I was at Cabela's at 9am today; joining in the madness of trying to get some of the ammo that might have arrived overnight. No joy on the 9mm I needed but as I was walking away, I noticed 3 packages of Weatherby 257 100 gr spritzer for $39.95 each. All other Weatherby ammo was circa 75 bucks. Without thinking, I scooped them up.

OK, I shoot several Weatherby guns (including a 257) and generally have tons of brass accumulated over the years. So I did not need to make this purchase. But has anyone seen this price in the past few years? Is this the normal price for this load? Will this madness ever go away? So many questions... so few answers...
