November 7, 201214 yr Anyone notice it when he won in 2008? I've only been reloading a little over a year or so. Shooting for a little over 2. So not sure how the election/politics affect pricing on reloading components. Everyone is saying ammo prices will go up, so just seeing if this carries over to reloading supplies as well.
November 7, 201214 yr good question I assumed we would be safe and the factory buyers would be fugg.. i gotta start stocking up.
November 7, 201214 yr Just start stocking up, who knows. He may turn moderate, or he may go all out. Stock up on a few years of components, a few more AR lowers, a few more mags.
November 7, 201214 yr I think the immediate price jumps will be for loaded ammo. Should take a few months for component prices to go up. I will likely grab a jug or two of powder and perhaps 2 cases of primers. After that I'm stocked for a LOOOOOOONG time.
November 7, 201214 yr A case of primers will last you 4 years.... We all know you don't shoot..... Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
November 7, 201214 yr Retail outlets will see a jump in reloading component prices. The high volume component sellers and component manufacturers that sell direct usually try to contain the price as long as raw materials, labor, and energy aren't going up. They do however start having inventory issues. I think their prices will rise though unless we see some major recovery of the economy or really bad news for other large economies. A weak dollar isn't good for commodity prices. Also, the 2015 bidding price for coal powered energy based on Obama's punitive policies will see folks enjoying cheap coal power having their electricity cost go up 3-6x current rates and the cost will be passed on.
November 18, 201213 yr Just start stocking up, who knows. He may turn moderate, or he may go all out. Stock up on a few years of components, a few more AR lowers, a few more mags. I'm with you. I've been buying powder, primer, projects and ar parts like crazy the past few weeks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

November 19, 201213 yr I have been stocking up a little, but the stores seem to have a larger inventory of components than any time I've seen in the past 4 years. I was at Cabelas a week ago, and they had more primers, powder and brass than I've ever seen them have. (On the other hand, their bullet inventory is reduced, but that seemed to be a shelf-usage decision. They shrank the bullet shelves into a smaller space, I think to make more room for loaded ammo).
