Heart attack at the LGS !

[fortyshooter]

So my son gave me a 50 buck gift card for this store so I stopped by to see if any Unique powder or primers had come in.
Look in powder section and only Alliant powder was plenty of BE-86 which I have. Look in the locked display case where they keep primers now and see a good bit of CCI rifle and Large and Small Magnum pistol primers. The Pistol primers $ 100 bucks per thousand !

Go look in ammo section and see some Federal .44 Special 246 gr. target ammo....$65 bucks for 50!! Then see some .45 Colt 250 gr. RNFP ammo by a maker I don't recognize....$ 79.00 bucks per 50!!!!

I changed the oil in my truck today and don't ask how much that was and I do it myself!

I don't know what world we living in but I do know I don't belong in it!!! Nothing ahead but misery!

It is very hard to accept the changes. I know our parents experienced the same shock. I don't know where we are headed, but I have faith in God. It will be alright. Take care buddy. By the way, my Varget cost $53/lb.

It sure sounds different than just 10 short years ago. I guess I'm getting older to be able to say that, oh boy............

I always like to look on the bright side, although it gets tougher and tougher to do so.

I hope when you do spend your gift card that it helps bring a pleasant thought to you and your lgs has something worthwhile.

They have had a pretty good selection last two weeks. That is what I spent my gift certificate on.

I have to wonder if your LGS isn't taking advantage of the scarcity.
Here CCI Small Magnum Rifle (#450) are available @ $50/1000. Large (#550) are out of stock but same price. Benchrest BR-2 $90/1000. The most expensive CCI are the BMG primers $645/1000.

Did you happen to catch the price of BE-86? Here $43/lb but recently on sale 50% off.

45 Colt, really expensive. I was buying American Eagle for about $32/50. Now its $72/50.

BE-86 is at 40 bucks a 1 lb container and I bought a couple several weeks back to see how it compared to Unique. Last year around this time I bought a bunch of Winchester primers at 55 bucks per 1K at same store. About a month or so back I found some Remington No. 1 1/2 small pistol primers there at $79.99 per 1K and bought a box to add to supply. If I happen to see the Winchester LP primers again I may pick up some but Unique powder would come first if I see some. Don't understand why .45 Colt and .44 Special is priced so high ? It has got to have an effect on sales of .45 Colt guns to the average shooter who doesn't reload.
