Reloading supplies Cost increases

[Poppa1]

Good day all. Been gone a minute , I got a bad habit of dying or trying to.
Ive been reading up a lot and trying to get up to speed. After finishing the 338 lapua build last year I decided to drop dead in the yard and go for number 6 heart attack and trip 2 over the dark divide. Just cant seem to get it right.
My question today is about Powder pill and brass costs.
is too late for me to take a drive an snatch up some power brass etc ?
Im only slack on supplies for the 338 lapua 60 rnds and 30.06 120 rnds.
My main concern is powder. Im not sure we make or have all of the components to manufacture it here in the states.
Educate me please,
and thanks all of you.
hoping this isnt a reduntant post

If you can afford it it's not too late IMO. I did the same last week.

All the components should be easy to come by. If your worried about powder I would look at Vihtavuori powders. N570 is a go to for 338 LM.

Vihtavuori N570 Smokeless Gun Powder

Reload your ammunition with Vihtavuori N570 smokeless powder from Powder Valley. Experienced reloaders know that using premium powder is the key to consistency.

Brass and the other components are out there if you look. Good luck

I finished up a carton of 215M primers last night. As I was throwing the empty carton away I noticed the price sticker on the box (zoom in to see it). I always use a Sharpie to mark my components with the purchase date when I buy them so I can rotate stock. The date I had written on this box (other side, so not visible in the pic) is 9/20.

Sorry to hear about your health issue. Since the pandemic prices on reloading supplies have been out of control. Access to components has increased cost, some because of supply, some because of greed. It is the old rule of supply and demand. When supply is short prices increase. When demand drops, supply increases, and prices drop. It is simple, if you NEED components your only solution is to pay the price. If you don't NEED the components, then as the supply increases, the prices will begin to drop.

I say do what you need to do to increase your health and everything else is immaterial.
