[Dranrab]

Not good news, but not overly alarming either. Here are the projected price increases. Some of the increases aren't as high as Bidenflation.

Primers: 5%
Alliant Powder: 10%
.22 LR/.22 Short: 1-5%
.22 WMR/HMR: 1-7%
Rifle Ammo: 1-7%
Handgun Ammo: 1-5%
Shotshells: 1-7%

Well actually

ups man gets a box of .410 shells and cookies

USPS lady gets yard eggs all year and cookies , and hand crochet hat from wife

And FedEx lady gets the same as usps lol

.410 shells?? You must be made of money!! I finally found a box of .410 at Cabelas, and almost messed my pants when I saw the price! Twice the price of 12 or 20 ga. shells. They were still there when I left. The .410 will be now a safe queen, and I mean WAY in the back of the safe.

I’m at the end of mile long dirt road. My ups guy got a coffee refill and deer sausage to go.
Good people.
So glad to be back in the woods after 22 years of BR.

Good stuff, Military ammo has been packed to last 50 years

And as long as it's stored correctly it'll last a lot longer than that. I have surplus 7.62x54R and 8mm Mauser ammo from the 1940s I shoot regularly with not one problem. It's corrosive Berdan primed ammo which just means you need to clean the rifle right after shooting but it's great stuff and I bought it a decade ago when it was cheap as hell and stacked it very very deep.
