[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 2734312, member: 5060"] There is no monopoly or collusion with respect to the pricing of powders and primers. The economics simply do not support the long-term investment of resources to bring all of the production of these goods back to the US and the increase of temporary production. LOL if it was profitable and sustainable for the long term you would see more of this coming back to the CONUS in a hearbeat. People like to dream up all sorts of things when they are not able to satisfy an immediate need. The biggest issue and I have some friends in the industry and it is the pent-up demand and hording that is going on which is driven by the shortages over the last few years. What complicates this matter even further and to a greater extent than most realize is the commitment to the large ammunition makers who consume by far the vast majority of produced ammunition components. Given time demand will subside and the availability will once again be reasonable. Pricing--everything is going crazy (remember the early 80's) and with the globalization of the industry it is more complicated than it was in previous times of inflationary pressures. ;) [/QUOTE]
