Yeah, I order from them a lot....
Pretty sure they are just passing on their price increases from their suppliers and I doubt they are using that as a reason to raise their own prices to higher profit margins...
say like our local gas stations here in Oregon...
Fuel goes up 5 cents a gallon, and they set the price up 10 cents...

my experience also.... consistently lower price overall, if you are ordering multiple kinds of powder IME.. Other places may run a sale on a particular powder. Sycamore

Wait a minute. That's not how Obummer told me it works. He raises taxes/fees and the business owners just say "thank you Sir, may I have another!"

Most folks are happy to receive a pay increase. No?

Usually prices go up when there is high demand and lower when there is less demand.

I would think they're trying to stay at current profit margins because the massive volume of making a little on a lot will be gone, I've even heard of people actually buying a couple three four boxes of 22 mag ammo!
