Whats the most you have overpaid for an reloading item in this frenzy?

[jb27]

$8 per 100 Federal 205M primers and $8 per 100 CCI BR4 primers. I bought 2 of each to experiment with some loads for a new rifle. Hopefully by the time I come to a conclusion on which ones work the best, the prices and availability will be back to normal so I can stock up on whichever one I like.

I paid $120 for 1000 pieces of used mixed 380 brass 3/7/10.

I confess to picking up 2 lbs of Accurate 2015 powder at the local Wholesale Sports store (soon to once again be known as Sportsmens Warehouse). I can't believe I paid $24.95 per lb. But they were out of almost every kind of powder. The only other one they had available that would work in a .223 was Reloder 7. They had a total of 5 pounds of 2015 available, but I thought I should leave the other 3 for someone else. (plus paying almost the 8 lb keg price from Powder Valley for just 5 pounds seemed wrong) Hopefully, I can sit back now and just enjoy reloading what I have, as I have enough powder, primers and bullets to last me a good while.

I paid $42 with tax for 1k LPPs


On the flip side, on another forum, I bout 50 new Winchester .300WM brass, what showed up in my mailbox was 100 pieces already primed and annealed

I haven't paid any crazy prices...yet. My dealer friend scored 10K Federal LP mag primers for $300 otd. I split them with my neighbor. I also have 8# of Bullseye and 8# of 2400 (I tried to get Unique) on order from Graf & Sons. Regular pricing. They were in stock but about a month behind on shipping. Scored another #110 wheelweights yesterday for the traditional $40 + a box of good doughnuts for his crew. Supply has slowed, but we're good for the summer + what we need to keep back. Small pistol primers are a concern. We won't shoot up too much of them until things go back to whatever is normal.

Worst I've done is traded 600 .223 brass for 570 124g montand gold RN.

Suppose I coylda sold the brass for a better value. /shrug

Bought 2 lbs. of SR-4759 for $26 per pound, a pound of H-110 for $26 and 2K CCI SPP for $39.99 per thousand today. Could have been worse...I was glad to get the small pistol primers. All from a local gun shop.

"^^those prices have been normal for four years.............

To answer the OP, nada, zilch, zero.....I won't buy items at 4x MSRP

I have not bought anything at crazy prices, which might explain why I'm down to my last 2#'s of powder, and my last 200 bullets.

In each instance those prices are $2 to $5 per item high compared to what has been normal around here for the last few years. They also had some Federal 22 lr in a new pack...325 rounds in a sealed nitrogen purged spam can. Had not seen those before...$22.95 per tin. Passed on those.

Sure glad I worked a couple of extra days at the gun club during sight-in this year, picked up 275 '06 once fired cases, now all shined up, prepped and ready to load. I also picked up 125 .300WM once fired cases too, got a buddy trying to decide what he can trade for them.

I'd contacted a large company in Missouri about some Hornady 150 gr. SP bullets about 5 months ago, "Out Of Stock", not sure when they'll be in stock. Well, got an email notice yesterday that they are in, at $23.99/100, so, I have the Brown Truck crew bring me some, now I can get to reloading when they arrive. No, haven't spent outrageous prices on things, just glad some things are coming into play.
