[QUOTE="Happyshooter, post: 2989896, member: 127025"] So I read through a bunch of these posts about the price of AR-Comp. I've honestly never used or sold any. It's not the type powder I use in rifles I deal with regularly. I own a small custom rifle shop and I'm also a dealer in ammo and reloading equipment. So I got curious about what's going on with these ridiculous prices on components. I looked at dealer prices and found lots of AR-Comp in stock. To make it worth while to buy I would have to charge about $65 per pound which is still a bullshi@ high price. But to sell say Reloader 50 I can make a decent enough profit by selling at about $55. Still way too high in my opinion but not the point. I don't pretend to know the science behind making powder or the subtitles of how the components are mixed. But why would it cost the manufacturing company $15 more to make AR-Comp than it does to make Reloader 50. Maybe I'm looking at too small a picture but it seems like the most expensive component in the powder may be the popularity of it. If anyone is making huge profits on this stuff I assure you it's not the small retailers. I would love to find out what a compnay like Scheels pays for it. If we follow it back through the supply chain that's going to show who is gouging prices. Any other opinions? [/QUOTE]
