Ammo going up more

And that’s best case if there’s no disrupting domestic event(s) along the way too.

2024 been an election year I spect more to happen. I pick up a few cases of 9mm.

Yep, saw the letter a few days ago.

Seems like the American consumer ( Patriots ) are taking hits from every point on the compass.

I couldn't imagine being a new shooter and starting up right now. Of course, they probably wouldn't know any better, but still the costs are whew.

It is surprising how many times I see someone at the local range empty a couple of magazines and then pack up and leave. I am very glad I started reloading…40 years ago.

Obviously that will be going up too if powder and primers are going up.

isn't that peachy.

I expected it to happen, it is likely to escalate over coming months. I will be surprised if it does not keep increasing if things keep going the way they are going overseas.

Yes, reloading supplies will also go up. Already planned for that also. You either have a mindset to anticipate and plan or you don’t. Those of us that were raised by parents that lived through the impact of the Great Depression know this.

Brass, nickel, copper & lead may need to be added to the precious metals thread.

Of the metals I own, I believe these have had the best return.

Freedom isn't free. No news here.

I was thinking (I know, I know scary), this is a wholesale increase.

Retail increase will be a higher percentage as the base cost goes up, profit isn't a dirty word & is required for businesses to stay in business.

Looks like I need to inventory my supplies. I need some 2015 powder, will have to see how much H335 I have to use as substitute.

 

[Aszerigan]

I was personally caught short the past three or four shortages. Not this time.

 

[indyblue]

Uggh! Primers are already 150-250% of what they were pre-covid. And now they're going up another 1-7%? What BS.

 

[DadSmith]

Unfortunately what will be will be.
Start helping out the small ammo companies that are competitive in price.

Venezuela voters approved annexing next door oil-rich province in Guyana on Sunday. If they invade and Brazil responds watch price of ammo and oil go up and up.

I think the letter was put out to induce panic buying. I visited some larger ammo sellers this weekend and their shelves were sagging with overpriced ammo. No one was buying, in fact I was the only one looking. In this economy where a family buys groceries one week and gasoline next because both can't be bought the same week, the ammo shelves will be sagging more.
