Yea, prices are high, very high but that sounds over the top. I can't afford those kinds of prices.online, there seems to be quite a bit of powder(relatively speaking) and even CCI 400 SR primers available today. I stopped at a local GS and they had loads of loaded ammo at sky high prices. They even had some Alliant powder, 16, 19, 23 and 26, for, are you sitting down?, 70$ a pound. They had two 8 lb jugs of VIT 50 BMG powder, 400$ each.
I mumbled to my self "you've got to be kidding". A store clerk overheard me and said well, if you want to shoot that's the price. I said, I do but not that bad. No thanks. Disheartening to a degree!!
While I have enough components for about another year, maybe a little longer if I ration my shooting, I may be in a situation where it's: " A Farewell to Arms" for me!
PS: Maybe I'll get into spear hunting.
