Not sure what caused the price increase. According to the little store where I get them, he said the company claims they just don't have them in stock. You'd think if people were calling a business for something I produce, I would bring in an extra shift if I had to, to make up the supply. I sometimes think these companies hold off on supplies to drive the price up, get us used to paying that, and then release their stock pile.

Bullets did the same thing. For the longest time you couldn't get certain muzzleloader bullets. One reason I went back and cast my own. Just a crazy market out there.
