Do you think we will ever see Blazer Brass FMJ 9mm for $8.99 a box again? How about Federal 5.56 420 rd in ammo can for $118? You get the idea……
Not anytime soon. Prices will continue to come down in the coming months, but I’m betting 9mm 115gr FMJ brass cased range/target rounds will settle around 0.25 a round/$250 per case of 1K. In June of 2020, my last order from SGammo was for a 1K case of PMC 223rem 55gr FMJ brass case and it was $345 including tax/shipping. Height of the Rona, CHOP/CHAZ zone horseshit, Riots all across the USA, Election Infection 24/7/365. I could see it leveling out around 0.40/$400 a case but that’s still pretty steep within such a short amount of time. The more availability/choices/stock on the shelves and just a huge amount of ammo sitting around in sporting goods stores and online retailers being stocked to the gills, the better! Soon enough it’ll be Manager’s Special, Weekly Blow-Out Special, Holiday Sales and everything else to where they’ll have to drastically cut the price down, which in turn will help level the price as well. Keep an eye out, good deals and reasonable priced common calibers are out there, and still can be found currently.
I agree, thank you.
no. i dont. i think we’re at a new normal sadly.
Most refinement of metals like copper and lead r done in China. And nothing is happening there…on top of shipping logistics and freight costs. Materials will keep ammo near current prices. But war expansion in Ukraine could expload prices. Switching to 6.8 will add to raw material demand and cut civilian markets even more. We are one event away from ammo becoming unobtainium. These r the new lows, or close to. The only real option from here is it stays this way, becomes way more expensive or not available at all. Waiting, at risk of not getting any, for a small possible percentage drop is unwise. I would keep buying. Actually, lifetime supply thinking is probably the best of all
welcome back @mufasa4444 and you and i share the same opinion that you should keep buying as much as you can to get to that lifetime supply number… that said, i dont think itll happen.
It is good that JJE is getting that ammo plant running at full capacity asap. from what i understand everything is going to be or is already sourced on the USA Side of things. if not locally in state.
IMO,. not in this lifetime.
Just because last time and the time before that and the time before that prices came down again doesn’t mean it will happen that way again. I’m not going to go without over trying to save a few hundred dollars. Too many people, not enough ammo 
I think it’ll go down some, but it probably won’t go back to “normal” in quite some time.
Nope.
Not unless the US $ deflates.
Which would only occur under “Force Majeure condition”, e.g. if the US government collapsed and stopped sending money to fund 1/3 the US economy.
There are lots of curves in the Fed Fred database. The WALCL shows how one part of the money supply Doubled during Covid19, from $4 1/2 Trillion to $9 Trillion.
I remember the amazing deals we had pre-Covid. Federal XM193 & XM855 for 27 cents a round.
If I was trying to figure out inflation, I would definitely use firearms related prices as part of the weighted average.
NO. It will not.
in all seriousness, i am afraid that we’re living with the new normal on pricing. 
For the most part, I think youre right. Raw materials have gone up. Fuel, and consequently logistics have gone up. Rising cost of living as a result of same and more means salary and wage adjustments for some, which further raises overhead. And as a market of consumption, we seem to have pretty much used up the bulk of the USSR-subsidized surplus. I’m sure we will see the occasional dip or stockpile liquidation, but by and large, this seems to be where things are going to settle.
I’m starting to wane on it staying put. People are soon going to have to stop buying ammo to pay for gas. Or food. Or increased rent. Or medication. With a huge portion of people already living paycheck to paycheck or just scraping to get by, when gas hits $5/gal, buying $10/box .223 or $16/box 9mm is going to have to wait till inflation and prices chill out.
As that demand falls, so will ammo prices. Then the rebates begin.
I’d like to start buying ammo again when .223 hits $8/box brass, and 9mm hits $11/box brass.
Just bought box of 22LR at Walmart ($21 for 325 rounds = 6.6¢/rnd). Maybe your scenario is beginning. I haven’t seen it that low for a long time.
SP maybe so… again another reason for some to reload. I dont see things coming back down t hough… gas, food, rent, meds, you name it, i think we’re livign in the new norm of high prices, and even more will be sent to the scrape by folks. i think it has been part of the plan to pretty much make the middle class no longer exist and make us all paycheck to paycheck. … how disappointing that is.s
I just received a thousand .40 180gr jhp to reload 10mm. Cost was $149 shipped. Last time I ordered they were $110.
Let’s Go Brandon!
How does Mr. Bidet’s Gun-Grabbing Agenda get affected by the 2022 elections ?
Since the faux Dem’s know they can lose the House & Senate, they are likely to try to ‘get something done’ legislation-wise before the Repugs voted in in Nov. 2022, are inaugurated in January 2023. (or is that schedule different ?)
If Bidet’s Buddies LOSE the House & Senate, then probably Biden is more likely to use “Executive Order”. Methods that circumvent the House & Senate.
The paradox is, if Bidet’s Buddies try to get something done Gun-Grabbing wise, before November 2022 - that alienates many of us - and increases the likelihood of the House & Senate going Repug.
I think they’re going to take the “Smash & Grab” power shop-lifting approach. And try to do ANYTHING THEY CAN. e.g. the crack-down on 80% lowers.
