ADI Propellant Update

[Oldbloke]

Even $78 is a bit much IMO.

If I think a shop is ripping me of, I just walk out and either look elsewhere or wait.

[Zappa]

Does anyone have an update on the ADI pistol powders ? They were due for release about now

Just waiting for the release of trailboss and APS onto the market and watch them pensioners nest egg evaporate in smoke.

Still pushing $1000 for a tub of trailboss, $0.40 for large r8fle primers

BS. My LGS had LRPS for $22/100 couple of weeks ago.

Yep prices have come down on primers. Next is powder. Some still clinging on the classifieds.

[mickb]

$220 is still 300% too high for primers, long way to go yet. Im betting they will never drop below double the old price. The price of every day items has doubled since covid so $120-150 for primers probably works out...

[deye243]

And one shop in Vic was $180 so I suppose that proves its the shops gouging us not distributors.

Grab a receipt, name and shame them.
If they get supply, many just sell to their regulars or under the counter\ side for inflated prices.

I won't be getting a receipt as I have more than I can use .

Agreed.

[on_one_wheel]

Such a shame people are willing to pay those prices.
If everyone refused to buy overpriced things, prices would drop dramatically.

I call it "voting with your wallet"

The manufacturers and suppliers are running out of excuses, its clearly nothing but price gouging.

[Oldbloke]

Pre covid I paid $45 / 1000
Still got plenty.
They need to come down a loooong way before I buy more.

Edit: it will be interesting how far they come down.
This happens every 6-7 years, but this is the worst I recall. I'm hoping they will get down to about $100/1000.

Some Pistol guys have just gotta shoot, I sold 2 open bottles of Trail boss last month for what I advertised it for, had at least 6 QLDers try and buy them but I wasnt willing to risk shipping..

[deye243]

If I were you lot I'd be buying all you can get because when that retard Harris gets in prices are going to go up another 100% and that's for everything

Well sounds like at least ADI is working on bringing the pistol and shotgun powders into production, so hopefully there will be good news soon.

[Oldbloke]

Just keep in mind they have overseas contracts to fill also. Soo, I wouldn't count on much till after Xmas.

And that’s with everything in our country. Local big business and corporate are screwing us . Lots of imported items are now super expensive because the cost of shipping containers into the country is 4 times what it used to be. I’ve heard this from multiple sources. Guess who owns the bulk of the container ships in the world, china. As a country we import more than exports. So shipping to Australia isn’t really profitable. When truckies do an interstate run they get a return load otherwise they’re running at a loss . International shipping is no different. A lot of people think conspiracies are behind everything these days. It’s much simpler, money

Well either way, you still get that "burning" sensation.

Ya gotta laugh.

Imagine the tonnage that they will have to put into Aussie gun shops to satiate the demand.

What for the Aussie market hmmmm about 3 of aps950 and 6 ton of 2205 would do it our market is just .02 % of the world market according to NIOA .
Remember bugger all shooters in this country reload .

[Larry]

Last time I bought primers was BLM moment in time I could see that sparking things in the US and hence here so I stocked up. The primers I bought were all the high end type Gold medal Match and BR4 type stuff they were about $60-$70 range per 10000 at the time. I agree we will never see those prices again unless there are some other economic factors bugger the world up. Yes very few reload in any real quantities really only professional and target shooters that shoot every week.
