I miss my reloader.

 

[tomk2]

Me too. So several times a week I go out to the garage and stroke it 50 or 100 times.

when my current stock of components are used up? Not because of current availability, but because of new pricing?

W029 Primers - Last summer $132/5000; Now $240/5000 (Grafs & Sons)
Vectan Powder - This spring $109 / 8 lbs; Now $160 / 8 lbs (Vectan powder no longer being imported, prices for Alliant powders @ Recobs)
Lawrence shot - Last year $40 / 25lbs; Now $44 / 25 lbs (recobs)
Duster Wads - Lat year $103 / 5000; Now $120 /5000 (Grafs)

I have enough to last me until fall of 2022, but at the new prices it's $6.42/box. ( 1 1/8oz loads). At previous prices, it was $5.04/box. I guess if shell are up @ $8/box it's a good deal.

I would find a new supplier.

What kind of loader are you going to sell next fall??? how many powder bushings, and misc. do you have as well? break em all jeff

 

[Mr. D]

If it's a Spolar PM me when your done.

 

[smokintom]

Whether you are done reloading is up to you. Me? I'm going to keep on reloading

 

[smokintom]

Or as stated above, find another supplier.

I just saw 8lb Tightwad for $122 8lb keg. It just depends on who you deal with.

All of us who reload will need to avoid hoarding and paying unreasonable prices. Yes, the supply and demand will dictate prices.

I’m just getting started, well when I can get shot and primers.

I sold my reloading gear once. I ended up replacing almost all of it several years later. It seems like I ended up paying about twice a much as got for the old gear. I reloaded almost everything for a while.

I have been shooting store bought ammo again, but am not selling my reloading gear. It costs nothing to sit on the shelf in boxes, and it is right there if and when I run out of new ammo.

So True.
I have 4 9000's and a Grabber converted to Hydro. Cost me less than $2000.oo bought new. I am not sure you can buy 2 for that price today. They don't eat or complain. Always there when I need them. .

Or to require a palm shaver.

I'll stop shooting when I stop reloading. Just can't buy the ideal shell for me.

$240/sleeve @Graf & Sons for Win 209s? They are not my favorite supplier at the moment, but for other reasons. They seem to be taking advantage of the situation and it's a big turn-off for me. I've relied on them in the past but they are on shaky ground right now.

My supplier has decent prices when your in a bind, he weighs out the powder and puts them in little plastic baggies for me.... all I have to do is send him a page to his beeper and he calls back with where to meet up.

Most suppliers put the powder in a balloon.

Yea man, told him I’m not cool with that cause they smell gross. Guess it’s the balloon material
