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.

People were hoarding ammo during covid in case shit hit the fan. Extreme right wingers hoard ammo every time there's a presidential election with a Democrat leading in the polls. So expect prices to go up again in 2024. They likely won't be as high as they were in 2020-2022 though, since that was hoarding combined with supply chain issues.
