Are you willing to work for 2002 wages?
Is that ripping off whoever pays you?

That is also true, inflation is a biatch of late 😬

I still stand by the fact that suppliers are not going to drastically cut pricing when they know they can easily get more for the product than they had at the previous pre-spike level.

That happens with reloading supplies and ammo every time there's a shortage. The new normal level always settles out well beyond what had been typical prices before.

How do we ever know exactly?
I agree with you.
But there is inflation.

At the same time once you establish a high price customers will pay, while
maintaining the desired cash flow with demand, who wants to sell for less.

Call me lazy and greedy, but I'm all about more money and less work.
Not many want to do more for less.

That's a fact. It's bad business to cut profit while demand is solid.

I work pushing paper/counting beans in manufacturing... logistics has also gone batshit crazy over the past couple years, so that's definitely a factor to some degree as well.

I've been testing those Argentina primers lately and found they're only about 90% reliable with my hammer fired guns. Striker fired about 70% and most of my mouse guns will only ignite about 50% of them. I ended up making a crowned punch for my Lee Ram-Prime which will concave the primers ever so slightly and that did the trick. With that slight concave they are 100% reliable in all my guns with the exception of only a few very light striking mouse guns.

I loaded a bunch in .38 Specials tonight, we'll see how they do in my Colt Officer's Model or K-38 this weekend hopefully.

I've used them (Servicios & Aventuras) for 9mm, range brass, loaded on a Dillon SDB. I've not had any failures, but time will tell. They do seem "hotter" than CCI500.
