    Huh. Prices had been dropping on stuff like 9x19 Luger for a couple of months. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/9mm-luger Why is anyone panic buying now? If you're conservative, the pandemic is over. The Remington factory is even back at 100% uptime now. To me it seems more like sellers got hooked on the elevated prices from the perfect storm in 2020-2021 and are price fixing or hoarding or something to try to keep the gravy train rolling.

      Why is anyone panic buying now?

      The entire industry is predicated on a handful of easily gulled hobbyists constantly panic-buying at the drop of a talk radio beat.

      Can't believe capitalism would do this.

      Really looking forward to the Chris Rock future world of $5000 bullets.
