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.
Prices match market desire. During election years (where one politician has an anti gun platform) or during times like COVID people go out to buy guns and ammo. There’s a reason the expression ‘buy cheap stack deep’ exists.
If you can buy ammo before an election year or (harder) before you find out about global pandemic. Also use Ammoseek to find deals and buy the cheapest brass cased non-remanufactured ammo for range use.
