    Demand is low because we cannot afford the current prices! Raise prices and the manufacturers will sell even less.

    • @freedom4all108
      @freedom4all108 6 дней назад +9

      No they won't because those who produce the primers and components will raise prices to compensate. They want their ammo to sell, so they'll raise those prices until it makes it the same cost to reload as it is to buy new ammo. Kinda already is that way now

      Let's be real; inflation is out of control. No administration can fix it. Therefore, the natural consequence is for prices on everything to go up. The Congress will simply NOT STOP overspending. Recall that only one statesman in contemporary history had the balls to cancel an unsustainable debt (Treaty of Versailles) and issue debt-free currency, but he was soundly defeated by the capitalists to the west, and the communists to the east.

    Our entire economy is based on supply and demand. Ammo companies can raise their prices as much as they want, but if people refuse to pay high prices those companies will be forced to lower their prices to what people are willing to pay.

    Funny, I think I commented on another of your videos about primers yesterday. I stated the awesome fact that prices of White River Energetics primer prices have gone DOWN and I noticed yesterday that they have a recent primer addition for sale that is even cheaper than their usual small pistol primers. These othet small pistol primers do not have any plating on the metal cup of the primer. These primers are 4% cheaper than their regular small pistol primers. But they still sell both. Awesome thinking White River!! Saving us consumer reloaders money!
    Another fact that I discovered today is that Winchester small pistol primers are being sold in bulk (5,000 packs) at American Reloading at the same price as White River is being sold on another site! So if American Reloading is selling the Winchester primers for a lower price than they could before, it is extremely likely that they paid a lower price to the distributors, who must have paid a lower price from Olin/Winchester.
    Capitalism at work, free market at work, supply and demand brings down prices (once we all stopped or stop choosing to buy at the inflated primer prices of the past few years)!

    Tariff increases are pending for Canada, Mexico,and China. Not much ammo imported from those. Yes, some from Mexico. That a European company now owns Vista means nothing unless they move the production out of the U.S. The ammo produced here - no tariffs. I suspect the greater forces driving prices are general inflation (thank you, Brandon) and increasing government demand. Why is the Department of Education buying firearms and ammunition?

    My first hunting rifle was a Marlin 30-30 back in 1994. At the time I also had a Colt Anaconda and a CZ83. Feeding the pistols back then was a little more pricey than the 30-30... just 12 years ago I went to find 30-30 ammo and HOLY COW! The price of ammo had skyrocketed to twice that of the 44! SO I got into reloading. When the ammo market crashed, I didn't care. Now I have two 45 Colts that I want to enjoy and the price of that is higher than Willy Nelson on a ferris wheel! Going to the gun store here locally, I can't even find it. I dropped by the range yesterday just to help a buddy buy a new rifle and looked for 45 colt ammo while I was there. He had some home defense loads that were acceptable but the price was $48 for 50 rounds. I bought them anyhow, because the last box I got was over $60 just a few months ago. Slowly I'm building up my supply of brass so that I can just reload what I have. As of right now, reloading 45 colt is more expensive than just buying it outright (meaning buying all the brass, primers, powder and bullets) separately...

    with the shortage of nitrocellulose coupled with the 200+ % increase of the price of antimony in july which is expected to go up again in 2025 not to mention other materials price increases the cost of ammunition has to increase right along with the increased cost to manufacture it, and with tariff increases most likely going up in 25 this will lead to either bargaining strategies, or price increases, probably both

    As a chemist and member of a primer reloading group on MeWe for the last four years, i don't really have any concerns anymore about availability of primers or powder. Very few have the necessary persistence to follow through and achieve the reason they joined our group, but for a couple dozen of us who have stuck it out and put in the effort, we are set for life. My favorite primer recipe is an updated SINOXID patent which cost 5.80 USD per K for LR/LP, and i also like WW2 era FA-70 though it is corrosive. EPH-20 is easily the most popular recipe due to its simplicity, its based on lead nitro-hypophosphite and activated by water after the cup is loaded.

    That 5-10% increase by Winchester was announced a few months ago. It's old news. I saw the formal letter posted online.
    Some places never lowered ammo prices after all this time post-pandemic. There's one gunsmith a few miles from me selling .40S&W for $1 a pop. Another spot in the other direction sells 50 rounds of 9mm for $36. I guess they're not getting any business while holding on to that sunk-cost fallacy even if they bought it much cheaper.
