Price of powder. Eeeeck

[Mr. Jeffery]

Double penetration with no lube.

I was looking to buy some CCI .22 ammo and believe it or not a brick (500rounds) is $80.99+tax. So 1,000 rounds of .22 is $161.98+tax. About 8-10 years ago it was 15-20 a brick.

I wish I could find some 22WMR that was priced appropriately. But no... Im going to take apart a 22wmr and a 22 LR and then weight everything so as to compare the actual costs of it all. Wanna guess which will be the "better deal" so to say?

its all a clever ploy called supply and demand... cut the supply and demand goes up.. charge what you want... since they are all greedy barstads you can imagine how this works out...
you cannot simply wait for them to lower the price and then buy it.. cuz they can out wait you. Any day of the week they can out wait you..... You cannot complain cuz they just dont care... and will stop making the stuff. This isnt just in found in the bullet and powder store.. its everywhere... since when is a loaf of bread worth 3-5 bucks?!? It should be the other way around really.. More people means more sales.... Right? Oh..! Wait!! MORE PEOPLE MEANS MORE SALES!!! MUuuuuWHAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Satans minions do us over on every plane... I just dont buy things anymore... not unless I really have too. and it bothers me that I cannot go out for a good session of recoil therapy without it costing me a small fortune...

How would you feel about 8 bucks a pound for black powder? I'll get out my time machine.... Price of admission to my time machine....97.00/Hr. ~sigh~

Thanks Ted, I appreciate the heads up but it was just an example.

Cheers,

Bad business practice imo to charge what other retailers have at less than half that price. I try not to buy from places like that. PM me the name of that place if you don't mind.

Coreyd, again, most probably the stuff nobody wants. Cheapest powder I have seen anywhere in the country for an 8# of H4350 is $280 and that was in Ontario. And they sold out of it pretty quickly. So where you are buying it for $31 is beyond me... For the "wanted" powders anyway.

I bought 21 14oz containers of clays for $32 per jug and then some 8lb jugs of clays for $204 each because nobody wants clays. So where I buy it are a couple of well known places with their prices listed on their website and also the two largest powder importers in Canada so ya it still sucks for you.
