So thousands of our customers have been around for 10+ years. To the tune of 12,000 customers/members. Most are from Facebook, some from other online sites.
In all the years I have been doing this, I always give a heads up when things will get crazy in the reloading world, based on historical data, personal experiences, dealer chatter, etc.
A lot of you have been around awhile, but we all get complacent as days, weeks, and years drag on. It is human nature.
I warned about the last 3-6 HUGE runs on reloading components, and maybe 10% of the people listened and got in early. 90% didn't, then were the ones complaining about the supply, demand, and general price increases throughout our reloading world.

I am here to tell you, things are plentiful, and cheap now (Brass, Bullets, Powder) "NOT PRIMERS" but they are coming down slowly.
We are right on the edge where we are going to see supplies of all kinds be nonexistent for months, and pending the outcome of the next election, possibly years!!

Starting in January, all the buzz will be about the upcoming election in 2024. No one knows IF Trump will be able to run again, or WHO the Democrats will really back for the next election.
Historically every election year, there are fears about who will be the leader of our country next.
In 2020, a lot of people thought Trump was a sure thing, and didn't stock up on supplies (Primers were $22 per 1000), and others took my advice, and loaded up on cheaper supplies.

The ones who sat back figured out quickly they had messed up, and are now the ones complaining about the state of the reloading industry, especially prices.
The ones who listened and stocked up, are happy they did, and are still loading with components that were a lot cheaper.

At one point, I had NO inventory, or could only open the website for 1-2 hours, as we couldn't keep up with the orders. Nothing was available, costs doubled or tripled, and things were crazy!!

We are at that tipping point again. In an election year, there are people who get what they need, in case the worst happens, or the people who think "Well, nothing may happen and I'll be able to get stuff when ever"

I can tell you, there WILL be a run on everything reloading related, prices will skyrocket, shelves will be empty, right up to the election.
One of 2 things will happen. A democrat will get elected, and shelves will be empty, prices will be high, and we will all feel the pain for another 4 years, OR
A republican will get elected, things will calm down, and within a year or 2, prices will just "Stabilize"

Unfortunately with the way the US has been leaning, I think we will see option 1 happening.

This is just another post, like I have been making for years, and so far, I am batting 100%.

Take it for what you will, but don't be that guy all over the internet complaining about prices, companies you call 'Price Gougers" when they have to try and keep the doors open with limited inventory, etc.
