Holy Pellets Batman!

Prices are not going to come down much, if at all in the near future. Some reasons:
1. Over a trillion dollars in additional money was printed during COVId. More money is chasing fewer or the same amount of goods.
2. Taxes keep going up, which will be passed on to consumers like they always are
4. Supply chain issues due to international politics as well as accidents like recently in Baltimore will keep material prices high
5. Growth of government spending and hiring will crowd out private businesses, leading to less competition and less production.
6. Eventual conflict with China will create scarcity of consumer goods and manufacturing equipment, even if materials prices fall. The transition period will hurt a lot…
7. Government regulations will continue to add to price of goods, why do you think Chinese stuff is cheaper?
The only cures to high prices is finding cheaper places than China to produce goods, replacing people with machines or a recession. All of these “cures” mean job losses.
Best thing to do? Stock-up, but using only as much money as you can afford.

I am still working, so steady income is nice. I have run out of toys to buy and places to keep them. My Camry is 10 years old, might have to break down and buy one before they outlaw ICE engines.
Most everything I buy these days are consumables like food, beer, whiskey, shotgun shells, bullets and pellets. Made out my estate plan with my lawyer last week. I keep eyeballing plate armor with Dearborn only eight miles away. I will be ready for Rednecks and Ragheads once I choose my plate armor vendor.

Doc read what I stated. I never stated I was buying CCI for 5 cents a round I said 7 Cents. Target Sports as a member $90 per year with an 8% discount and free shipping with no minimum purchase-one box of 50 for example is free shipping. The 5-5.5 Cents is Aguila which i find is as good as CCI SV. I was surprised
The Guy" will send you a pic of the tin and label.

Of course everything has gone up. 9mm bulk range grade ammo was .15 cents to .18/.19 cents but usually .15-.17 for descent ammo. I could buy Wolf/SK for .10-.12 cents. These have gone up to .15-.20 cents. But the pellets have gone out of sight. The firearm ammo has to much more expensive to make. Compare a .22 pellet to a .22lr rimfire-36-40 gr bullet of lead, brass case, primer in the rim and gunpowder. The pellet is just a small piece of lead basically. If I am missing something as to the complexity of producing pellets compared to firearm ammo, I need to be educated.

Very simple. Supply and demand. Way more powder ammo makers then there are pellet makers. How many bullets get produced/used a year worldwide vs pellets?
