I see ammunition prices stabalizing in a couple of months and going down probably by summer. The Obama-induced frenzy will fade. Whatever political energy there is to push through anti-gun legislation is way on the backburner and will meet fierce and protracted resistance if and when it comes up (probably not for year or two at the soonest). It stands to reason that ammunition manufacturers have ramped up production to meet current demand, yet the prices of commodities like copper and lead have dropped considerably. Pentagon demand is not likely to increase and probably will decrease. This adds up to stores and distributors becoming overstocked when the rush ebbs. Add this to relatively low cost of production and we should see prices falling and good deals to be had.
