What $500 got me yesterday

[Hntnhrd]

Stopped into our local Scheels store. They still have small rifle primers for $69.99 so I grabbed one of those. They had just stocked the shelves with 95 grain Bergers which I wanted to try in my 6mm Remington. And as I was looking at brass one of the guys wheels up a cart full of alliant powder. Wasn’t planing on spending $480 but I haven’t seen reloader 15 or 19 in 3 plus years anywhere. And it was $12 a pound cheaper then I have seen reloader powders online. But tell me again how inflation is going down.

Couldn't help but notice the Christmas table cover, does it mean anything?

Grand kids have been coming over and doing school projects. My wife didn’t want to ruin her Valentine’s Day table cover!! Her frugalness allows me to buy reloading supplies!!

I'm in a hold position right now. I spent a bunch on bullets to match up my primer and powder stock. Now I'm just loading and shooting for a while.

If it doesn't improve, I'll shoot less.

It's only "green paper".

Also, a year from now it may not be worth $250 in purchasing power in the shooting sports the way prices are trending.

Nice stash! Go have fun, life is short!

sounds like u did good— Since I moved from ND to IN 10 years ago I sure miss Sheels— few weeks ago i finally bought some primers - first bunch since the big price increases and i spent 500 on them alone

Seems there is a lot of Reloader 15, 22 and others which have been hard to find coming out there now. I saw a bunch on either Midsouth or Natchez the other day. They even had some Federal large rifle match primers.

Buying reloading supplies now is like going grocery shopping. In both cases, you only get one bag for $100 vs 3 bags a year or two ago.

 

[Cecil S.]

Yeah I would have added that to my stock! Good find.

 

[Field_2_Fork]

A haul like that would be around $900 here in The Great White North, if you could find it!

Just another way to disarm the good ol freedom fighting folks. EPA is a POS set up to destroy what the government allows and wants gone.

Up here in Canada is even worst. Like 1000 % worst.
Thus I don't blame USA citizens for wanting to stock up before it's too late.

Don't even look at the cost of new pickup trucks.

Don't even look at the cost of new pickup trucks.

Just a cab-chassis 4x4 non-diesel cost us 57k. Crazy!
The old ones do wear out after 10 years or so regardless though.

That’s why I am holding on to my 2006 ram 3500 with 310k mikes on it!

Yeah and the one bag may not even be full
