Prices went up on Hodgdon

[Cosmic338]

Anyone else notice the prices jumped on the Hodgdon website or is it just me? What was once 26-30$ is now about 40$. I wonder if all these prices will drop again once everything starts to calm down or if they’ll remain the current fixed.

I bet they go higher by the end of next year

I recently bought some Retumbo, H1000, & Varget from a local supplier and paid regular prices...

So, like, when supply is down prices go up? Yes it sucks, and were fucked.

I just fear reloading ammo will no longer have the cost benefit. Wanna load 5.56? Yeah you’ll be loading 1.20$ a round. Not worth it.

The dollar lost 7% of its value in 2020 and when you add in about 3% annual inflation, that probably has something to do with it too.

Do you have a source for this? I'm seeing about a 2% decrease in everything I've read.

7% in 2020 . . . only going to get worse

Reloading ammunition is prohibited in commie land. Even where highly regulated possession of firearms is permitted.

wholly smokes you hit the Tri-fecta

 

[DIBBS]

Maybe they are setting a price point to not compete quite as much with their vendors?

The second the gov starts upping the 0% interest rate (giving money to banks for free) is when you will see mass inflation, especially on things certain parties of people don't want you to have: gas, 2A-related, etc.

 

[Steel head]

Every time there’s been a shortage the prices went up.
I’m sure that trend will continue this time.

I purchase $90k+ worth of components every year for our club inventory. There were 3 price increases last year from manufacturers that we encountered. The first was in March and it was a 6% increase. The second came in August with a 3% increase and the third came in October with another 3% increase. I doubt you'll see pricing come down. They are getting what they are asking and the consumers will have to deal or get out of the game.

 

[acudaowner]

the prices will drop after biden and his pro communist but buddies cut off online sales and removes our 2a rights . Guessing that's after they cheat and win the Georgia run off . then they can have there own version of Night of the Long Knives just like Hitler did except to remove the republicans any anyone that could oppose his desires to sniff little girls , leaving only him to rule the country . lol

The recreational shooting industry/supply chain is full of entrepreneurs and small businesses providing innovative, high quality products and reasonable prices. Of course I am not referring to the ammunition and reloading component supply chain. This chain has gone through a lot of consolidation the past 3 decades and now just a few entities control the entire primer, powder, ammo market. This translates to pricing power! Hodgon owns 80% of the powder supply chain? Vista corp (Speer, CCI, Remington, Federal) and Hornady have most of the ammo supply chain. These businesses will likely not expand asset capacity to meet the current demand, better to raise prices which is less risky.

You will be paying excess of $2.00-3.00 a round for factory loaded when it happens chief.... Still cheaper...

What a world

With the latest stimulus package I expect the feds will print another 2 Trillion that will devalue the dollar further. Google M1 money chart. 3% increases will be childs play in the future. How many times have prices went down in the last 5 years?

My educated guess is inflation will run rampant the next couple years.

The one on left was about a year ago.

Damn... that’s nice. I finally found some H1000 at a nearby store for 39$/#
That’s almost 400$/8#

39x8=312?

I would not be surprised to see prices go up more based on the current demand, i mean people are paying $300 for 1k primers.

The few times i ordered from Hodgdon’s website they already were more expensive than a midwayusa or powdervalley and etc...

I figured in taxes
