    Seems like ammo is bouncing up again

    Just when you think things were getting better it seems like panic mode again.

    I fairly recently bought 1K rounds of Wolf steel case .223 for .41 cents a round. Now I'm only seeing prices of 50 cents and higher for anything.

    I'd stop buying for at least 5 months until after November.

      The skyrocketing cost of #2 diesel is boosting the prices of everything u buy as a consumer.

        I haven’t made a decent purchase of ammo since early 2020. Not just because ammo has been unavailable, but also because of the prices. I don’t have a gigantic supply, but enough to keep me from buying right now.

          Seems like the last few days all the bulk ammo vanished.

                Yes, no kidding there! I regret not getting more on my last order a month ago.

                    It isn't going to get any cheaper until 2025.

                      Might be time to rethink the reloading option. Not sure about component availability these days though. I stocked up during the early phase of the pandemic and component availability was mostly OK then.

                        More like 2027.
                        It will take two years after Desantis become President before the ammo supply stabilizes.

                        Just like it took two years after Trump and Bush 43.

                          I just stocked up a bit on ammo. I am learning to reload .45acp but by the time you buy all the components its not cheap. I actually think i`ll just buy ammo next time unless everything gets cheaper.

                            I reload everything. You are right it is probably not a ton cheaper, after you buy everything, but you don't feel so bad about shooting up a bunch. Even with todays prices I can put 45 acp together for less than $10 a box.
