Gun ranges that lost business due to COVID closures who then thought they might make up some lost revenue by jacking up ammo prices haven't realized that they're cutting their own throats (although maybe "shooting themselves in the foot" would be a better metaphor.)

So, serious question: How many of y'all are actually BUYING ammo vs. just looking at the exorbitant prices, shaking your head and moving on? Seems to me that SOMEBODY is paying crazy prices, otherwise you'd expect to see the store shelves stocked with overpriced ammo gathering dust.
Oh yeah. People here most likely deal with this issue at least once.
I am sure most are stocked, but probably not enough to get into range as often or compete as often.

Price will probably drop temporarly from hoarders unloading it on the market. Then it will increase a little and stabilize.

Almost same equation as fundamental physics swinging door with certaain % of critical dampage.

Only difference is that I think when it stabilize later , I believe we will see 15% ish or more price increase from 2019 prices. (Material, 2 manufacturers, crazy inflations)



Similar to graph above.
(Funny I am comparing a phys equn for a market)
