Factory ammo, more price increases

[Fassteel]

Well gents the ammo manufactures or going to do it to us all again to the tune of 25% in September, and another 20% January of 2008. So if you don't reload and like to shoot alot as many of us do you'd be well served to stock up on all your favorite products.
This isn't just here say, as I work at P&D in Edmonton. FS

yup, ammo prices might get scary - hold on!

Why is that? Is there a war or something???

Factory ammo is for the WEAK.

Gate, where you live, your need for 22 ammo is likely somewhat limited. Down here in prairie land where guys like to go out and shoot several bricks each weekend, stocking up on ammo now in a big way should make sense to most folks. At the current rate of increases can you imagine how much factory ammo will be in ten years from now? FS

Alot Of The Increase Is Based On Cost Of Base Metals Which Have Gone Trough The Roof Lead Is At An All Time High Copper Is Too!!
Expect Damn Near Everything To Increase

22 amo is up here already. Guys at the range were talking last night.
If you can find some cheap, stock up.

What else is new.....everything else goes up, ammo is no different.

Good thing then I snagged that box I just seen of Federal 225 grain in .338 Winchester that Walmart was selling for $20

 

[ben hunchak]

people could bypass these increases by reloading prudently ie:cast bullets, small charges of powder, use more efficient cartridges, practise more....if you use 100grs of powder and the latest MRX Partition ballistic silvertip bonded with scintered tungsten or depleted uranium...yeah it's gonna cost you and the ammo companies lap it up.

Sounds like a good time to invest in a good .22 and start shooting something a lot more affordable...
