[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 921096, member: 28741"] First off, I've seen the same happen with 1 or 2 Cabelas sales people, but for the most part my experience is that most of the guys are avid shooters and reloaders themselves. Their ammo prices are generally the straight up retail going price, which is usually a little less than what the manufacturer's site says is MSRP. The only way to beat these common retail prices is to jump on the sales that various vendors have from time to time. Same with their 1 lb. jars of powder - pretty standard pricing, though most have gone from $22 to $27+ in the last 4 years. Gouging to me means $5 or $10 over that, and there are some local small shops that do that sh*. Okay so they don't get ANY of my business in that case, even if it means shifting to another product that I have on the shelf or another store has, and having to do another round of load dev. We also have Scheels and Sportsman's Warehouse, and everyone is very close if not identical in price on the commodities on any given day. If 1 does a sale, the other often matches it though sometimes they are out of sync. Having said that, I've snapped up a couple of very good deals on new rifles from the big C; $100 or $150 below anywhere else I've seen them and they were "only one at this price" kind of deals. I am happy we have one only 45 miles away (LOL, just far enough to be out of reach of an impulse visit/purchase.) Sorry if that was a bit long winded. [/QUOTE]
