Would you really pay this much?

Just curious how many people would pay this much for reloading supplies? Be a cold day in he!! before I'd stoop to these kind of prices. Take an awful lot of shooting to use up what I've got, so.... it's not really fair for me to pass judgement when I have ALOT in reserve,...guess like everything else, if your just starting out it's gonna be tough.
Got a buddy (also the owner of the local gunshop) who's convinced it's the "nobama" henchmen buying and driving the supplies with gov funds.

Patience is the key. Too many guys are getting all reved up because they can't get stuff & there is always some opportunistic bastard out there willing to take their money. Just order where you can & wait. I just got 5K of my primer order from the end of March. Stuff is out there, but panic price buying like GB is just stupid & only feeds the the O.Bs.

Yep.

They are buying all they can find knowing somebody out there will pay the upped price.

Where did you order from. I have a stock and can wait to get more. I just need a place that will take an order.

I ordered from Graf's, 5K CCILP & 5K CCISP. The LP have not come in yet & no target date. SO I'll have to pay 2 HM fees. I don't need them, but I have no idea how long this "shortage" is going to last. It could very well go until 11/2010 elections.

jefo1,

Try taking the first "http://" out of your links.

A Brick of CCI #400 Small Rifle Primers (1000 ct.) : Supplies at GunBroker.com

5 POUNDS ( 5 LBS ) HODGDON VARGET POWDER - FRESH : Supplies at GunBroker.com

Apparently there are people crazy enough to pay those prices. And there are people crazy enough to risk the fines and possible jail time for illegal shipping of the hazmat. I'm not one of them.
