Was at the local Cabela's (oops, Bass Pro) today in Kansas City KS. I don't frequent the place but maybe 3 times a year. Only go to get a gift for someone. Picked up a box of 9mm for the stepson. I figured I'd walk around a bit just to look and waste a bit of time.
Just unbelievable the cost of guns, used guns, ammo and especially reloading supplies. I reload all my calibers except 22 and 12ga.
Have not needed and components for years. I stocked up the end of 99 and a few year's going in to 2000, 2001. When I say stocked up, I'm good until my time comes to cross over.
They are selling Winchester rifle primers for $159 a 1000, small pistol is $98 for 1k A pound of powder (any brand) $56 I was like WOW!! Brass and bullets are horrible also.
Must be a lot of people with a lot of disposable income to pay these prices. Last I paid for 1000 any primers was $29 a 1000. Powder was $18 for Unique, Bullseye and Blue Dot. Gave $19 for Win 296 My IMR types were going for $22-$25 a pound.
Just really haven't needed to look for this stuff. But seeing it today make me appreciate what I got.
Looking at reloading press and the accessories was another eye opener. What really got me, the place was packed and the fine folks were forking over the cash
