For some time Roto Metals has been my shot source when local shop is out of stock. Year ago was buying 2 bags with shipping included just under 100 dollars. Few months ago 110 dollars. Order delivered yesterday 130 dollars, all round figures .
Post office priority mail went up a couple of bucks, Roto has to charge state sales tax now. About 6 dollars. In a year scrap lead has gone from around 1700 dollars a ton to 2100 now back down to 2000 let’s call it 15 % increase
Taken as a whole shot by itself Roto’s not gouging. Disturbing trend and one we will see more of everything is going up. Shot the least of it. Gas & target fees, primers and powder if you could find them. The sport is getting getting more expensive no way around it.
