[QUOTE="blackco, post: 178500, member: 7356"] FUEL COSTS!!! Everything revolves around the cost of energy, well almost. It takes fuel to get the stuff out of the ground, process it, deliver it, etc. As those prices go up, as will the cost to us. The ammo manufacturers are in the business to make money. As their overhead costs go up, those costs will be passed on to the end user. I'm supprised the cost of everything hasn'nt gone up a lot faster considering how fast the price of fuel has gone up the last year or two. bwaits and HOGGHEAD have a point; as GREAT as most of the people are in the shooting industries, the people who make the BIG decisions make them based on profit and loss margins. Supply and demand says that if you are producing at full capacity and selling all goods, raise the price until sales just start to fall off so you can maximize profits. I hate to be cynical but as much as we want the component manufacturers to be our "friends" they are first and formost a business, and as such they need to maximize profits for the stock holders or lose their jobs. Like it or not, those profits come from our pockets; sorry. As long as they are not gouging us we should accept some inflation. Hopefully, if we continue to support them, they will continue to support us also. [/QUOTE]
