Prices did reflect that.

Aguila 9mm in 2010- $200 per case of 1,000
Aguila 9mm in 2018- $180 per case of 1,000

IMI 556 in 2012- $359 per case of 1,200
IMI 556 in 2018- $290 per case of 1,200

I have receipts for these prices.

And today it is $840 per 1200. At midway. That’s a massive jump from 2012–2018. It’s crazy

I remember when I was young and first getting into shooting in the early 2000's, Wal-Mart was selling 550 round bricks of Federal 22lr for less than $6.00. Adjusted for inflation that same box of ammo should cost $8.44 today. That's half of what they were moving for during the "salad days" a couple of years ago. Some of you guys have your head burried in the sand if you truly believe that ammo companies were on hard times back then lol.

Losing the Lake City contract to Winchester, I am sure had a great deal to do with production changes.

They will be expanding capacity with Remington.


The Remington plant was rumored to be running at 25% capacity if not lower, when they went bankrupt.

Federal can optimize that plant, bring it up to 100% capacity, then also probably optimize it.  Increasing over all production out of that facility once it’s cleaned up.  


But he’s absolutely right. It’s probably a 3 to 5 year build out for a new plant or even expanding a current production facility.


Edit:

Assuming you had ~1B+ dollars to throw at this.

It would take you a few weeks to months to close on a piece of land.

It would take approximately ~5-6 months to get the building permits, zoning approvals.

It would probably take another ~6 months to get the environmental approvals to build.

I’m guessing several months, to a year to get the fire storage approvals of the chemicals. Depending on your state fire codes and the like.  

It would probably take a few months to a year to get ATF approval.  

A few months to engineer the building. Then re engineer it.  Then engineer it again for all the above approvals.  

Now you’re also ordering and designing machines.

You would break ground.  Assuming you’re building ~200,000 square feet. You’re talking a year build out for the warehouse, parking, office area.   Getting utility approvals. Getting the proper electric run.  Getting the building stood up.


Hopefully by then your machines are built. As they’re custom made and engineered.

It will probably take you 4-6 months to get them rigged, hooked up. Then you have to test and optimize.

During this time you’re now hiring and training work force.  It will take 6 months to a year to properly train your work force.  Another year to optimize it all out before you’re running at 100%.

During all this, you’re negotiating with raw material suppliers.  Brass, copper, lead, steel, chemicals.  Hopefully the major suppliers of those components can increase their capacity to supply you.  In some supply chains there’s just not enough surplus.  So you can’t get enough to run optimally.  Or they’re yearly contracts which if you buy in, prices go up.

So there’s 5 years.  And probably 1B+ dollars.

I really doubt it will take 3 to 5 years to put in a primer machine/process in an existing plant for surge capacity.  At today's prices the ROI would be quick.

You are checking the wrong stores then. You gotta go to the chain stores. Walmart, Big 5, Academy, Sportsman’s warehouse..

This week I’ve seen ammo on store shelves including 12 and 20 Ga slugs and birdshot, 22Lr, 17HMR, 556, 6.5Creedmore, 50BMG, 38 Super, .260, 7mm Mag, 300 Savage, 32S&W, 32ACP and others at normal retail prices.

See my edit.

It would be extremely costly.

I assume Remingtons plant had primer making facilities. If they can increase capacity there, that’s the fastest bet.

Yes, add more production capability for primers so it can sit idle next time ammo and reloading is back to low again just like every other fucking panic so far. 2 years ago it was cheap and people didn't stock up. After a mass shooting or election it goes up, then comes down. Plan ahead people. Not a companies job to take all the risk of adding new shit to keep you supplied when you didn't plan ahead enough.

Depends on the time it takes to bring new manufacturing capacity online.  Figure there is at least 12-18 months of pent up demand in ammo purchasing, and that gives you a back of an envelope number where the market will absorb additional supply at higher than normal prices.  May or may not be enough to pay for the capital investment in additional capacity.

Highest margin ammo.

Do you really think production cost of a 150gr FMJ 308 and a 165g “vita shock” Sierra Game King 308 are that much different?

One pre panic cost 50 cents a round about.

The other pre panic was about $2 a round.


Production cost difference is maybe at best a few cents.

It’s his job to make the company as much money as possible.  Thus, hunting ammo.

Yeah it sure does suck for the new guys getting into reloading. I'm fine, I bought primers by the 5k case at $16-$18 per thousand.
The only thing that got me was the Large Rifle, I depended on Wolf for those and didn't buy enough before we stopped getting them with only a couple thousand left. I got some Palma brass so I can use small rifle too.

I have 22 conversions for pistol and AR and a ton of pre-Obama 22lr, worst case I just use those as much as possible to stay fresh without burning too much real ammo.

I’m still shooting once a week. sometimes it’s rifles, other times it’s handguns, and occasionally shotguns. Yesterday I shot 100 rounds of 22LR and 50 Rounds of 9mm.

I’m not a reloader so I save my 45, 10mm, 38 and 357 brass for friends that do. I don’t bother picking up 9mm brass.

Primer manufacture is a manual "by hand" process. I would imagine the guys who do it are working overtime.

Most shooters don't reload, so I can understand why all the primers are going toward ammo manufacture. Primers were incredibly cheap a couple of years ago. There were GB deals throughout 2019 where every primer size could be had for less than $25/K (including hazmat and shipping) if you bought several thousand, and sometimes much less. I bought a bunch of small rifle primers and ended up paying $17/K. That was the time to stock up.

Proposed Bills, false flag events, ammo tax scares, import restrictions - $$ > $$$ (No new capacity added)

Dem. President, lots of new shooters, gun shelves bare - $$$ > $$$$$ (No new capacity added)


Can now sell from manufacturer to distributor, and distributor to seller/end user at a higher price, with no extra plant/facility costs = no reason for them to change what they're doing when they can increase profits and they have no competition...
