Who said prices will go up? Why does everyone think Hiliary is going to win?

Just the nature of the world. The price of most everything goes up over time. Tech-type stuff being one of the few exceptions I am aware of. |

Actually, that would be a good thing to model. If anyone has a wide array of data from say 1960 on pricing, it would be interesting to see how the then cost compares to the now cost. Keep in mind the Dollar gets deflated over time, so you cannot compare price to price. I know everyone know that to be true, but to see the actual numbers is generally a big eye-opener.

As Ron pointed out, the price adjusted cost of ammo might actually surprise us. Don't know the answer, but I would suspect some is still cheaper than it was in the 60's and some more expensive, depending on availability and demand, with the key being demand.

Ron, for a quick and dirty estimate, the Consumer Price Index Calculator will open your eyes. It is not just for ammo, but all "normal" consumer goods. And when you look at all the money that the current administration has been printing money (wide open presses), it is not surprising.
Do some what-ifs with the calculator. http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc....980&year2=2016 |

that price calculator is pretty close. I'll dig out my old receipts to get a factual price but I believe my $3 a box 270 bullets to be purchased in 1970 and it came out to $18 today.
Edit: so I got to thinking if prices/buying power are the same today as the 60s and 70s then all this new technology has either not gained us much or the profit margin is larger today?? The minimum wage went to $1.00 an hour effective February 1967 for newly covered nonfarm workers, $1.15 in February 1968, $1.30 in February 1969, $1.45 in February 1970, and $1.60 in February 1971. Increases for newly subject farm workers stopped at $1.30. 1971-$1.60 2016-$9.51

microgun- polished brass, still primed @ .08. lotta work tho. can suck to deprime, then deburr primer pocket, bout $30 rcbs deburr tool for case-prep center. sore fingers. bullets bout a dime, .02-.03 primer. I just bought 5,000 for $50, Russian, should've bought much more. dumb, dumb, dumb. they work fine. pigs don't care. powder cost i'm not sure, a dime? lets say bout .35. time value?. if you just like to pull the trigger, picking up brass is worth it. ar reloading has it's quirks to s.s. and bolt guns. if i'm giving .35 x 100 rnds = $35. keep your brass, now your around.25 x 100 = $25. brownells good brass deflectors favored on helicoptors. I bought my brass 3 years ago from Ed's Brass and Reloaders. usually twice as much but all prepped. saw it in brownells couple years ago. good luck- honest hop
