Sorry about the wide page. This link is to the 2006 Cabela's Shooting Catalog. The problem is they have jacked up the prices on most every item when compared to the printed catalog they send out. I checked on page 13 where they have Magtech Blue Line .45 ACP ammo for $9.99 a box in the printed catalog, but the exact same catalog on-line they have it for $10.99, a buck a box more. On page 31 they have Remington 405 Gr. JSP bullets for the .45-70 at $70.99 for 500. A good buy, I just bought 500 a couple of weeks ago for that price. In the on-line version of the same catalog they have jacked them up to over $80.00. If you order from Cabela's be sure to mention this if you do a phone in order. They have to give you the lower price, at least until they publish a new catalog. If you shop in their store just be sure to take the catalog with you. Again, they have to give you the lower price. I wondered why they didn't have catalogs at the store to just pick up? Now I know!  Bill T.

Lead prices are way up too. I bought shot last week from a local gun store that's still selling at last years prices. $17.99 for Eagle and $18.99 for Lawrence for 25 pounds of 7 1/2 shot. If he was selling at current prices the Lawrence would be $26.50. He said that most ammo companies have raised 3 times in the last 6 months except Winchester who has announced a 14% hike effective Dec. 1. I bought a bag of 9 shot from a chain store at the $26.50 price. Good thing I'm only loading 7/8 skeet loads with the #9s. More loads per bag.  :wink: RD

Cabela's prices are out of line with just about every other retailer. If it weren't for my Cabelas Visa where I get points and then free items, I wouldn't ever shop there
