If you don’t have it you can’t sell it. I doubt ammo prices are coming down.

I payed $25 per 100, IIRC.

THanks my man. I'm going to try a few suggestions from the DMs I got and i'll let you know if I'm still struggling

This drought is by far the worst ever encountered, there’s a pile of stars aligning, and thankfully there’s some supply starting to trickle in.

And others as well.


Here’s the warning I gave out:

As for the Higginson order;

That thread was in 2020. I didn't even know you can reload your own cartridges before Jan 2023. Nor have I ever stepped foot in the "Guns & Ammo" section of AOF before that. Thanks for the heads up though.

I bought some recently from Bilozir. I bought 1000 large rifle Ginex primers. Harder to seat and we’ll see how they do at the next range day.

Those boys have a couple healthy businesses funding that gun shop. They'll be just fine!

They work fine in my 6mmBR and my .223

Velocity and SD didn't really change noticeably at all .

Bit of a strange to me twist, wasn't aware that Hornady actually has their own primer plant, apparently they run it in a separate building on the site of their ammo plant, which is an old US Gov't facility just outside of Grand Island. Funny they've never sold any on the reloading market, but, maybe one day.
I'd always wondered where they got their primers from, apparently they've had it since 2015.

Unfortunately for some, that is simply untrue. Many, many people can afford what they want, and can keep buying if things go higher. That's why product keeps selling. And that's why there will never be an over-supply to bring prices lower.

Again, unfortunately, some simply cannot afford to play and must carry on to other hobbies or whatever. But still fun to get on the internet and whine about it obviously.

Well, 9mm FMJ used to be over 20$, have seen it in the last 2 weeks below 20$/box all the way down to 12$ for FMJ brass case new manufacturer.
