start to back off, I hope to see the prices drop. The raw materials
for production of ammo is down, energy is stable, there is no
reason for outrageous ammo prices. With politics of clear sailing
it should drop soon. The industry just can't resist taking a cut
at the golden goose. Maybe they will even retask some lines
to make a lot of the brass they dropped, because they could
sell all the para military cals they could pump out to the "Sky
is Falling" crowd.
I have Remington 50 count red box 22LR ammo from the late 70's that is marked 99 cents from K Mart. That would be $7.34 in today's money. Maybe we got spoiled with cheap ammo cost.
