Lol of course it will end. This cycle repeats itself over and over. Something crazy happens (Be it political, pandemic, a combination of things, whatever) and demand spikes. Supply can't keep up, and the common stuff gets scarce (9mm, .223, common components like small pistol primers, popular powders, etc), and prices go through the roof. Manufacturers ramp up supply as much as they can, and EVENTUALLY supply catches up with demand after the hoarders are satisfied. Suppliers continue to produce at record rates until there is a surplus, and then prices come down.
This is why we were able to buy $300 cases of bulk .223 and $180 cases of 9mm a few years ago. These prices are not "the new normal", and there's something stupid about the people that use that ridiculous phrase.

Except this times, manufacturers have said they won't ramp up supply like they did years ago. Instead of investing in more manufacturing capacity they instead decided to shift production from rarer calibers to the more common 9mm, 223 ones. It means prices won't go down when it's back to normal since there won't ever be any extra supply in the foreseeable future. Just more availability of calibers.
Anyway, that's my take on it with as little information as I have.
Inflation isn't something that just goes away. Pop is not longer a nickel at the dollar store, and it's not coming back.

I bought 4000 round of 124gr brass blaser for $225 -250ish/thou in 2019 so he's not wildly off
