A farmer sells steers to locals every year to slaughter for $600. This year, steers like his are bringing $1200 at the sale barn. The sale barn has bidders from all over the country that are willing to pay today's market price of $1200, or maybe even more because no one likes to lose an auction they start bidding on. Are you saying you expect Mr farmer to continue to sell his steers at $600 when the sale barn is across the street from his house?

I spoke to the owner of a local gun club. He said he recently made a huge ammo commitment to a guy in New York to buy ammo, just to have it to offer to his customers. He said they are paying a premium and in turn have to charge a premium. He made a $2 million commitment. If ammo drops, which I doubt it will, he has to eat the loss. He agrees that its nuts. Said his margins are the same as always, however we all know 10% of 2 is better than 10% of 1, but he also has more risk. If you are self employed, this makes tons of sense. If you arent, you just get mad and think the business owners are getting rich and have no more risk.

So it seems $0.75 a round is a price that people are willing to pay, but not willing to hoard. I'm guessing on the not willing to hoard part, because this ammo is still in stock 24 hours later. Seems to be a good start. Maybe 9 mil ammo oughta be 75 cents a round everywhere and then it might start to be available everywhere. Eventually supplies will build and cost will drop. But until manufacturers and retailers find the ceiling on price, hoarders and scalpers will just snatch it all up

What about the increases prior to this one?
I believe Winchester has acknowledged they've raised there like 6 times now already.
@quackhunter its something like that right?

Yes Winchester pricing has gone up 6 times in the past year. That’s pricing for companies buying directly from them which translates to higher shelf prices.
