135 JHP

$36.20 in November, $37.60 now.  $1.40 difference is 4% jump.

155g XTP

$36.83 in Novenber, $38.10 now.  $1.27 difference is a 3.5% jump.

Those are my examples.  Printing money so the government can spend more has its cost.  It sounds like its not across the board, and I'm thinking its just passing component increases he's seeing.

Great point. Also taking into consideration the big boy manufactures dealing with the ACA. Those costs will be passed onto worker and to consumer.. Underwood is a small family operation but price increase comes with many variables.

Every time I wanted to to order some they didn't have what I needed or wanted. Just gave up looking and moved on. Since I handload I get what I want, when I want it. My EDC is Atomic for the time being so all is good.

I just happened to cross a Underwood offer on gunbot.net  There were 7  50 counts at time on the 180 XYP's. crazy.

Cmon do people actually buy buffalo bore? What a colossal rip.  I wish undwrwood hadnt raised his price but he has a hard time keeping things in stock as it is.  Buffalo bore wants $35 for 20 155gr barnes 10mm.

   You couldn't plink or buy BB in quantity, but it's loaded up. It's way overpriced though.

Some kind of yearly increase. When I first started buying Underwood in 2012 it was 25 a box, last year was 27. I just ordered ammo I think it was Christmas for this price. Checked back for various grains I can never find on their website very early Jan and all TMJ excluding the always marked up 200 grain were 30 a box.

for a long time i wanted buffalo bore 180gr because it was the most powerful.  have yet to buy any.  once i discovered pbr and underwood i have never considered buffalo bore again. regardless as soon as i get my tax money i will be stocking back up. i blew through all my reserve this past fall.  so if the zombies come tomorrow i wont be ready.

   PBR's 165, 180 and 200's are between $26-$27/box. They have moved into the role as the best bang for the buck now. PPU is available right now for $19.99/box  ;D
