The Coming Crash in Ammunition Prices

The Obama caused bubble in ammunition prices seems ready to bust. Over the last few years people have seen ammunition prices double or triple. Handgun and rifle ammunition has been hard to find at times. .22 long rifle ammunition tripled in price over the last 18 months. People would line up to buy ammunition at prices two and three times the level that they were just two years ago.

All of that is about to change. Ammunition supply looks as though it is ready to catch up with demand. Centerfire pistol and rifle cartridges are available on most store shelves. When I walked into a local Wal-Mart this morning, their were over 30 signs on the ammunition case indicating a rollback of prices by 10-15%.

Metal prices have already fallen from the highs of the bubble. Copper and lead are far lower than they were. You will know that the bubble is close to the bottom when you see .22 LR on sale for below 4 cents per round. At the lowest, we might see .22 cartridges below $10 for 500.

I travel WalMarts, from South Florida to South Carolina, there is NO glut of any caliber right now. .22 LR is by luck even when I know what is going on in certain stores. Also, .22LR never did double or triple, WalMart was selling 550 packs for $24.00 last month. The author speaks with forked tongue. Sounds to me like he is talking about the online market where anything can be had for a premium.

are there any shops that carry powder around Mason?

I've seen some powder at Kramer's Wood & Metal Works ( just got two ponds of Herco there Wednesday) and Gibson's in Kerrville had Powder last time I was down there, and Arrowhead Gun Shop used to have powder before they closed in 06, I haven't been in yet but I saw a while back they re-opened so they could have something.
