Maybe even from before the moon existed.
Antimony and Nitrocellulose have many uses above and beyond ammunition. Nitrocellulose can be produced in the US, and there are now several mines for Antimony reopening in the US since the last one shuttered in 2001. The next six months will be telltale for ammo production, as well as guns. A pro gun administration could bring about a new age in firearms advancement to produce better and less expensive firearms and accessories as well as ammunition. This assumes we do not end up at war, or a riot situation. Keep watching and if you need ammo, don't wait, just look for a lower price!
Buy more guns
I mentioned this in another thread. China is the world’s major supplier for Nitrocellulose (gun cloth) used for ammunition “powder” and primers, and antimony used to harden lead. They placed restrictions on exports to the US and European countries (I’m guessing to aid Russia in its war effort) several months ago. The US government has made efforts to find alternative sources; Tajikistan comes to mind but alternative sources don’t match the volume supplied by China. All this is to say that I wouldn’t expect prices to significantly drop until the wars end or until the US increases domestic production.
The largest problem it was under a democratic administration working under EPA guidelines... we have Trump now, I really think that will change as it had with oil. Elon musk has his ear, there may be a "boom" in lithum mining as well.
Her numbers on the bathroom wall at Cum & Go
Yeah, i was buying $80-$100 cases and $100 sks’s while the old timers reminisced about $50 cases and $50 sks’s coated in cosmoline…was good times back in the day when even a poor boy could buy a foreign big boy rifle and shoot it til it blew just to spite the reds.
I think prices are going to continue dropping.
I've been seeing ammo, ammo componenets and gun prices drop for a few months now.
With this economy i'm not sure many people can afford to buy ammo and guns when they are trying to buy groceries and pay utilities that have had big cost increases last couple years.
Car parts and periodic maintenace stuff like batteries, filters, wiper blades, spark plugs have doubled and trippled in price.
Taxes are out of control.... city, state and federal.
Insurance(auto & home) is unbelievable, not to mention medical.
I predict more homelesness, theft and desperation.
Yes, I'm a pessimist

I'm an optimist. I see ammo and gun prices falling just like they did in Trumps first administration.
In the obummer years when people were paying over $100 for a 500-round box of Remington thunder duds, I was sitting on a big stash of .04 cents a round .22 ammo from the Trump years when prices fell.
Swore I'd never pay more than .04 a round and held to that.
When .22RF fell to .03 a round, I'll never need to buy another .22 cartridge ever again.
