Is this the new normal?

Finally I walk into the gun shops around here and the shelf’s are full of primers, powder, and bullets. They are not disappearing off the shelf’s as soon as they are stocked. I am thinking the drought just may be over.

Problem is that prices have not dropped like I thought they would. I never figured prices would go back to pre Covid days, but I did not think prices would stay this high. Powder used to be $30 -$35 a pound, primers $35 - $40 per thousand. Today powder is $45 - -$55 per pound, primers are $80 per thousand.

I ask again, is this the new normal?
