Out of stock. Doesn't count if it isn't available. I'm talking about what is available to buy right now.

But heck, even 0.48 is a bundle. I remember when I could get loaded boxes of name brand ammo for that.

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.

That's used brass. I'm using unfired brass here as the price baseline.

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

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.

Starline has it as "Buy Now". That's what I would consider in stock. Their back orders usually only take a couple of weeks.

I do agree, if it is not available, the pricing is pointless.

If you can't get your hands on it, Starline will not show any pricing.

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.:(

Right now new Lapua30-06 brass is much less @ $1.29/each and that is a super quality brass. (Midway USA)

Optics Planet has new Winchester brass for 92¢ each. Not inexpensive but half the price you quoted.
 
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 looking at Midway right now and it is showing as $1.46/per case.

That's higher prices at one individual operation.

"Inflation", defined as a decline in the value of a currency, comes when the nominal value of currency in circulation exceeds the true value of goods and services produced by the currency-issuing country.

Raising minimum wage will not affect "inflation", the deflation of currency, absent an overprinting of currency. It will just shift spending priorities.

Yes, you have to add up all of the operations together to see by how much operating costs increase overall. Many of the workers might already have skills above minimum wage earners though and you have to move them up in pay too or they will find someone who will.

The only other way to do it is kill American jobs and send them to China like many of the goods we use, probably the device you are reading this with included.

That said, the US made that illegal back in the ‘90’s

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'm reading this correctly, you've loaded up a bunch of test rounds to see what works or doesn't in your rifles. If I'm correct, you may want to only load a few and test them, then load a bunch for storage, so that you don't have to pull a bunch of ammo apart when they don't work/function in your rifle/s or the accuracy isn't what you want.

Just my thoughts.

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.

Edit: Optics Planet has Winchester 30-06 brass for ¢92 per right now.
