Check ammoseek for reman Gene. A lot cheaper than your price there.

No need to apologize. Sorry if I sounded a little abrupt. We had some bad weather on the way (Tornado watch/warning) unusual this time of year.

When I worked in a sports shop it usually had price hikes about the first week in Feb. May have been in the second week some years.

Price may go up, as with a lot of things. I can understand buying from a LGS, it is nice to be able to touch and feel. I can also understanding buying online, the price is typically right. Most times, price seems to dictate where the money will go.

All of the industrial suppliers I work with that use raw brass in the mfgr of their products (brass fittings) are implementing a 3 to 7% increase after Jan. 15, 2025. This will no doubt also have an impact on cartridge cases and the like.

Where I buy my bulk ammo, the owner expects flat to little increase in prices as there is still excess in the supply chain and because trump won. I have been with him for about five years and his calls have been pretty good.
