More crazy from the interwebs!



Redumbo magnum powder- 8lbs for over $1,600 (normally $230 for an 8lb jug)



Misurp rifle primers- $1,600 for 5,000 primers (normally about $150)



Rem 5R 20" .308- $1,700 (I watched one go for over $2,000 on GB) I bought mine new, after Rem discount for 1/3rd that cost.


For this kind of money I'm seriously thinking of cashing out with my primers, certain rifles I don't hunt with, powders I can live without.. Man I could make serious bank at these stupid prices people are willing to pay!

I really wonder when, and if, it will come to an end.

That is CRAZY !!

If you can get 8 - 10X of normal prices by selling it, I'd to it.

I don't expect it to; it's taken on a life of its own.

It'll end. Manufacturers aren't raising the prices to that level. It's scalpers.

Some stand-up places are trying to curb them. From Powder Valley- a place I get quite a bit of stuff from-

The battle is tough but some people just don't care. I hate it. I really do. Today we had to block a few persons from accessing our website. We also had to cancel over $20,000 in orders. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. We could have let those orders go through. But, we didn't. It cost us over $1,200 to cancel those orders. Each credit card transaction costs us about 3%. Figure in that running the card cost us 3% and then crediting the transaction cost us another 3%.

How many statements do we need to put on our website? How many places do we need to put where you have to agree to the daily and individual limitations. People try to act all slick willy and figure out ways around the limitations we've placed and then act all coy like they had no idea.......

Come on folks. I may look like an idiot but most of the time I'm not and this ain't my first rodeo. Heck folks, I've even had people contact me and ask for me to charge them 10% more than our listed price and allow them to purchase $50,000 to $100,000 worth of powder per month. We're not going to do it folks. I've said this over and over. We're here because we're shooters supporting shooters. We need to work together through this!
I won't buy from scalpers. I just bought 8lbs of IMR 7828 SSC and some Tightgroup all at normal prices from a reputable place on line. I also got 8lbs of MagPro for $183 plus $25 hazmat and shipping. If everyone just shut down paying these stupid scalper prices they'd fall in short order.

Glad to hear this, thanks for posting it. Idiot scalpers.

Sportsman’s whorehouse had some ammo in stock. .308, 7mm mag. Also had some primers. I bought 1 box of Federal small pistol magnum primers (1,000) for $40.00. Very few powders. They got their shipment in yesterday and got a smattering of 1lb jugs. One of which was H1000 but it sold. That’s my 7mm mag preferred powder, dang.

Just bought 200 6.5mm 143gr Hornady ELD-X bullets this morning.

Looks like stock is starting to come back.
