I hear Ammo is going uo 40%. I hope reloading components don't take a big hit.

Reloading components have taken several big hits, with the last one occuring January 1st. If you didn't buy a large quantity before the first of the year, you'll be in for a surprise when you restock, unless your dealer is selling some of his old stock at the old price.
Hope this helps.

In general components are going to follow loaded ammunition prices in increasing in cost, the nice thing is you'll still save money be reloading because it'll still cost less than factory ammunition.

It's already about two years too late to stock up.
Components went up 10 - 15% every three months last year, and Jan. 1st this year, they went up another 20%.
(Berry bullets went up 63% over a year ago's prices at Cabala's in the new catalog I got monday)

They certainly have gone up. I stocked up on powder last fall and I'm glad I did - I noticed most Hodgdon 1lbs cans are going for $20 now, they were $16-$17, and of course primers that used to be $1.59/100 are now $2.49

I am shooting and reloading a WHOLE LOTTA 9mm lately. The bullets are pretty cheap, brass cheap, and a pound of powder will get you a long way.
Today at a "second hand" store I found 600 bullets for $49.99. They were 155gr .40......Remington JHP. There was a time when that was no deal at all

Price .45 acp 230 Grain LRN's (500) last night and about choked when they were $40 . ..then I got a flyer from Midway where they're having a SALE for $54 . . . .the decision to start casting last year is really starting to look good. The first 500 rounds of .45 acp will pay for the 6-gang mold I bought.

It'll take a global recession to drive commodity prices down again. Looks like the Fed and Congress see re-igniting inflation as the solution to housing bubble, instead of the recession that cured the interent/Y2K bubble.

+1. It's kinda like selling your stock AFTER the bottom falls out of the market. You've got to anticipate where things are trending and be ahead of the curve.

I went by my local gun shop on Monday looking for powder. Two containers of UNIQUE on the shelf at $19.95 and three of IMR4895 at $24.95. I bought one of each and went on my way. While in my shop today I noticed that the price tag on the UNIQUE I bought in November was also $19.95. I'm going back to the gun shop tomorrow and will empty the shelves of UNIQUE and IMR 4985.........

The dealer I get my bullets told me lead prices are going through the roof and there is no end in sight.

Because of the war, many of the major ammunition manufacturers have made expansions to their production capacities. Even though we are bound to see yet higher lead, copper, and zinc prices, ammunition prices should level off. It is usually more productive to sell ammunition with razor-thin profit margins than to let production equipment lay fallow. Ammo manufacturers may be making more than a razor-thin profit now, but if private contractors/mercenary demand slows, the ammo companies will drop their prices to keep their production lines humming.
In any event, the days of $6.00 boxes of 50 rounds of new .45's are gone.

I’m half tempted to brake down my old china sport .308 and, 7.62x39 to sell the copper.
