Cost of ammo
Cost of ammo
I'm relatively inexperienced with firearms, but have noticed that the price off ammo has fluctuated greatly over the last 1.5 or so years. For example, where I am, a 50 count box of 9mm has nearly halved in price from ~$20 to ~$12.
Is this due to COVID or is this sort of thing typical of the industry? Thanks in advance.

$12/50 9mm is still high. Prior to 2020 50 9mm was ~$8.
20 5.56 was $4.50 for range ammo and currently around $8.50/20
In the next few years it'll come down substantially and then something will happen and they'll skyrocket again. It's how gun life has been for the past 30-40 years.

Keep in mind that some of that will be inflation, which we've had an unusually large amount of recently.
