[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2316673, member: 118038"] For those protesting the prices of primers in particular but really everything in some measure, Just heard on the news that rail and trucking transport costs are up 90% since 2019. There are some supply chain and fuel cost increase issues these days. Maybe they will go away, but I don't see that happening until we get a new administration in 3-5 years. Fuel prices ripple through the whole economy and this administration is hostile to fossil fuels, and is causing the firings of many good workers throughout the economy over mandates. Not a good term prescription for efficient economy, low fuel prices and low prices for goods any time soon. Just my opinion. Shipping stacked up at the ports, Many Many ships anchored offshore can't come in because no one to unload them, warehouses not operating. All of the Hodgdon's powders coming from Australia are particularly susceptible to these problems. Swiss powders from Alliant and Finnish powders from Vhitavuori too. Bout the only powders not affected are Western (Accurate and Ramshot) and maybe IMR, maybe Winchester, since I believe they are made here in U.S. And they have been more the powders I have seen available recently too. Primers, I'm not sure where they are made, but I notice its mostly CCI and some Federal. Haven't seen any Winchester or Remington primers at all. Let's Go Brandon! [/QUOTE]
