Ammo Price Jump

[azlaw]

The war situation is consuming an enormous share of the ammunition production capacity worldwide. But it isn't the only cause. A very significant cause is the rise in demand for, and thus cost of, copper, which is used in brass and bullet jackets. Evidence of these can bee seen here in Southern Arizona, where we are having a copper mining boom with mines closed for decades now re-opening.

I think that ammunition will continue to increase in price for the next few years. As the Mid-East conflicts die down, as the Yugoslavian conflicts did eventually, then surplus ammunition in modern calibers will become available. This will take many years to come about, however.

Bottom line - get it now, the prices are going up.
