[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2604853, member: 118038"] This is a time when you go big, or go home. These giant conglomerates have their fingers into everything. ==========/=============== Yep, their fingers are into anyone's wallet who wants to reload or shoot. But instead of 2 fingers in the wallet for $40, they got a whole fist in your pocket, and its full of cash, maybe $170 for a brick of primers or $50 to $55 for lb. of primer. And if it was just energy cost or supply chain related, or higher commodity prices, it might recede with inflation going down as the FED sends interest rates high enough to break inflation. But this looks "structural", ie, monopolistic, pricing power. Not much competition, so it probably does not recede much or any......unless foreign imports come way up to create competition or some new entrants start making primers here. Winchester is the only one making primers here they dont already own..... Bad juju...... [/QUOTE]
