my guess is the people owning rifles in these calibers aren't hurting for money, nor do they reload.


So a 300 win mag is now a rich mans rifle man I’m excited I finally made it

Yeah, those of us dirtbags in 30-06 land really look up to you guys on the other side of the tracks.  The extra 10 or 20 grains of powder behind the same bullet is probably what is driving up the cost.   :dunno: :chuckle:

That and the magnum image we get from the magnum word.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

That has been the price for a while. But that’s still way cheaper then 8$ a round for 6.5 prc.. I highly doubt prices will get any higher considering it seems supply is slowly coming back.


Hold the phone...6.5 PRC is $8 a round :yike:....dang, Im rich..

Anyone need some PRC :chuckle:

This thread was pretty funny today, but that plywood comment from Karl takes the cake.

We were joking today that the lumberyard should get armored trucks for making deliveries of OSB or plywood.

When did green and white box remington get to 50 a box,
2.25 a Round .

Nosler bullets like dropped off the face of the interwebs.

Lumber shortage is about like the ammo shortage.
Nobody is getting in a hurry to meet supply ,when you can just let the price keep going up.

From what I've seen, Midway has been one of the worst price gougers during this.  I've lost a lot of respect for them.

It's a giggle until someone raids your lumber pile. I salvage lumber all the time from pallets made of 2x4 and have a lot staged for projects and someone came in my yard and grabbed several stacks of 10' 2x4 off my car trailer. Guess it's time for a new camera angle, lowlifes have no limits
