Was in a small local shop yesterday to get some wads. I noticed they had Federal Top Gun, and Estate shells at $6.95 a box with a 4 box limit. Another small local shop had CCI 209 primers at $70/1000. That is crazy.

Here is an example of an EXTREME attempt to gouge.

I just saw that Federal has already started production of the Remington ammo. We shall see how this shakes down in the coming months.

$398 for a flat of the cheap Federal shells. That guy needs a serious attitude adjustment.

I tried calling about getting some RST low pressure Ammo here in CA. Not available or any target loads either. It’s very frustrating.

As has been noted regarding parachutes... If one needs ammo and doesn't have it, he may not need it again. TP somewhat less urgently...

And... No one is FORCING anyone to buy overpriced ammo.

Ammo
 
A fellow skeet shooter was on the wait list a local sports shop in Lehigh Co. PA. He was able to purchase a flat of Federal Top Gun this week for $89 plus tax. Limit of 1 flat per customer.

He left after shooting 2 rounds. Needs to make his supply last a while.

Ammo/Beer Run
 
Today was a very profitable/expensive day. Tennis got cancelled this morning, so made a beer run across state lines to Capelli's beer distributor in Washington, Pa--much better prices than here in Wheeling, so WTH, picked up 4 cases of Yuengling. Then on to a little business that sells reloading supplies on the side: picked up a couple thousand primers at $30/thousand, a few lbs of 20/28 powder and more shot. Price gouging has not hit here. Then cross country to see Brett Hoops, who had picked up a couple bags of shot for me a month ago. We ogled, weighed, and discussed our Parkers and future wants and needs, while his bird dogs listened intently( or maybe they were bored).
On the way home, got a call from my friend Mike who had just picked up a skid of dog food, several of us feed. So met him and took 6 bags. So I'm good for a while--plenty of shot, primers, and powder--plenty of beer and 4 months worth of dog food.

Harold, what brand of primers did you get for $30. That is about what they should cost.

Harold Lee Pickens 02-26-2021 05:29 PM

I got Cheddites, the Win 209's were $35--I have used cheddites before and never had any problem.
