Unprecedented arms sales and global supply chain failures have contributed to higher ammunition prices. During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, ammunition quadrupled from its prices prior to A shortage and shortage of ammunition has caused some retailers to limit the number of boxes you can buy at a time. Let's take a look at why I think this way, as I remember that I had an ammunition distributor for a small manufacturer for about a year and have direct experience. Of course, it's less difficult for them to make ammunition, but intermediate types, such as armories, also have to make money, so the price goes up at least a little.
Oliva said major U.S. ammunition manufacturers, Hornady, Federal Premium Ammunition, Remington, CCI and others, have increased production dramatically. Because a company like Federal, CCI, Speer, and a few others make their own ammunition in large quantities, they can sell it for less. At Fort Walton Beach, you source your weapons and ammunition on an assignment from your dealer, so you're at your mercy in terms of what you can store on the shelves.
Woodbury said for his part, that he is also starting to see more ammunition come in, but that is not the quality he would normally have in stock. I think most gun stores have placed limits on the amount of ammunition you can buy at any given time to limit resellers. As we have mentioned, one of the main causes of the current ammunition shortage is the increase in purchases and ownership of weapons. He said ammunition prices skyrocketed dramatically in recent months, sometimes quadrupling their pre-pandemic prices for some calibers, while other calibers experienced still-significant price increases of 25%.
At every stage of ammunition development, from primer and case manufacturers to ammunition assemblers; every company involved has to make money or it will go bankrupt. So right now I have a lot of things that I don't normally wear, brands that I don't consider good, poor quality ammunition in my opinion, but that's all you can get. It's almost not worth selling ammunition, except that people need it for their weapons and it's a necessity for those of us who take 2A seriously. If you want to know the true cost of ammunition, all you have to do is go to the Federal website, or any of the others that sell their own stuff.
There have been a number of new ammunition manufacturers on the market, as well as many of the smaller manufacturers that have increased their size and production. Other ammunition manufacturers gladly took Remington customers, but struggled to cope with the sudden increase in demand, contributing to ammunition shortages.
