• Shotshells + 5%-12%
• 22 Magnum Rimfire ammunition + 5%-15%
• Hunting Rifle ammunition + 5%-15%
• All Centerfire Pistol ammunition +8%
• Components +10%
• Primers +25%

At these increases, this is going to turn shooting into more of a "Gentleman's" sport. Not to mention leaving those on the low end of the economic spectrum with the inability to practice sufficiently...

Did I read that correctly? If you paid and have it on back-order, they're gonna charge you the higher price?

If so, that sucks.

Kinda even feels like a legal thing, as if they broke some sort of agreement with you. Especially if they already have your money.

Nah, I'm just reading that with paranoia ain't I?

Winchester ammo sucks anyway. a squib shotgun shell from Winchester white box ammo blew up my SKB O/U and broke the tip of my index finger.

You know what really sucks is that I'm going to get 25% less winchester primers for my $1400

Should have invested your stimulus funds into MEC shotshell presses.

Thank God I bought ahead after the last shortage since I'm low end. If our sport isn't illegal by the end of this travesty I see prices coming down a bit when there's a glut of components like never before. I hope so. I'm not buying factory ammo right now just workin with my own components. Gosh I'd have a lot more if it wasn't for that darn boat accident.

I am not shocked.

Everything in this country seems to be going UP in price and not just in 2021.

Take care.

I do not think that they should do it on back ordered products and on OLD orders.

I did read that many GUN RELATED companies just CANCELLED orders and when people saw that happen to them, they thought that it was a MISTAKE and reordered their items ALL OVER AGAIN, only to find out that the prices were higher than their original order.

THIS happened after the CT - SH time frame and during many other times in the past from what I have read and SEEN online with pasted/posted pictures put up by forum posters and on some news websites.

Take care.
