called around and found one shop that said they had the powder I wanted, stopped in and they brought out a pound of powder, I said might as well get two, and was told that was the last one.

then I remembered that I was almost out of primers, he said they had two boxes, and they have been in back order for four months. I took both.

The delivery we just got had Top Guns $56.50 a flat, shot in mid thirties, W209 for $31.50, Thunderbolts for $21.00 a brick. I may be set for life at the rate I'm shooting.

Those are the best prices in the nation on shot (by far) and Win 209 primers. The Remington Thunderbolts are still selling on Gunbroker for $36 a brick plus shipping. You should buying and selling that stuff for profit!

Our local guy rec'd 33 bags of shot all #9's on an order of 240 bags. His distributor told him no more shot until November, his price to us is $42 a bag cash and that is way better than local retail of $49 to $55 a bag.

We're being duped. Remember what happened to gasoline prices in '73/'74 when an artificial shortage was in place? Remember the long lines at the pumps? Remember the oddd/even days when we were allowed to buy fuel????? It was all created to elevate the price of gasoline!! When we finally were able to buy gasoline after the "shortage" had ended we didn't complain much at all about the price... we were just so happy that gasoline was available once again..... What a bunch of saps we are!!

that may be true Dean, but back in '74 no one stockpiled gasoline,

(okay there was that guy up in the hollow that filled auxiliary tanks on his Winnebago, but someone siphoned it out so the plan failed)

except for those few like serious clays shooters who use large amounts, many people are putting away enough to last a long, if not a life, time, sales may well crash at some point, and if its an ammo company ripoff, they may regret it when no one needs to buy any longer.
