Just got my new Cabela's Shooting and reloading catalog fo 2007. While Cabela's has never been the place to save money on reloading supplies, I almost swallowed my olive when I compared this book to the last one, Fall 2006. MEC Grabbers went up $55(19%), Winchester primers, up $10 per M(33%), WAA12L wads, up $1.50 per 250(27%) and Remington 28 ga. wads, up $3.50 per 500(28%). Didn't take the Democrats long, did it?

Why blame the Democrats? Prices for shells and reloading supplies have been going up for more than a year as the Petro prices went up. Blame global warming on them because they are full of hot air.

Shot also went up in Cabela's, from $28.00 to $32.00. But like KY Jon said with the price of fuel going up, everything else will reflect it.

It's not just fuel prices that have gone up. Metal is sky-high right now. I was talking to a guy the other day that is scrapping out old wire for the copper. He got $2.25/lb at the local scrap buyer. When I was in college (10 yrs ago) I was selling copper for .65/lb and that was the highest it had been at the time. Fuel is high, but it's not the only culprit.

Welcome to the cost of all those containers from China. I firmly believe that Nancy, Barbra, and Hillary are planning to solve the price problem on shooting components.

Why NOT blame the Democrats? If they were all Christian gun owners, they would blame President Bush!

Other than lead the cost of the commodities used to make reloading components are a very small percentage of the selling price. They are up but nowhere near the amounts to justify these kinds of increases.
I suspect these prices are riding on the back of the surge in the price of lead and once a few manufacturers start to move up the others join in and get their increases at a time when the buyers are prepped to accept them as inevitable.
As a professional buyer I saw this a lot. Manufacturers had pent up demand to increase prices and the decision on the timing of price increases had a lot of thought put into it. So some of these increases may be needed or they may be opportunistic, but don't be surprised if they all come at about the same time....
I'm waiting to see when the price of cheap promo loads shoots up.......

I was just told this morning that the wholesale price of ammo just went up $2-3$ a box. The politicians don't have to do away with guns, just raise ammo so high we can't afford it.
