With the price of copper going up, I keep seeing "ammo is going up 10%!" and just this morning "ammo is going up 30% on March 1!".
In the past, I've only bought ammo as needed in small enough batches (shoot half the upcoming weekend, stock pile the other half) so I've never really paid attention to material costs versus the end product. What type of price hikes are you expecting with copper going up to record highs?
I'm considering buying a bulk order of 7.62x51 right now and maybe a second one this pay day. I'd hate to panic buy, but .308/NATO rounds aren't cheap already and to add 30% it just makes sense for me to buy now rather than later.
