Buy now.--but--only if the price is right.
Prices generally are excellent if you pay attention. I was in Dicks Sporting Goods last Sunday to pick up some .22lr they had on sale. $7.98 a brick for Thunderbolts is pretty much an average sale price, but I was running low so I bought some. While I was there, I noticed they had UMC 9mm on the shelf for $5.50 a box, and Remington All-Purpose 12ga and 20 ga shells for $2.97 a box.

I've found that Fall is generally the best time to buy ammo, regardless of whatever else is going on, simply because of the advent of hunting season.

Several of the ammo mfg's are also offering rebates this time of year. Hype or not, there's some awfully good deals out there right now.
