Cost of ammo (self.guns)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by MarigoldPuppyFlavors to c/guns
 

I'm relatively inexperienced with firearms, but have noticed that the price off ammo has fluctuated greatly over the last 1.5 or so years. For example, where I am, a 50 count box of 9mm has nearly halved in price from ~$20 to ~$12.

Is this due to COVID or is this sort of thing typical of the industry? Thanks in advance.

The company that made primers for shells was having supply chain issues during covid and that drove the prices up across the board.

What you're seeing now is a normalization on pricing.
