Folks,
Ammo prices are going to get much worse. A couple posters here stated that ammo makers were profiteering, but thats not true at all.
China has become or is becoming industrialized. The "sleeping giant" (China) has awakened. China is now using up the worlds supply of metals and fuels. So, metal costs are sky rocketing. This is the reality. Its not the ammo companys. It is the cost of metals and cased ammo used metals in the casings and the bullets, never mind the primers.
At Buffalo Bore, we have raised our prices 15% in the last three years, but our costs of production have gone up over 30%. So, even with our higher prices, we are profiting less than we were three years ago. I'm pretty sure that ammo companies were making a lot more profit three years ago, at lower prices than they are today at higher prices and I only see it getting worse for the long haul.
Stock up now if you can.
