| While prices are still elevated, the supply is improving. Downside is those persons caught shorthanded will continue to now stockup and keep prices elevated. This scenario will continue in view of the current political and social crime-ridden climate.

186,000 miles per second.
It's the law.
| Well, 9mm is almost 50% lower than 6 months ago and heading lower. So, the trend continues back down. |

| yeah i almost feel bad for the various ammo vendors they weren't the 'cause' of the massive price increases -- they were caught in the shortage just as the public was ... hard to run a business with inventory / prices as volatile as the past year has played out. -------------------------------

I'm sure most of us don't feel too sorry for those vendors. |

| Random data point:
My local LGS had quite a bit of the Federal fmj 9mm for $24.99/50rds a couple days ago.
I left all of it there, but did buy ten boxes of Rio 00 buckshot for $6.99 each. It was the last of it they had at the time. |

I am surprised at how much gun items/ammo. they have at reasonable prices. They were always the store where you looked at what you wanted to get and then go elsewhere to get it. Now they seem to be my go to spot.
17 bucks a box is about as good as it gets. was there a limit. you should have bought it!!!! |

| One of the bigger LGS here had an ad on the radio this morning, $19.99/50rd box for Blazer Brass 115gr 9mm. Limit of one case per "household" per week. That's still $400 a case, twice what I paid a year and a half ago, but a lot better than it's been for the last year.
And, I got an email from PVI a couple days ago, they have .45-70 brass back in stock. Still not much powder though - some, but not what I'm looking for. |

It was just a couple weeks ago and the limit was 2 boxes of 50. Upping it to a case limit is a step in the right direction. Maybe they are trying to dump ammo before they take a loss. The last case of that ammo I bought from there was $160 |
