holy moly, prices! - tommag - 12-11-2023
I haven't had to replenish my supplies in a few years, but was getting a little short on srp. I thought about getting a couple k srp as well as a lb of 2400 at precision reloading since I could stop and pick up my order Monday. $100/k for primers and $52+/lb for 2400!
Back when I had to walk uphill both ways through snow to school, primers were under .01 and 2400 cost $12/lb.
I might bite the bullet on primers, but I have more than enough unique and h universal to last a lifetime. I guess I don't need top energy levels to kill paper and soda cans.
Thankfully, I've got plenty of surp 844 and imr4895.
I no longer need lrp, and have a few k of those, but I looked at several mail order places out of curiosity. It appears that lrp are are somewhere between hen's teeth and unicorn farts.

I've seen reports that we're providing munitions to Ukraine faster than we can replace them, but who knows what the truth actually is. I hope those reports are unfounded fear mongering, but with all the bribery, there might be some intentional degradation of our supplies.
