Rationally thinking about this, the price of copper, brass, and lead are down dramatically since last summer/fall. The manufacturers are making as much ammo as they possibly can. These two factors should be bringing prices down.

It's demand by the greedy consumer that is causing this. Ammo is flying off the shelf, even at terribly inflated prices. I paid $13/box for 50 9mm bullets last February. Just noticed today that they are $35, and saw people buying them! I will not buy at this price -- no way. Only a crazy, irrational consumer would do that.

What would happen to ammo prices if we all the sudden stopped buying, or even bought rational amounts? They'd come down dramatically.

What's wrong with a person, or business, making money if it's done within a fair, competitive environment? Are we drinking the anti business, anti success, Obama Socialist Kool Aid?
