I've watched it slowly but steadily come down.main thing availability then it's coming down.
Idk? Everything is looking like a pretty good trend to me. consistently more availability then prices are coming down.heat of summer
I'm actually seeing deals compared to few years ago.

Maybe I'm getting all the good e-mails

I'll take it.lol
 
could be distributors front running inventories before tariffs. Not stirring stuff up but this might be the sweet spot to put a little back. Seems like most tariffs could land around 15% by end of year. Picked up what seemed reasonable priced rl15.5 and n555 from Natchez this week along with cci450s,250s, and fed 205ms

Bout all I can stand but I bet I’ll be glad I did by year end..

Yep, I WAS thinking about buying a new rifle
Maybe I better stock up on primers instead would be a wiser choice
rifles no good without ammo components
 
Some of those prices could be worth buying and bringing into Canada even if I double cost like normal, depending on tariffs and frt of course, double costing usually takes care of frt OK, tariffs, who the hell knows from one minute to the next, if it isn't the US, it's Cdn. with the attitude of Lib gov't towards anything to do with firearms, probably have their own on it too. Depending on std primers vs BR, as low as 8.00/c to 16.00/c, gougers are 20.00/c or so, all Cdn bucks. 96.99 Cdn isn't terrible for powders up here, last I bought RL16 or 26 at, was 60-65.00 Cdn, 3-4 yrs ago. May have been H4350 I looked at last wk, about 75.00/lb in an 8 lb.

I've been going to Widden's twice a year since this powder primer hike up has been going on. I usually pick up 2-3 8lb. jugs and some. 22lr ammo. My last trip was just before the price on the powders went up $15.00 an 8lb jug. I'm referring to 133, 135, 140. Before John had a price increase the prices remained at $272.99 for around 2 years while all the other brands were skyrocketing! It's a nice trip, leave between 9-10am, get there shoot the bull with everything, make our purchases and head home while stopping somewhere for lunch. It's a good day.

My buddy and I made the trip today. We met at 9am took a nice leisurely ride there, talked to the fellas there, purchased our powders and headed back towards home. We stopped in Live Oak for some lunch at Big Woods BBQ. I was back at home by 2:30. Always a nice little trip.
 
snod85 I am not sure how most of the tariff stuff works or will work out, but how is something made here and sold here going to be affected by a tariff? Is there some aspect to this that will come into play with made here, sold here, bought here that i am missing?
