Are the prices ever coming down on components?!

[Veteran]

Only if we stop buying

Stop hunting, stop shooting, stop reloading and hold yore breath too.

Dont Breathe. May as well not
buy or live.....

Maybe if we hadn't dumped 4.5T dollars into the economy and demand came back to normal. Inflation is here to stay. For a while.

It's the pipeline analogy. When the pipeline gets completely drained then it takes time to fill before it will produce again. The last year all the major bullet manufacturers like Hornady, Federal, and many others got priority for powder and components.
What is frustrating for me, I'm a Berger fan, is Berger bullets have been hard to find for 4-5 years even prior to Covid. How is it a company like Hornady consistently has way more product available then Berger. You would think these companies could adapt to keep up with demand but after 5 years with still having supply chain issues I wonder

If they can sell all they can make for those prices, why would they reduce them?

 

[INVICTUS]

This is ridiculous! Triple or quadruple on primers! Powder prices have at least doubled!
And this stuff sells out in seconds. As long as we line up like suckers and scream "please take my money" no matter the cost, these prices will never normalize. Get a decent amount that you actually "need" and stop hoarding people, please!

Welcome to 2022 . Glad you could make it.

Minimally……if at all! Prices may be the least of concerns…..will sufficient component supplies return? memtb

I feel your pain. I was all but out of large rifle primers and I got a chance to buy 1000 CCI benchrest primers from Bro..lls they cost me $182.14 delivered. I waited as long as I could short of being completely out hoping that the prices would come down. Yes it's rediculas!

If you are not a "prepper", start! It's never to late to prepare before you get caught with your pants down. Not just toilet paper people!

The last times the U.S.A. had balanced budgets was under President Lyndon Johnson and President Bill Clinton. A previous commenter noted that this is what we wanted (inflation). He was correct as the American people wanted the government to spend, spend, and spend but not tax. You cannot keep spending without bringing in income to cover the spending. Sooner or later the chickens come home to rest. We need to start trying to balance the federal budget and start reducing the national debt. Try and find a politician brave enough to try that!

It's a new economic phenomenon called Biden-flation. Economists expect it to last at least 3 more years

And then stabilize.

 

[tallpaul]

Blame it on whatever you want. But start with greed, politics, and common sense!

Well, when I started reloading in the late '70's a brick of primers went for $10. In the 2000's they cost $30 a brick. I would imagine the current price will stick for a while. And then increase again. I don't see the price dropping back down to $10 a brick. Though I can hope it might.

I still have primers with the price tag oh $11.99 for a brick of CCI200 primers from the mid 70's. Glad I have all these left. Never had a problem with any of them by being old..

It's all part of a "Global Plan".
