I was looking at the prices of raw metals used in ammunition and they have dropped tremendously from a year ago.
Gasoline prices are also the lowest they have been since 2004.
Is there some underlying reason ammo prices are not coming down? Are producers just using this as a time of increased profits until component prices rise again?
Comparing prices of ammunition in 2006 with now it seems ammunition costs nearly 40% more. Yet many of the costs associated with production and distribution should be even lower now than in 2006.
Copper is lower than it has been since 2005. Lead lower than the major price increases seen in 2007.
Shipping costs should be far lower with fuel prices at early 2004 prices.
Many of the major sources of demand are shrinking, from China to the auto industry.
Prices of raw materials are actualy falling to what they were 3-5 years ago, along with gasoline.
Shouldn't we start seeing ammunition prices of 3-5 years ago?
Will we see prices come down? Or will they just keep them high and make additional profits rather than drop them only to raise them again when costs increase once more?
