What are the chances of ammo coming down in price?

price

surplus ammo is mostly gone so the next thing is factory new.
in 1940 22 cal lr was=.25 cents for 50.
32 rim fire .35 cents for 50
in 1975 22lr was=.98 cents
30/06 was=$6.80 per 20
38 spec 158 lead=$6.75
45 acp =$9.95

How about the 1 cent shipping on some surplus ammo at AIM and Wideners? Did they get caught in a currency play on the Prvi M193 and the Romanian 8mm? Or is no one buying right now?

TEDDY, I don't understand what you're driving at, other than to say the dollar-cost of .22LR increased from 1940 to 1975.

According to http://www.westegg.com/inflation/, 25 cents in 1940 is equal to 96 cents in 1975, when adjusted for inflation. So, while the dollar cost went up, the actual cost didn't (at least not meaningfully).

Also, .25 cents = $.0025; you mean $.25, or 25 cents. Go check out http://www.verizonmath.com/ for a hilarious example of what that mistake leads to.

in 1940 22 cal lr was=.

and what was the average wage in 1940?

everything cost LESS in 1940 including the wages, BUT this is 2008

ammo prices are already falling. Copper and lead have absolutely tanked along with oil in the last few months. Ammo prices will continue to decline over the short term. Over the long term? Who knows.

Long term, all commodities rise...

According to the N.R.A., if the "wrong guy" gets elected on Nov. 4th,
the tax on ammo will increase by 500%~!
