Ammo prices to go up
Spoke to LGS this evening, was dismayed to hear ammo prices going up almost 15%. Was wondering if this was local or something across the board. Would be interested to hear from others what they find....

Re: Ammo prices to go up
queue panic buying, ammo shortage, and actual price increases due to speculation...
I hate it when this crap happens. One person mentions "price increase", and everyone runs around buying up every box, creating a shortage, and raising prices even more...III%

Re: Ammo prices to go up
It's not speculation when the store tells me that "Ammo prices are going up tonight 15%", it does compel me to buy extra rounds that will cost me more the next day (as Im going to buy the ammo anyway, may as well get for as low a price as possible).
It's called common $en$e

Re: Ammo prices to go up
I mean the stores and suppliers that distribute the info. Whether it is expected to go up or not, all they are trying to do is gain more profit. They know that when people hear "prices going up", that most go out and spend hundreds of dollars to stock up on ammo before the price goes up to much. They're essentially creating their own stimulus...
Nothing against you..III%

Re: Ammo prices to go up
Guess it's a good time to throw all that spare brass up on Gunbroker.
Makes me feel like a war profiteer.

Re: Ammo prices to go up
If the ammo manufacturer's were really concerned about raw materials, especially with brass, they'd start a program of returning brass directly to them so it could be re-manufactured into new rounds. We send our spent brass back to them, they add funds to a "gift card" so we can buy more.
It would be a great way that if you don't reload on getting something back, including all that .22lr that you can't do much else with.Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,

I would say "suggest that to them", but that isn't what they want. They want to be able to raise... I'm sorry, "stimulate" their prices whenever and however they want.
Honestly though, that's a great Idea... I can't tell you how much brass I've left laying at the range over the years, just because it isn't really worth picking it up, or sifting through everything... If this was the case, I would take the extra time to do so, and send it back.III%
