They used to do $2 per year. Then $4 now $10!

Don't see how it can keep going much longer. Locals in Idaho can't afford housing here anymore. Several renters in my hood have disappeared and the homes sold. Getting crazy

They're way behind the curve, Midway jacked their prices by 30% months ago.

Jill and I just keep praying and i can just suggest that y'all do the same. Times have been real tough throughout the United States history, but the good people of this GREAT Nation seem to always prevail.
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy PROSPERIOUS New Year!
