It is getting MUCH more expensive to shoot. I've not shot factory ammo in the last 60 years. Started reloading and kept it up, as a hobby. I really haven't done it for cost, although that was my reason for starting in 1960.
Present rifle trend for me is Winchester 348 in a model 71 Winchester. Well, looking for bullets, found some loaded ammo. $7.50 per cartridge

Lets see:
powder $1.44 bullet 1,66 Primer .45 brass 8.50 (if you don't pick up brass) $12.05 Well, you really need to hunt for that spent casing more that track deer!!!! I'm lucky, I have enough pre-pandemic bullets for my big boomers (except 348, which I consider a little boomer). I purchased 500 PPVI bullets for the 9.3x62 for $115. Now have a lifetime of Elk/griz/Lion/cape buffalo/elephant bullets!! LOL

From what I see in local shops reloading components have almost doubled in price.
I think it's because they saw people paying $200/1000 or more for primers and double or more for powder etc. People have proven they will pay the price so why not charge that price?

It very well could be caused by Ukraine. Supply and demand.
