    Is this what you guys are paying and still think it is high?

    I pay more then double the prices listed here.... What the hell. If i saw that price on the primers and bullets in this pic i would be tempted to buy everything on the shelf. I just bought a box of Nosler Partition 30 cal 168 grain. Was a box of 50 and i paid $48. A single tray of 100 primers is $6.99 and a one pound can of powder varies between $45 and $60 depending on what it is.

    holy crap, why reload at those prices. I have been getting pistol powder for around $22 a lb, before all this madness a pund of bullseye was $17.

    Primers can and should be had for under $30.

    Yes our prices are evidently a lot lower, although we are paying more now than ever. After the Sandy Hook massacre the prices of ammo and components shot up, dried up and still have yet to come down. .22 lr was about 3.8 cents a round before, now one is lucky to find it for less than 9 cents a round. As mentioned primers in the 30 to 35 dollar / 1000 range of costs. Powder is in the low to mid $20 buck per pound range, it was in the mid to upper teens before.

    You are no doubt experiencing the Socialist Utopia of Canada's leaders. They probably have put a Sin-Tax on ammo and reloading components because it is an evil and dangerous thing you like to do, own and shoot firearms.

    I think it is worth mentioning too that availability is still really iffy. You can't always find the powder you are looking for and I went looking for small pistol magnum primers the other day and couldn't find any. I couldn't even find small pistol primers.

    That hazmat fee is a bitch too for ordering online.

    Guess I;m lucky.....still have a lifetime supply.......years back, when a buddy closed out a fun shop I got first crack at reloading supplies. Stored properly, it will last for years.
