For many of us, the question is how frequently certain quantities of ammo will be shipped from Russia and Serbia.
It seems strange that Russian Tula .308 is now about .25/rd. at AIMsurplus (150 grain). Might be gone blitzschnell.
My .303 comes from Prvi (Serbia) and can be reloaded at least six times.
Many people feel that the housing "bust" has not yet reached its bottom. Banks now sell limited numbers of foreclosed homes, so that the prices don't fall even more.
When supply for some calibers seems to be steady, the main question seems to be how much the demand will change.
Even if minerals go up a bit, would the manufacturers want to/be able to produce more ammo?
If commodities cause price increases and demand goes down, are they making the same profits?
