Ammo Prices

The Gun Guy has remarks up about the current ammunition market in the US. Long story short:

• The massive ammounts of foreign surplus ammo coming into the country is really screwing with consumer price expectations.
• Expect premium ammo to shoot up in price because of reduced demand in comparison to the inferior but cheap surplus.
• Expect more cheap foreign ammo to come onto the market from Eastern Europe.
• Expect American "manufacturers" to start rebranding foreign ammo because they can make it cheaper over there.
• .22 is going to be going up in price.

In short, if you shoot a lot now is a great time to start reloading. Make your own premium ammo if you require it. Once I have a house to put a reloading bench in, I'll probably do that.
