RCBS Price Increases

This time it is worse
Kind of a perfect storm
Covid shutdown
Violence and city's burning nightly
Election year with big issues
Record breaking amount of new gun
Buyers ,
Empty shelving here and there
And we are still not done with the covid mess and fallout
I think it's going to get better and prices will come down a bit but it's going to be awhile ,

Plate steel from SSAB and Nucor (steel plants in USA) went from ~415.00 a ton to over 1400.00 per ton, mainly due to the prices of the fuel (coal and Natural gas) to smelt and produce it....which is why the plant where I worked my retirement job at closed and laid me off last Friday.

I would imagine those price forces work their way down to the consumer products, like dies and presses

Well, stay positive. I’m sure solar and wind power will step up to fill the energy gap very soon now.
Yup. Any minute now…

Sorry to hear about your layoff man! There are many ways to make money, especially someone like you who is willing to work!
