How much lower will ammo drop in price?

Jstevens56 · Nov 7, 2014

Do you think we will stay around the current price or will ammo continue to drop in price?

For instance, we are now seeing brass .223 at $.29/rd shipped. This isn't far from what we saw before everything went up.

Not sure if I should start restocking or wait a little longer.

Id start stockpiling. Not sure how much cheaper it could get and thats a very good price. Almost not worth it to load.

The dollar is up sharply. Metals demand is down, largely because of economic slowdowns in China and Europe.

My take on this is, wait. I think cheaper ammo lies ahead.

I've been shopping at Palmetto State. Just bought a half-case of Fiocchi non-meel for $10.49/50 or thereabouts, $12 shipping. Hoping to find some cheap .38/.357 in Frederick tomorrow.

You can roll your own 38 for less than .20 a shot

If you see what you want in stock for the right price, then buy it. All it takes is one unpredictable event to send prices sky high again for a long time.

What exactly is seeing brass .223 at $.29/rd shipped just brass or an actual loaded round?

Anyway I bought Yugo tonight at 20 cents a actual round plus tax. :thumbsup:

It might be time for me to get a actual AK since this and what I had can use a 30 round magazine instead of the SKS with 10.

The better the dollar the cheaper all the crap from across the pond gets. ::crosses fingers for cheap MNs again::

I cant get over 22lr still at 10c per for the crud that used to be 3c ea. BEFORE shipping.....

Boom Boom · Nov 26, 2014

22LR is still high because of pent up demand. Hoarding is tapering off, but people with little or none left are moving in to stock up and preventing any retail inventory buildup. Prices won't fall until demand drops way off.

Major Major · Nov 26, 2014

FREEDOM Munitions is having free shipping plus 5 percent off by the way. 223 rem 55gr reman for 28c ea shipped

ma_deuce · Nov 26, 2014

Or until another crises is manufactured. :sad20:

Just a matter of time. Then people who sat on their hands too long start panic buying and hoarding and insane prices come roaring back in.

How many people sat on their hands? In the past 6 years, the amount of gun and ammo sales has been insane. Because of Newtown and FSA2013, I bought guns that I probably never would have bought. I have ammunition stockpiled that I never would have stockpiled in the first place. Now, I replace the stock as I shoot it. Probably a lot of people out there just like me. The next Obama or Newtown will not catch us with our pants down. Granted, there are some that still have not gotten everything they want, but I am pretty sure they have almost everything they need.

Just look at the stock prices of gun companies. The gun companies made a killing over the past 6 years. Ruger went from less than $10 a share to somewhere around $70 a share. Now, it is somewhere around $40 a share because the buying slow down has been hitting its financials and profits are nowhere near what they used to be.

How much lower will ammo drop in price?
