Will the price of ammo drop?

The price of ammunition is the same as the price of everything else. Once consumers get used to the elevated price, it will never go back down.
 
there is no hope for the price of metals to go down in the near future, thanks to china, so unless they can find a way to make bullets/casings from plastic/teflon, they will stay high and continue to rise.

Does anyone have insight on this? Should one be buying now for surplus or wait a year?

It may well drop, or at least stay stagnant while our buying power increases, but it won't be next year. The U.S got caught with their pants down in terms of war stores a few years back, they won't let it happen again, soon. Look for the US government to be on an ammo buying binge for at least three years after they pull out of the middle east.

A generation from now, though, we may all be making $80/hour, looking at ammo at $500/case, and complaining that it takes almost a day's wages to buy 1200 rounds.
 
so will canam still be offering 299 a case for 7.62 surplus...... as promised a few months ago....... or can we kiss that deal goodbye...... as we are all so used to paying the rip off artist price of 800 a case??
still patiently waiting......
 
That ammo remains the same price and will be here around December. Internal issues in the country of origin. But that may well be the last of it.
 
Snap up what you can offord.. I think alot of the cost is freight, and that is only going to get higher.

Fuel surcharges are only going to get higher

I agree buy all you can.
Fuel prices, well let's hope they stabilize. Did you guys see the Bakken oil reserve in ND and SK on the news? It might save us for awhile. I hope this info is true. Here's some info I found after I saw it on the news.

They actually figure if there is 200 billion barrels (conservative) and up to 500 billion, this is enough to supply US energy for 30yrs with zero imports.:)
It's as big as the huge Saudi fields which are in decline production now.

25 Billion barrels reportedly on the Sask side. :)

I REALLY hope this is all true.:dancingbanana:

True for 7.62x39, x54, 12.7 DsHK, 14.5mm, but not for 5.56, 7.62x51.

I know plenty of people who make 80 or more dollars an hour now. But even at todays prices ammo is too expensive for them.

It is still fairly cheap compared to the days when people were making $50/week. I have many old boxes. $5 for a box of ammo was a lot more in the 50s/60s than $20 today. Same goes for gas.
