Extreme price gouging

[Dunning Kruger]

This has to be a mistake, right?? The only result for 444 marlin on ammoseek, look at the price for a box of 20. Are you kidding me?

 

[Tradewind]

Shoot carefully, eh

 

[44hunter45]

Go look at power on GunBroker.

 

[MThuntr]

Looks like you better sell me your rifle at a steep discount since there isn't any ammo

 

[Dunning Kruger]

Oh man, look at their website! This is really a great deal guys!!!

 

[Dunning Kruger]

For those interested the business is called extraordinary ammo. Go stock up while theyre having such a wicked sale!

 

[elkantlers]

The trouble is that people are paying those prices.

Hell have those people contact me and ill sell them ammo for $6 per round

List your ammo or reloading components on any auction site or classifieds and they will be beating your door down to pay those prices.

I know a guy that just paid over $600 for an 8lb jug of Retumbo and is grinning ear to ear to have it. And, that don't go far when he's loading 111gr per round.

It’s really gotten ridiculous. Prices for ammo and reloading items have got stupid. I saw on gunbroker the other day 3 boxes of ammo go for 277. No thank you at 92 a box.

 

[Finnman]

Wow! How much is a box of 250 Remington .22 shells worth?

 

[Karl]

It’s crazy out there! I picked the complete wrong time to get into reloading. I’ve managed to get everything I need, but I can’t find primers except at ridiculous prices! $100-200 for a 1,000 primers is the best I’m seeing.

 

[brockel]

We do it to ourselves

Hopefully things will eventually loosen up (again). I primarily shoot gophers and prairie dogs and do the reloading for two of us. I keep an absolute minimum of four years supplies on hand. Powder and primers only must be kept dry, and will remain good for a long, long time. I also can’t recall any reloading components ever getting cheaper, rather, they have historically been a very good store of value. I also keep probably 5+ years of big game ammo/components on hand.

You are new to reloading, people that aren’t really don’t have an excuse for not knowing better.

Karl, what primers are you needing?

 

[WapitiBob]

They bid 1,000 of my primers to over $500 and the next 1,000 were gone in less than 2 hours at $300.

Yeah I generally keep ammo on hand for maybe two years which is clearly not going to be enough unless I stretch it. I think your 5 year suggestion is the right one and what I’ll be doing from here on.

Trying to track down large rifle primers for my 25/06 and 280.

I have 3 of those same boxes sitting in my ammo crate. I quit using them after they exploded a doe like a pumpkin. I better pull them out and sell them.

 

[Mallardsx2]

I cant believe people are paying these prices. So stupid.
