Ammo price

[Laphroaig]

Ammo and loading components are largely dependent on commodity prices. Both copper and lead prices rose significantly in the early 2000's. Prices have been dropping the past 5 years or so but not to the past levels.

I'm sure politics and supply/demand are big factors too, but not the only ones.

Please let me know when competition together with supply and demand brings it back to these prices.

Don't hold your breath.

3 cents a round is probably below the manufacturer's fully absorbed costs plus target profit.

A local shop had the 325 box of Fed Auto Match for 18.88 (max 5 per) for Black Friday. They ran out.
