Title: HEVI-13 PRICE HIKE??????
Post by: bbcoach on January 24, 2012, 01:55:24 PM
I didn't want to hijack Spuriosity's "HOLY PRICE HIKE BATMAN" post but I believe HEVI-13 has instititued a Price increase on their HEVI-13 Turkey loads.

I just logged on to MidSouth Shooters Supply and a few days ago MidSouth had 3 1/2 Hevis for $19.85 per box and they are now $28.05.  Their 3" were $17 and some change and they are $25.29 a box now.

If you are in the market for some Hevis for the upcoming season, you may want to find a merchant that has some at last years prices and buy them.

Figure in their shipping + handling rates and you arent saving much if anything.  At least not to here. I just checked all their warehouse options and its 30.83 to get a box sent to me.

I know shipping is going up as well , I ordered 9 boxes 5 3.5" 12ga and 4 3" 20ga for a total of 16.95 a box to central Ohio.
I figure its only going to  get worse.

I have enough inventory of the good lot 2.25 oz #7's to last me for years. Also bought some more 20ga rounds to play with a few weeks ago for a great price. After this price hike I will be holding on to what I have. There won't be as many paper targets killed as last year.

Probably increasing prices to cover revenue lost in the $10 rebate.     I stocked up on 10 boxes of Hevi 3-2-7 shells last year when I read that Tungsten prices were on the way up.

The price of the materials that are used in the shells has gone way up(eg;Tungsten). The world metal market is  very volatile, and is hard to keep up with. In time, the cost of all shells made with these materials, from different mfg's will go up. More sooner than later.

you have to buy at least 4 boxes from cheap than dirt to even out the shipping cost and make it a good deal.

Tungsten has almost tripled in price since last year.

Ordered from Mack's last night after seeing what Cabelas had done to their prices plus the 12ga. 3" loads Cabelas has show 2.25 oz. of shot. Maybe it is a typo but I got worried HS may have changed the recipe for this year. Mack's is doing inventory through today so I'm thinking the prices go up after inventory.
