[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 1051530, member: 51650"] Three years ago I paid about $52/50 for Hornady 375 Ruger brass (only source for that caliber). Today at Sportsman's Warehouse it was $52.99/50. No increase there. Once fired 9mm and 40S&W are $40/1000 from a local source I use - same as before Sandy Hook. Gouging? Probably going on. But when the shelves at the Gun Stores fill up and the orders cut back the manufactures will drop prices. But not while they sell everything they can make running overtime. After Sandy Hook people I knew that never owned a gun but wanted one jumped in and bought. People I know who owned one or two bought three or four more. All of them bought ammo and still do. The local indoor range has a waiting list most days. Business is good. So prices stay high. No pistol or shotgun powder to be had. But there is Superformance, Leverevolution, RL17, H50 BMG, IMR4064, H4198, and A4350 on the shelf in more than 10- 1# cans here. How long has that been? I can get pretty much any [I]type[/I] of primer I want off the shelf even if it's not the brand I prefer. LRH shooters have a better selection of powder and primers available than any other group in the shooting sports. We should not complain too loudly. KB [/QUOTE]
