Okie-Glocker Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Looks like the Zero 125gr JHP at Ghost holster has gone up 10% or so ($16 per 3K). Not too bad I suppose. This particular bullet is still on backorder at Ghost and Powder Valley. I spoke with the fine folks at the Zero plant yesterday and said they just began a new "run" on producing the 125gr JHP. PV hopes to have them in stock next week and I managed to get in on the backorder waiting list to lock in the old price. The PV folks told me that as soon as they sell all of this next batch, that they would have to bump up the price (how much he wouldn't say). I have heard rumors locally that there will be another price increase on loaded ammo and components accross the board around May 07 to the tune of 40% (Good Lord, I hope not! ). This is not confirmed of course but wanted to see what you guys have heard in other parts of the country. Thanks, Okie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 As a raw material, lead was more expensive in November 2006 than it is now. Not sure why the big rumored price increases...unless manufacturers have worked through their stockpiles and are only now raising prices, which would be surprising since we have been seeing substantial price increases throughout the last year or more. http://www.kitconet.com/charts/metals/base...ad-1y-Large.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding, I got 2500 Zero's last week, and they are nearly gone. I think someone is raiding my supply!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecichlid Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Bullets are like gas, no matter how much we may gripe about the price, we still have to buy them. lol I guess I will just have to stock pile my bullets and primers soon. Anyone need a lightly used kidney? Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
