Hello,
I'm curious on what you all are hearing about the price of reloading supplies? I have mentioned on other threads I am very close to the owners of our local gun store. One of the owners was at my house yesterday for a Steelers watch party. He mentioned to me then that the price of ammo is going to have a significant bump 10/1 and that I should buy mine prior to hunting season getting here. I told him I'm stocked up and I hunt with my reloads anyway. He then proceeded to tell me that primers are going to bump in cost roughly 12% sometime in October, bullets are going to bump around the same before November, and that powder is going to almost double sometime in October. I asked him why powder prices are getting so out of hand, he said that all powders use nitrocellulose from China and they have over compensated the pricing on this due to tariffs.
I wanted to one pass the word along so you all can go buy before the price hack hits, and also see what all you are hearing on your end.
