if you don't like the price don't buy, i don't see where its going to get better like the old days those days are gone. you should buy what you want and what makes you happy cause tomorrow it will be more expensive. so you can count your money instead of shooting something you like. i also didn't think I'd be paying 100 bucks for primers but I'll pay what it takes to make my reloads cause i love too shoot! my treasures that I've been buying
