I would think that prices will continue to go up until people stop buying the stuff. When the market has had about all that it can bear, then supplies will get backed up and the manufactures will know that the price has hit the wall and things need to be stabilized. Then prices will gradually go back down a bit until people start buying the supplies again. I would have thought that would have already happened with factory ammo, I mean how many boxes of ammo can you afford at $50 a box? Or even $30 for that matter? I know that I am sure glad that I got into reloading. It has made the price increases easier to handle for myself since I can still afford to shoot a bit more than I could have at factory ammo prices.
