I just got word from my local dealer that ammo and reloading components are going to be going up again by the years end. This isn't good news for recreational shooters that are on a budget or just plain don't have tons of cash to throw away at punching holes in paper at the range.
I got into reloading last year, and now what I have been told is that they are trying to make the components almost as expensive as just going and trying to find the best deal that you can on cases of ready made ammo.
I know copper is just going to keep going up. That's a given. I am not willing to start melting down lead to save money. Nor do I have the time or space to do so.
So the bottom line is that if this is true and we are going to see prices of primers going close to $35.00 per box at your dealer, it's not worth it to me and I am probably going to cash in on my collection of guns and just keep one in a safe for the house with a couple of boxes ammo.
Anyone heard anything about this?
