Anything made by Vista outdoors goes up 1 to 7% after the first of the year

Is it possible I may live long enough to actually see 22LR and/or bird shot shells trade/sell for $1/rd and 1# of powder for $100?

Remembering all those dystopian movies and books about post apocalypse, choose your flavor, where bartering ammo and other were in high demand.

Dear God I hope not about the .22LR…but up here in Canada there is powder in stock again finally, some h4350, 4831, superformance….

It's 89.99 a pound before tax where I am locally. With tax it's 100 bucks a pound on the nose just about.

I've been finding some cheaper on auction, especially if they're opened partial containers…I know that's always a gamble and maybe one day i get swindled but so far so good and I'm pretty careful inspecting everything and comparing it against existing samples of the same powder I already have that I bought new and such…

Got a VERY overfill container of superformance, 29 oz (a pound is 16)…and I got it for 29 bucks! It is what it says it is, no issue. Another overfill container (I assume the original owner was refilling 1 pounders from 8 pounders?) of h380 got very cheap, and an 8 pound of the now discontinued imr4955 enduron with just a few ounces used out of it for 245 bucks Canadian. That works out to like 35 a pound I think. I'm not even crazy about that particular powder but it works and I'm even less crazy about paying what they're asking for new stuff.

Glad I had the fore sight to start socking up before the first Oboma election. I have to buy very little these days and have enough to get by with a decent amount of shooting for the rest of my life. The only components I buy anymore are when I want to experiment with a new round.

If 22LR hits $1/rd I'm moving into Trump Tower and making J-Rod my butler

Same here. Learned from parents who went thru the Great Depression
I do buy bullets now cuz most of my old stock is loaded & in containers

It may be time invest in a PCP rifle. Another rabbit hole to step in.

Did that about 2 years ago, I don't shoot it very much though..

Tested those waters the other day...
Buying and then leaving the store with an 'air rifle' ready to shoot....
Nearly $3000.....

Me too, but it was with a "springer" and all the custom after market parts. It sits in the closet now rarely being used.

I'm about 750 all in, Hatsan Hydra plus a cheap Chinese compressor.

Midway has RL16. Pretty much the same price. Payment options were gold bars, first born son, title to your house if it's paid for.

Since we are near the Christmas season I thought I would attempt to spread a little cheer. Go look at your reloading supplies. Do a quick calculation on how much you have in the cabinets. Many of you are rich and don't realize it. Merry Christmas!

Did that just the other day and found an 8 lb jug of RL16 that, for the life of me, I can't recollect where or when I snagged it... That ever happen to anyone else?

Every time I check my powder supplies
