Well it had to happen I guess. With the outrageous price of fuel, truck drivers and companies must be hurting. It only makes sense that they have to raise their rates, the stores then raise their costs, the companies they use to ship the products to us raise their rates, and our salaries go down, and taxes up... Great economy we got going on here..
I would suggest if you shoot a lot, to purchase all you can and stock pile. Have you noticed the cost increase of just UPS and Fed Ex lately? I for one just bought over $100.00 worth of Barnes Expanders, and intend on getting a few boxes of other bullets and sabots. Otherwise it gets hard to play. The rest I can cast myself at home...

Yes I have been stocking up for years on ammo for my 270, 357mag, 44mag, and my 45-70. I reload my own. Untill this Country becomes independent on oil, and stops relying on other countriesI am afraid prices on every thing will continue to go up and up,This is only my opinion of course, but thier is so much oil in our own Country, let's go get it.

I'm with you DCH. Drill in Anwar, drill off the Florida coast, drill off the California coast.
Thoseliberal crybabies who keep shouting "Bush's war" and decry the state of the economy are the same ones who keep us from using the resources we have available and knocking the poop out of mid-east oil prices.

GEESE starting to sound like a John McCain speach.
Truckers go the shaft back in the 70's with fuel cost. they learned to write in surcharges for fuel cost increases that is why they haven't parked the trucks with $4.45 fuel cost today. But the extra shipping cost does getmarket up on the products we buy.
If there isn'tsome thing done soon on the cost of fuel take a guess at what honey will cost this fall? some thing like $12.00 a pound. Wax will be much more too.

i think it has more to do with the demand of china and other third world countriesfor metals b/c they are growing at such a rate the demand for the metals, grains, fuels, fertilizers, all commodities is huge, thus driving up the price. The weak dollar has a part. Fuel price going up has some but not all of the increase explained
Another raise in ammo cost..
