Yes

So I saw an ad on a local forum in my area guy is asking $140 for 1k Fed 210 LRP and $60 a pound for H4350 or Varget (he has both) . I just know it looks better then some online auction sites.

that’s a question for you to decide. Buying is still free will in our republic

It's about the going rate right now.
It's too much for me. I'll wait.

Supply is slowly returning and prices are falling. That’s double on powder and at least triple on primers. But it’s available and may not be for long...

Considering the scarcity and increment in price. I'd say its a good deal.

I depends on how much you want the stuff, me personally I refuse to pay the pandemic price

wow I knew spp/srps were getting stupid but didn't think it had hit the larger stuff yet.
I literally just bought 2000 210s for 60bucks a brick, and another 1K of 215s for 65, all over the counter.....yay hawaii?

I just sold two lbs of Unique and two lbs of Bullseye to a fellow HR member for $30.00 a lb. All were still sealed and I had comparable powders already so why not pay it forward and help out a fellow shooter.

Bill

I wouldn’t pay more that $35 per lb of powder or $50 per 1K of primers.

“Normal” prices are $30 for a 1000 primers and $30 for a pound of powder. When people collectively say enough is enough and stop buying this stuff the prices will get back to normal.

Wow , I had no clue I had a new truck upstairs in my loading room . That being said , if I was worried about not being able to shoot I would pay just about anything . Live for today .

If diabetic and need insulin, no price is too high.
Crazy primer and powder prices, I'll pass. I have a fishing pole to occupy my time.

I looked yesteray at Gunbroker and while I was looking SRPs where finishing right around 20 cents each. I thought - that doens't seem too bad, as they were 40 cents each just a few weeks ago. Figured I'd just hang on and see if they were 10 cents each in a few more weeks. That's still a bit high, but - kind of the price I told myself to wait for, and all things considered, good enought to me.

If you have to have it, I guess not. Normally, depending on who and how much you were buying those prices would be 3-5x higher.

In my opinion, which is worth what you paid, yes.

Another thing to factor is... how much is your time worth?!?!?! Yes, I can get primers and powder at $30 a #/1000 but it would take me all day.

How badly do you NEED those components? Only you can answer that.

Asking my opinion ... OK.

So, ~2½ x the non-panic-price of the propellant & ~4½x the non-panic-price of the primers?

IMO, would you be paying too much?

AB-SO-LUTE-LY!

O'course there are, apparently, many people taking a "shoganai" approach to panic pricing.

Ok.... my opinion

OOOOH HECK NO would I pay those prices!

I enjoy stoping by the shops and talking to the clerks about the end of the world. Like to start with “I need 1,000 rounds of the cheapest 9mm you got, cash money”

You know those prices are steep, or you wouldn’t have asked.

BUT I paid $59.00 and change for a lb of RL22, times 2 lbs about 6 weeks ago. And I left the store with a smile on my face. When I did my inventory, that was the one powder, that runs 2 of my guns I only had partial containers of.

2 weeks before that, I gave a friend 2 lbs of H4350.

And you aren’t paying Hazmat on small online orders.

Just hope you are happy whichever way you go.

I have been notifications about .22lr availability and was ready to buy until I saw the price of .16/each. I will not pay that amount for .22 when I paid that amount for 9mm - but that is just ME. Someone else may NEED that for tournaments or whatever and will gladly pay that asking price.

Its way too much for me. But im still loading with components that I bulk purchased in 1990 when I first got into reloading. $15 for a pound of powder.

I wont try and address the above but I would be willing to bet that with the millions of new gun owners and new reloaders out their quite a few of them have little idea of what the prices for bullets, firearms, reloading equipment etc...normally sell for and have no idea that they have been marked up 3,4 or even 5x the normal prices.

I wouldn't pay that much, but then, I already have enough. I tend to agree with the idea that the sooner we all stop paying panic prices, the sooner panic prices will disappear - but again, that's easy for me to say. If I was truly desperate, then I suppose I might pay desperation prices.
