This is the # 1 Reason I WILL NOT support LGS's PRICE Gouging --A small but efficient local shop was owned by the same owner for 30 + years and he bought his primers,powder off of the same Dist as all others.
For years he sold ALL of his IMR powders @ 25 a lb even dist were that price or a little higher he sold it to another local who kept it at 25 and finally raised it to 30. a pound always had primers @ 3-4 per hundred with a reasonable limit. Unfortunately the 2nd owner just passed away within the last month.
I shoot 5 rimfire calibers and load for more than a dozen center fires
The other shops were and still are Gouging with double sometimes triple retail prices
I like a lot others have went through these shortages and @ 73 I have access to enough ammo (Rimfires ) primers ,powder and bullets to last a 3 lifetimes as when the shortages relaxed I bought MORE that I needed-call me a hoarder DON'T care

Yes, you read that right, a 15% loss. I would have broke even but I made a mistake on the 7mm 140gr NBTs. I bought them in 100ct boxes and sold the first 19 boxes for $30ea. Then I was informed by someone that I was selling them too cheap. I raised the price to $50/100 after seeing Midway's price was $57/100.
Please help me wrap my mind around this "substantial profit" you speak of. You're doing just exactly what you and others advise against. You're assuming you know what someone paid. I bought almost all my bulk components during the Obama times and paid a premium for them. of this makes any sense. You want me to believe that you bought all these components for a "premium" during the Obama years, only to sit on them 4-6+ years and then suddenly decide to sell at a 15% loss during the greatest panic buy in the history of the country?? I couldn't care less how much you paid for any of it, or how much you sell it for....its just comically hypocritical that you complain about the prices of others when you are doing the exact same thing. You may get some altruistic/warm fuzzy feeling because you're not charging quite as much, but you are no different than any of them...actually, you're worse.

I called LG Outdoors customer service and asked why they were asking so much when other companies were asking $59. They didn't have a reason. I told them I wouldn't shop there anymore. I would have to check but Sportsmans Warehouse was still selling bricks for $23 about 6 weeks ago, maybe a little more. Price hadnt changed in over a year.

Just checked the website... still that price. I hope to get some in the morning. Going to have to stand in line. They had them last weekend but I was snowmobiling.
