[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 2243708, member: 102254"] There's no doubt that costs have increased, in some cases astronomically. I believe things will slowly come back to some semblance of normal. Having said that, there is somewhat of a caveat. The costs will never go back to pre-pandemic levels. Same principle as fuel costs. When the gas shortages of the '70s happened, long lines cost of fuel escalated and never came down to "pre-panic" levels. In some states like the one I live in, the former Republic of California, now known as "commifornia" in many places, the idiots running the state have continued adding taxes on fuel that never go away. SO, will things get back to normal as before, doubtful but they will come back into a semblance of that normal but prices will still be higher, just how high remains to be seen. I remember my better half asking me why I kept but primers every time I went into the sporting goods stores. I told her because the time may come when they're in sort of supply assuming the state lawmakers don't succeed in outlawing everything related to firearms. I have seen primers being offered at ridiculous prices and some may take advantage of the panics. Unfortunately, it's still unlawful to shoot them in my state. :mad: [/QUOTE]
