[QUOTE="dgpcpa, post: 2215579, member: 93459"] Ammo may be headed back to the shelf. Hopefully reloading components follow. However, I cannot continue to shoot much longer if the prices do not go back somewhere close to where prices were 18 months ago. I purchased plenty of the Hornady ELD-X 143gr bullets at $39-$42 per box of 100 from just about any of the popular retailers. Six weeks ago, MidwayUSA.com priced theirs at $49/box. I bought their limit of two boxes. Just last week, MidwayUSA.com had jumped to roughly $54/box - $5 per box in less than 7 weeks. My math says that is a 10% increase in just 7 weeks, or annualized to 60% increase. I gave MidwayUSA.com an ear-full. Disappointedly, MidwayUSA.com was the only retailer having the dire-needed bullet. So, I paid the $49 seven weeks ago. But I had to pass on the $54 box - if nothing else, on the basis of principle.
