[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2711384, member: 113268"] Its ironic that some have mentioned the cost of gas to get there. Gas prices where I am at are pretty much back to normal. I think its $2.85 right now. It had dropped to $2.35 but jumped because of christmas travel. What makes it ironic is that the one of the reasons gas prices have dropped is because people reduced their driving and stopped buying as much gas. With ammo and components, people are not shooting but buy every box of ammo and component that they can find. Prices will continue to be outrageous until people realize that maybe 100,000 primers is enough. Maybe they don't need another brick. Its like the people who bought thousands of rolls of toilet paper during the pandemic. How many times can you wipe your backside in your lifetime? People who have plenty of ammo to spare aren't shooting because they think about how much it would cost to replace what they shoot. Sure someone has thousands of rounds of 556 that they spent 30 cents a round on but its 50 cents a round now and was up to $1 not that long ago so that fun mag dump went from $9 to $15 and could jump back up to $30 in their mind even though they only spent $9.
