WoW!
Since E-Bay won't let us buy and sell reloading stuff anymore, sellers on GunBroker are starting to go wild on prices.[xx(]

    Shooting prices may be on the rise.

    I've been reloading now for the first
    time in 20 years and am astounded at
    the price of the components. Granted,
    there are more offered today but the
    costs have gone through the roof!

    Since January 2002...

    Copper prices have gone up 206%

    Nickel up 429%

    Lead up 174%

    Zinc 141%

    Add increased fuel and transportation costs the margin is much higher, too!

    Hmm. Well if you cast your own, as I do, and aren't picky about the source, lead is free. From my local garage's old wheelweight bin.

    For jacketed bullets, yes, I've noticed a slight upwards trend over time, it worries me.

    Wow, you guys are nubes! When I started, Hodgen powder was $.99 a pound, primers were $.99 Hd, and Hornday 30 cal 150 sp were $3.99 a box. My first box of store bought ammo was Winchester 30/06 silvertips, $4.99 per box. I still have that box with the price tag on it, and 3 shells left! So, don't complain, I cry everytime I go to the gun shop!!
