Post by: h2ofowlr on October 07, 2013, 08:26:53 PM: Notices went out in April and again this summer about price increases. I think the last price increase went up 10%-15%. It was bound to happen. The ammo manufactures sign contracts and blanket out what they need. The spike in demand wiped out the inventory and blew their yearly forecast out of the water. They were stuck and buy additional product at the given market price. Probably also covers all the O.T. the guys had to do as they were running three shifts in many cases. If the price does go back down, highly unlikely it will take due time.

Almost like gas. Rockets up overnight or daily and trickles back down.

If you know where to look, .270 can be found.

I've been seeing a bit of .270 Win, what I haven't seen anywhere is 30-30.

Cabelas has some. Was looking for .257 Roberts yesterday and noticed a fairly good supply of .270. :tup:
