We are in for tough times economy wise, no matter who gets elected. Prices will drop on many things simply because people will not be buying them. Ammo will come down some I believe, but it won't be soon, and it won't be much. People will continue to buy it, so it won't drop dramatically.

Let's see.....fuel prices are down 50 some %, do you see airlines cutting all those charges? And at the same time, I'm still paying $4.30/gal for diesel in LI, NY. Regular is going for $2.99.

Sure. Just like gas will go down 75% if the price of the raw supply drops 75%.

Well. Oil prices are down 50% and gas prices here are down 40% so it's working out pretty close.

Dude, the airlines have just finished filing for bankruptcy. With all the fuel increases they weren't making any money, now with fuel low they might make some. When raw material prices went up, the ammo industry raised prices to compensate. The airlines couldn't raise them that much.




And back on track....
Is 17 cents per .308 bullet that much more expensive than it has been? Is that price going to go down?

Ammoman just jumped up their price another $10.00 on 1K rounds of 7.62 x 39 this week. I was a bit surprised to see that given the small drops showing up elsewhere.

Dicks is now selling Remington 9mm for $7.98 a box. That is down $2 from the price in the summer.

They get it back by raising the price of shotgun shells: It's up about $2 a box over last year.

Like after Rodney King verdict?

#48. "Celebratory outbursts" are exactly why I'm stocking up and laying low on Nov. 5th. Like a college soccer team after they win: nothing to stand in the way. Win or lose, it's blood in the streets. Forget about "9-1-1" and hold on to "-1911".

This current trend in our economy has hit us college student shooters the worst. Nothing like paying tuition, rent, living expenses AND increased ammo prices.

Had to sell my GP100 in order to help pay for rent, used what was left to buy a MKIII.

has hit us college student shooters...

Um,...that is I am enrolled in college, not actively shooting college students.


Just wanted to be clear...

Prices might fall in the short-term, but always bet on inflation for the long term. With the politicians and the Keynesians calling the shots if deflation is a remote chance the printing presses will be running at full speed, and the gov't will borrow even more. Plus, with the idea of a "Bretton Woods 2" being thrown around the devaluation of the dollar might become a policy goal.

Edit: Just wanted to clarify that I don't think inflation to combat deflation is a good idea. Its like backing up over someone after driving over them. It doesn't help and just makes thing worse.

I really like the thread title about 75% off. Now I just paid $14 a box for Blazer .45 acp a week ago (though somebody previously said it was down to $12). At 75% off, that would be $10.50 less, bringing the price down to $3.50 a box. Cool. I think the cheapest I ever paid for .45 acp Blazer in the last 7 or 8 years was $6.75 a box. So prices are going to come down WAY BELOW what they were before the war started?

There's probably enough folks stocking up for fear of the Obamination to keep prices inflated, regardless of the plummeting materials costs. If I'm in the ammo business, no need to lower my prices until sales slow down.

At the gun show yesterday, Georgia Arms was doing huge business. 500-round ammo boxes were very popular, often multiples to the same customer.
