Ammo prices going down?
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed ammo prices going down a tad bit? I mainly focus on .223 and or 5.56 ammo and I have noticed a decrease roughly around 10¢ per round.
Anyone else seeing this or have I just not been paying attention lately

I checked the usual places I buy online this week and no noticeable decrease. I hope you're seeing the trend downward.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I want to think (hope) now that Trump is going to be the President and the threat of Obummer is about to go away that maybe the prices will drift downward in the future.bblhd672 wrote:I checked the usual places I buy online this week and no noticeable decrease.

Re: Ammo prices going down?
I have just seen a small decrease in some brands I typically look at. By small I mean a few cents a round on a case of 1000

and powder availability is becoming realistic, I can now get Trail Boss without buying it in an auction on Gunsameria or the other one.
Re: Ammo prices going down?
I have not noticed a decrease of ammo pricing.

I have not noticed it yet. The 100 round boxes of Federal .223 at Walmart were just under $29 a year or so ago, but have been $38 for several months to a year now and haven't gone down any.

Re: Ammo prices going down?
Same here. I expected to see sharper declines, TBH. Give it a few months now that demand is likely to drop while everyone pares down their stockpiles instead of buying more. Vendors should start to drop prices as a result.Wag2323 wrote:I have just seen a small decrease in some brands I typically look at. By small I mean a few cents a round on a case of 1000
This may be the first time that I am extremely happy to take a loss on my investments in guns and ammo. Personally, I'm not planning any new ammo purchases for quite a while.
Re: Ammo prices going down?
I watched pricing for the last 6 month on a weekly base. I have not noticed a real price drop but low end target ammo seems to be more often in the shelves of the local Academy store and at the online ammo dealers.

Re: Ammo prices going down?
I've noticed .22lr and 9MM has dropped a few cents a round in the last month. I haven't shopped .556 in a while because I stocked up a while back.
Do what you say you're gonna do.
Re: Ammo prices going down?
I have noticed as well. I saw federal .22lr for 2.50$ for a Box of 50. At that price you can finally grab a handful of boxes like that and go have some fun

Strong dollars, lower import prices. Lower cost of energy, lower prices.
