Yes we are. Lumber up here has gone up 100% in a year I'm told.

My family has been in the construction business since 1971. My brother worked up a price for a new home around February of 2020. They decided to wait a year. Price is over 33% higher now due to material cost increases.

Unfortunately I have, been working on a barn project which turned out to be bad timing from a pricing standpoint. Just purchased some 7/16" OSB at a price just North of $32 per sheet :eek: And I hear it's going up even more !

When the Federal Government has the Federal Reserve print TRILLIONS of new dollars, all the dollars become worth LESS. Prices are not going UP; Dollar value is going DOWN.

Absolutely! And most of this new "stimulus" is not going to the people.

The bad news - Just paid $38 for a brick of Win 209 primers (+$17.50 HazMat fee) from Ballistic Products.

The good news for those who load Cheddite hulls - As of Saturday they had Cheddite primers. No idea what the price is (was)

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.

Rotometals has increased their price again, $179.98 for two 25lb bags of lead shot shipped.

Dang it. I called a LGS this morning, he won't sell shot anymore because of the cost and he has to buy so much of it. Does anyone or has anyone ever gone in on a bulk buy and split it up? Is there even any savings there?
