I spoke to an ammo wholesaler - and he thinks the prices will drop - as more and more ammo supply comes to the market...

Covid did close some factories... they are opening up and material prices have actually DROPPED as over all demand in the economy dropped... Buyers take advantage of that...

The Market works.

Yes but it never goes back down to before the thing that happened to make it go up.

That’s simply not true.

Yes it absolutely is

In early 2018 5.56 was 17 cents/rd

Went super high leading up to the midterms

Went back down but never lower than 25 cents/rd

You save this comment and check back after trump wins and is inaugurated

9mm will never be lower than 23-24 cents/rd ever again

No it isn’t. Case in point. Gasoline. Literally lower than when I started driving

A ton of buyers waiting for prices to drop....

I would buy when 9mm range ammo goes below .20/round...

I hope your wrong but who knows...

Couldn't find 22lr locally for what seemed like the whole 0bummer term, and even when I could it was almost 10 cents a round.

Then GEOTUS came and all the sudden it was 4-5 cents a round again and even at the locally Wallyworld during the day! Only recently with this wuflu and BLM bullshit does it feel like 0bummer scarcity all over again. I like to think after the election it'll settle down again

I gotta disagree with you on this one. 1 year ago I was buying 9mm for 16 cpr and it was readily available at that price. I expect it will be back there by next summer assuming the election goes well.

Ammo was more expensive and less available during the 2012 (Sandy Hook) panic than it has been many times since.

Everything will calm down after Trump wins.... or after a giant Civil war II where we bury Socialists in mass unmarked graves'. /s

There was giant spike in prices back in 2013.... https://i.imgur.com/joQW4UW.png

they can make far more ammo then we can typically shoot....
