I was in Bi-Mart today. They have quite a bit of ammo. But, I overheard one guy saying that he wasn't going to buy any ammo until the price comes down. So I got to thinking about something I read recently (I think it was on survivalblog.com). I read that it costs 1.7 cents to make a penny. If you bought a $100 bag of pennies it would have a melt value of $170. And these are "copper" pennies. Well, copper is also needed to make ammo. So, it seems to me that the costs of raw materials are going up. Therefore, I do NOT believe that the price of ammo will go ever down much if at all. Also, I have heard some people say that those who have been hogging all the ammo they can get will soon be trying to sell it. But, I don't know anyone who plans to dump their ammo. Most people I know plan on keeping it the rest of their lives. Opinions, PLEASE?
