How to Lower Powder and Primer Prices?

In a nutshell; here is the deal. Double the price of powder or primers. You need only then sell half as much to enjoy the same profit margins. Hodgdon is the worst thing to happen to the free market powder industry ever. Ever! E-V-E-R!!!!!!!!!

I would have thought this thread would have been only a few posts long, because this statement here pretty much sums up the situation.

PS: we don't need to drill. We probably have 10000 wells in Oklahoma sitting there perfectly operational. With enough pipeline cross crossing this state to cover Rhode Island in steel. Just sitting there. The lie that we ran out of oil is just that. A big fat lie. BTW, the price of oil is not set by supply (so drilling would do nothing). It's set by speculators in London (not Americans). The oil industry is a controlled monopoly. Just like the powder industry. Ironically. The oil industry is also not nationalized in the US. So, the president has no control over the price of gasoline at all.

"Oil prices in London are primarily determined by the trading of Brent Crude Oil, which is one of the most important reference oils globally. Brent Crude is a light, sweet crude oil extracted from the North Sea and is widely used as a benchmark for pricing other types of crude oil. The International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) in London, now part of the InterContinental Exchange (ICE), is the main trading venue for Brent Crude Oil futures contracts.

The price of Brent Crude Oil is influenced by various factors, including supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and economic conditions. Speculators and hedgers play a significant role in the market, with speculators betting on price movements and hedgers managing risk in the production or consumption of oil.

In summary, the price of oil in London is set through the trading of Brent Crude Oil futures on the ICE, reflecting global supply and demand conditions and market expectations"


In summary, we could be awash in oil, and if the speculators in London say it costs $200 a barrel that is what it would cost. You could literally poke a hole in the ground in your front yard and have a well pumping oil and you would not be allowed to set the price.

That's about 375/1000. Last Saturday I was at an auction where dozens of cases(various brands of 223/556) sold, most of it between 250 and 300/1000. I didn't buy any, do not have enough cash to play around in 5+ case lots. Dealers(I knew a couple) weren't buying at those prices.
 
Is the Hornady Frontier LC? I seen that deal.

It is LC manufacture with no primer crimp using Hornady bullets. I've been trying to get people to buy this stuff for years as I sell them in my store.

The 55 HP match and 75 HP MATCH shoot very well.

What is the headstamp on that Frontier ammo? LC or Frontier?
