Will prices continue to drop or is this just a temporary lull?

Like I said in another thread with the increased amount of ads and emails promoting ammo there has to be a dam building up that will eventually need to be relieved.

Brass case 9mm has steadily dropped the last two months , but 5.56 bounced back up with the Ukraine stuff.

If you want Tula steel there are some ok prices now with free shipping if you look a bit.


As always buy when you can and if you don't have a typical ARF stockpile , I feel bad for you.

They seem to be dropping slightly. Just bought some 300BLK TAC-TX 110gr for $1.25 a round!

Waiting for some other stuff to dip.

Nickel passed $100,000 per ton a couple weeks ago. London LME shut down trading.

Copper futures are heading north and are predicted to go higher. I think the only thing that might prevent ammo prices from skyrocketing again is a recession which is now predicted to occur later this year based on the approaching inversion of the 2yr and 10yr T-Bills rates.

We're in for a rocky ride.

ETA: Forgot a zero.

Prices chopping sideways with risk towards upward pressure sounds right to me. Demand is probably leveled off/declining but thats happening just as raw materials are being hammered, and shipping is a disaster.
