Component pricing

I took a ride last weekend up to Fargo, and Grand forks North Dakota. While I was there I stopped at a couple of sporting good stores to see they had any goodies that I may need. I was very shocked at the prices I found, the IMR powder was about $7 cheaper. I bought some Sierra 7mm 140gr Boat tail bullets that were $10 a 100 box cheaper then my local Scheels All Sport store. One of the stores was a Scheels the other was Cabella's Every thing I looked at as far as components was significantly cheaper. Granted they are about 300 miles apart but it is hard to believe the difference.

You should see the difference between this side of the Pond & yours matey - primers @ $50/1,000 & powder @ $60/lb over here. Mad

Wow that's terrible but I think we are trying to catch your side of the pond.

I still think all this hoarding is about to end and the prices will drop...

I really hope so! I love to shoot...... a lot. But I keep paying the price, I just stop in every time I'm near to keep my supplies stocked.

I just hoping that the new gun laws won't go through in our state .6 months back a young boy was shooting a micro Uzi for a photo at a machine gun shoot run by a police chief .He couldn't take the recoil so the gun flew high up and hit him through the brain.Now they want to make it illegal for anyone who doesn't own a machine gun to shoot it.And since my brother has a pal at work who owns a MP-40 and a STG-44 ,there is a good chance I may get to use one .The guy even has a LAW-66!!But if this bill goes through then us MA gun owners are history .

Those aren't my kind of guns but I hate to see any kind of gun bans. It just give the bleeding heart *T^$^@!*# one ore notch in the belt.

Supplies are growing slowly in my area. I had a good supply of reloading components and have tried to replace only what I have used, same thing with 22 ammo.

I was surprised I actually found primers yesterday, but no magnum primers.
