Everything is going up. Have you looked at building supplies lately? They have gone up more than 7%. With the current state of affairs I don't see this ending any time soon. We are being played.

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 And I hear it's going up even more !

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.

I ordered two bags of Eagle brand shot size 6 for crow hunting just before Christmas. it was $113.98 shipped. Today it would be $143.98 shipped, that's a 26%+ increase. Hello again 1979.

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.

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)

Key word was "HAD". They sold out their Cheddite primers in a few hours. You were limited to 20,000 primers.
