I'm doing the opposite. bulk pistol ammo is back down to reasonable levels. And I think less than I can crank out myself.I was lucky enough to come into some extra funds a few years ago.
I stocked up on bullets, powder, and primers, so this current draught isn't affecting me that much.
I have my stockpile of commercial ammo stored away to fall back on, but I also have enough supplies to make several thousand rounds of the calibers I need.
Like I said, I was lucky. Otherwise I'd be very restricted in my shooting right now.

So I'm buying cases of factory and reserving my reloading supplies for a rainy day.
I've been doing the same here recently. The prices are manageable for factory ammo especially talking 9mm.I'm doing the opposite. bulk pistol ammo is back down to reasonable levels. And I think less than I can crank out myself.

I did see VarGet for $65/LB at Bass Pro seems to be the going rate.
Last time I bought that it was less than half that price. And that really wasn't that long ago.I did see VarGet for $65/LB at Bass Pro seems to be the going rate.
Same. I went to Bass Pro to get IMR 4064, in December I paid $42ish...now it's like $68ish.Last time I bought that it was less than half that price. And that really wasn't that long ago.
I still buy when I see a decent deal on powder of something I use or can use in today's market.Not all of us are in the powder purchase mode, some bought well long before the sillyness started again. Its not like its never been discussed since the clinton administration.
Thats why powder was a better investment than money in the bank.Last time I bought that it was less than half that price. And that really wasn't that long ago.
I don’t even load for pistol or .223 anymore, just precision and rifle competition loads. This hobby used to be about saving money, until you are buying $1000 tricklers. Lol At least I ended up with 25k BR2 match primers before the last price hike.I'm doing the opposite. bulk pistol ammo is back down to reasonable levels. And I think less than I can crank out myself.

Gotta ask, whats the need for a $1,000 powder trickler?I don’t even load for pistol or .223 anymore, just precision and rifle competition loads.

Well, I guess more like $1400 on mine. For me, peace of mind and speed. I use an FX120i and a Supertrickler, but have used Auto trickers in the past. It can be accurate within 0.02 of a grain, and once programmed, throws them pretty consistently (I keep mine at +/- .02 (.04 resolution) for speed.Gotta ask, whats the need for a $1,000 powder trickler?
