Agreed. Time to buy is now. Don’t wait expecting prices lower. If you want it, get it. If you don’t want it, get it anyways.

Normal? What do you mean by that? 2016 era was not normal, that was a market glut brought about by two terms of zero, everyone expecting clinton to win, and Trump winning.

The days of $13/box 9mm is not going to happen.

Will be interesting to revisit this thread in a couple of years.

Not unexpected. Cost of doing business can only increase so much before it has to get passed on.

Other industries have seen 5+% price increases month over month every month this year.

With COVID I added a $25 PPE fee to every surgery except dental implants. So, for our routine $300 extraction that is an 8.3% increase. For $1000 wisdom teeth it's only a 2.5% increase. $25 covers our new costs.

I'm resisting a global percentage-based fee hike.

At least our European and Eastern pals are keeping prices in check. Between IMI, GGG, PMC, S&B, fiocchi and several others we are finally seeing some imports level the field.

IIRC I predicted 60 cpr for 223 and 50 cpr 9mm back in an older thread circa 2020. Those are almost spot on right now but I think prices will continue to fall down to within 20% of pre-pandemic prices but probably no lower. I bet they get there in 6 months or so.

It appears that ammo supplies are starting to get better but the pricing is still way out of wack. Will we ever get back to normal, asking for a friend.

Define "normal".

Call me crazy but somehow I do not think the Taliban victory in Afghanistan is going to improve things.

If the potato administration is giving a 25% increase across the board for food stamps, that should give you a pretty good idea of what the inflation rate is.

 

[Dawico]

Material cost up, shipping up, labor up, inflation up, and throw in greed and here we are. As supply increases prices will fall a bit but not much.

Like others stated, get it while you can. I wouldn't expect those in charge to help the situation.

Yet a Trijicon ACOG is selling at the same price today it was in 2018. {Maybe because the price was so high in 2018...}

Today's prices are likely the new "normal."

 

[Ranger60]

We have been through this more than once. Has it ever come back to "normal" Welcome to "normal" Ammo producers are a business, the goal is to make money. Any excuse to raise prices and profits are a good thing for them.

Thanks to Government contracts, probably.....

In the meantime keep checking this online search bot to find the best bargain you can afford. I have noticed a price drop on 9mm from .40 per round to lower .30s per round.

Ammo is appearing more and more at Academy's.

You are right. I saw .308 ammo at my local (Dallas) Wally World this past weekend.
