RE: wow, what a price jump
Everythings going up! I work in the food business as a rep and have seen very, very significant price increases over probably the last year and a half or so. I'm not sure if it's the oil prices/gas prices driving it or not but everything is going UP, UP, UP!
As far as ammo, I need to buy a box of ammo for my Rem. 7mm. Paid somewhere around 17-18 bucks for a box probably 3 years ago. I think the latest price I saw was around 27 bucks for the same bullet today and those are just the everyday reminton core-lokt bullets in 150 grains.
