    Most of our powders have only doubled in price. It's the primers that have gone retarded. Loaded ammo too, but I don't buy much of that.

    I haven't seen trail boss on a shelf or online here since before the pandemic, same for just about all the Australianicon made rifle powders too. They started to creep back on the shelves a few months ago though. I landed x2 8lb containers of Varget at Cabela's on Black Friday. I saw 1lb containers online last summer, with limit x5. Funny though, powder on the shelf and online stores is pretty much at pre-pandemic prices. As others have said, primers are back but not keeping pace with inflation in the least. Haven't seen large rifle primers at all, but pistols and small rifles are aplenty now, prices notwithstanding.
