I never thought I'd see the day that suppliers would charge $1.86 each for unfired 30-06 brass. Soon we'll be using empties as currency. The world is going crazy.
Out of stock. Doesn't count if it isn't available. I'm talking about what is available to buy right now.New Starline Brass is $0.48/ea - $0.443/ea - $0.415/ea
Well, to be fair lots of folks think $15 as a minimum wage is still not enough. Keep raising that and continue to make each dollar less valuable and it’s only going to get worse.
We have yet to top the Mexican peso crisis though, when the peso depreciated value as prices went up (much more drastically than what we are experiencing). You would have been better off holding tangibles than centavos back then for sure.
Never purchased from these guys but they have 30-06 in stock for under $50/100.

Include me in that group. Inflation doesn't come from raising the minimum wage, it comes from overprinting currency.

But heck, even 0.48 is a bundle. I remember when I could get loaded boxes of name brand ammo for that.
Right now new Lapua30-06 brass is much less @ $1.29/each and that is a super quality brass. (Midway USA)I never thought I'd see the day that suppliers would charge $1.86 each for unfired 30-06 brass. Soon we'll be using empties as currency. The world is going crazy.

Optics Planet has new Winchester brass for 92¢ each. Not inexpensive but half the price you quoted.
Higher prices absolutely come from higher operating costs, even if everything else stays the same.
The more employees you have the more is going to effect what you have in the final product.
This is one reason why so many companies are bailing high operating cost States or even our Country all together for labor.
That's higher prices at one individual operation.
how much 30-06 do you shoot? Yea, prices on a lot of things are nuts, up and down, sometimes there are deals for this or that to be found. If I don't need whatever it is, and I don't like the price, I just move on and go without or get an alternate product.
I'm not shooting any at all right now. I'm loading as many rounds as I can, and hoarding them, as a hedge against expected future price increases.
I have loaded up about 200 rounds of assorted 30-06 in the last few months, and have about 76 empties still to load. I do need to get out to the range and try my loads in my various '06 rifles, to see which ones (if any) give me the best accuracy. And one of my rifles has a crappy scope that needs to be replaced, so I suppose I'll consume a few rounds getting that sighted in. So I will consume rounds eventually.
If I made that much banging homes together I'd still be doing it!!!In 2001 the median yearly household income was about $27,000. In 2021 it was about $46,000. Nobody ever thought they'd see the day when a construction worker would make $75,000 a year and a truck driver would be making $100,000 a year. It's all relative.
When I posted yesterday the Papua 30-06 brass was $1.29/ per case. Obviously they raised the price probably because those are the only brand in stock. I have no reason to post a lower price than the site had.I'm looking at Midway right now and it is showing as $1.46/per case.
