So people that already had their orders in are going to see a price increase after the fact? If the order is in before the January deadline of the price increase, then how is a price increase justified if the order has been purchased but is shipped after the deadline?

Looks like I'll have to start a business and find a way to make ammunition, fees, etc a business expense . This is way out of hand.

Okay I've already got caught up in the hype. Went and placed an order of 5K primers, 3k of SP CCI 500 and 2k of Ginex LR. Used this outfit Republic Ammunition - Your Source for Brass and Reloading Components . The GInex LR is made as a 7.62 primer and supposedly hard enough to prevent slamfires, have read a number of positive reviews about them, we will see as I want to used them to reload for the M1a. With tax, shipping and hazmat the average price per was between $.09 & $.10.
