I was thinking out loud on someone else’s thread and decided to start one on the subject.
My favorite ammo place finally posted info about the ammo price increase. As far as I can tell it is only affecting domestic choices but I’m still not 100% on that. I buy ammo in bulk and in SG shells its 250 00B and 250 slugs usually. Before hearing of the price hike a couple of months ago my next 250 was going to be flight control. Right now I can get 250 for 195 shipped $.78 Ea. I can get Rio for 120 shipped $.48 Ea. After a quick talk with them they said they weren’t sure but think 250 of the flight control might be around $200 before shipping while the Rio will remain the same price. 20 years ago 00 was cheap, It depresses me to think what it will be 10 years from now
Enough is enough for me and have been considering barrel work effective in tightening patterns…..even open to chokes. Ammo prices aren’t getting cheaper and probably won’t be so the barrel work is sounding better and better …..Maybe I should look into reloading but that gets spendy between equipment and material to make nice FC clones
I would like to hear your thoughts
