    I remember the prices rising in anticipation of Obama in '08,Hillary in '16 but other than covid and Biden inflation I am not seeing the same nutso scenarios this time even with a true collectivist running and her opponent having faced 2 assassination attempts.Am I missing something?

    So what prices are up and which are the same or down? I know 7.62x39 is way up but 9mm and .22 seem to be steady. Don't know about 5.56 or .308 stuff.

    I was just getting ready to say 7.62 x 39 is not up all that much but i checked luckygunner and it has moved up enough for this old fudd to raise an eyebrow . Cheap stuff [tela] 47.5 per to 97.5 per , US made hunting ammo [which is picking up the banned market shamelessly] 1.55 per . Brandon did this with his lets punish russia and the sunshine patriots loved it and now we cannot un-fuck ourselves .I think i have a pretty good ammo fort but the tela at 47.5 aint too bad if ya gadda . LG has not had tula ,wolf ,RAS or zoo animals in quite some time . If ya want sticker shock just try a LGS even their bargain off brands are high off the shelf .

    I looked up my purchase history with luckygunner , i used them because they were the only vendor that shipped to NJ when i lived there so there are cheaper sellers . In 2021 plain old wolf FMJ was 37. per , tela from them to-day is 47.5 per that aint bad at all , over the years i bought cases from them to build up my fort [7 k] , i do look for RAS non magnetic because thats only allowed at my indoor range , i have 800 rounds left . RAS seems rare nowdays along with tula ,i do not have any tela yet so i do not know of its quality but i bet its fine for my intended use [zombie apocalypse] . Bottom line buy and stack deep the cheap stuff until its all gone and only the robber barons USA stuff is left . I would not think trump in and the uke signing a peace deal is gonna lift the russian ammo ban ever ....i hope i am wrong

    Economy is soft, a lot of people have already bought or are not buying.
