I am still waiting for prices to come down more. I have seen good to "premium" defensive handgun ammo come down to almost pre-pandemic prices (e.g., 60-80 CPR for new Gold Dot, HST, Hydra-Shok, etc.).I am just now starting to re-align my ammo buying with the new normal prices.
Gun sales, car sales, bitcoin, heavy equipment sales, ect. Stimulus money and tax returns are now a thing of the past for this year. Now most people are trying to keep what they have.Gun Sales Are Collapsing In Oregon

They are cheap but remember when you could buy mid gas rifle kits from PSA for $250. I think we could see close to those days again.Seems to me it's the opposite with regard to AR component prices. If you're ready and able to build an AR, now seems like a great time.
Ya, I think prices are turning around, but 14cpr 9mm and 21cpr 5.56 is not coming back any time soon. Inflation, labor, raw materials and no more dirt cheap Russian ammo to compete with will keep it from getting back to that, but I think pinking/range 9mm and 5.56 will return to 25/35 cpr respectively at some point in the next 2-3 years once things settle back to normal (and we get the Dems back out of control)I am still waiting for prices to come down more.

Well the pandemic is largely over-ish and I can't help but notice that the roving bands of rioting, looting, pillaging, burning, murdering, leftist mobs of 2020, seem to be taking the summer off, so that may account for the decline. It's not really so much of a decline as it is things moving back towards "normal" until the next catastrophe. I really thought the overturning of Roe was going to kick things off again. But I'm happy I was wrong about that, of course.Reasons for the slowdown are not as clear as those that explained the surge reported last year.
I wouldn't tick that off just yet. It's still smoldering and as gas prices and general commodity prices continue to climb, the temperatures go up, power outages and water shortages start kicking in.... it'll be ripe for a fanning of the flames over one excuse or another. The Roe overturn works.... I bet.I really thought the overturning of Roe was going to kick things off again. But I'm happy I was wrong about that, of course.
