Why is ammo going up in cost?
I buy most of my ammo in fairly large lots over the internet, mostly from Natchez Shooting Supply, but I get catalogs from other companies (such as Cheaper Than Dirt) and every 2 months it seems, ammo prices keep going up. What is going on? Is it just general costs of producing? Obama? or something else?
As an aside, I buy many different brands of ammo and my wife's Glock 23 won't always fire Wolf rounds (Russian made), but my 23 never has a problem (note: this is practice ammo - not serious carry ammo). Has any one else run into this problem? Otherwise Wolf works well enough in our .45's and 9's. Is there anything I should know about using Wolf?

No more Wolf ammo for the TampaSsgt!! :thumsupWould this also be the case for Wolf ammo in an AR and a 1911?
Yes sir, the steel cased ammo on a chrome lined chamber on an AR is like taking a piece of rebar and dragging it across your chrome lined bumper on your car. Once the chrome lining starts to chip, the accuracy will drop off very quickly on that barrel.

Brownie,I've got 30K in 9mm 115 grain fmj heads, 10K in 45acp 230 rnl heads, 40#'s of powder, 30k+ small pistol primers [ 9mm ] and 12K+ large pistol primers [ 45acp ] with a dillon 550 with two different heads set up to load both calibers without having to change caliber turrets or readjust die settings, etc waiting in the wings should I need to re-start the reloading equipment back up in the future.
I've bought and used reloads for years from a buddy of mine, then bought the press and all the equipment necessary about 8 years ago to load my own which I did for several years before moving out to Az. I didn't bother resetting it up, but it's ready to go should I need to in the future.

Do you have any opinion on the Lyman T-Mag 2 Turret Press?
I know the Dillon is a quality reloader, I just wondered how the Lyman's were?
