Never?? Pretty big word there, 'never'....OBTW-just bought a 333 pack of 22lr at WW for $20.....3 days ago.
Thanks to inflation $20 certainly is pocket change today.

Back in the late 1980s when I was a teen we used to buy the milk carton of Remington lr with 500 rounds for $5.00 and go shooting all day. Its a shame that in todays political environment kids doing what we used to will likely be answering an officers questions because some idiot sees them with a gun and gets scared.
I think your losing it bud..... just because someone has the money doesn’t mean a company is for sale.One more thought is George Soros buying out companies producing ammo and weapons. He will shut it all down if he can..
I didn't mean that's all I shoot, I reload & have stocked up on my reloading supplys. In fact the one caliber I don't reload I stocked up on quite a few years ago at lower cost that you can buy .22lr for today. I bought this stack of 5.45x39 for about 9 cents per round when a local place was going out of business.

This is just one of the many calibers I have to play with. My kids will probably be shooting the ammo long after I'm gone.
I wouldn't say never. When this generation of gun enthusiasts passes on, there will be less and less demand - particularly for .22 ammo. That's my guess.Was browsing on ammoseek and found this:

The very cheapest .22s on the net are $0.35 a shot.
This is over TEN TIMES as costly as this time last year. I have enough .22s to last the rest of my days but I feel extremely sad the young men coming up will never be able to experience the joy of plinking away the afternoon for pocket change.
This is depressing me terribly and this price is even before the upcoming change in command which could bring even more demand. I am praying to God this will end and future generations can enjoy a .22 that is cheap to fire.
God bless all and stay safe during these awful times.

That's a pretty penny for Wolf 22. lr. $525 for 1500 rounds.
Last week my local Bi-Mart and 800 round packs of Federal 22. lr for $25 a pack. Glad I bought mine when I did. Whew!!
Typo? 800 rounds for $25, is $0.03125 per round, which was a good price pre-Sandy Hook!
When cheap ammo is almost as expensive as expensive ammo I just buy the expensive stuff. It's better ammo anyway. Plenty of Center X and Tenex out there.
I don't want to be the negative Nelly, but people should be scared about the ammo market correcting in the future. It does not take much observation to see that the dynamics in place after this election have never been seen in our lifetimes.
We should believe the people in charge (or who will be in charge) when they say that they are intent on restricting the ability to get ammunition. I think what we have seen is that people tend to do what they threaten to do, especially when they gain power.
The ammo restrictors will have power over most of the Federal Government in less than a week. Friendly states can resist for some period of time. It's not a conspiracy to just talk about what we are seeing. That is why I do not think that things will return to normal anytime soon, if ever. We have already been told that the election of an outsider "Will never happen again". I believe them.
My point for the thread is that it is not crazy to grab more ammo whenever you can find anything reasonable. I think a buyer is taking a huge risk by just waiting for the traditional bounce back. I think we are in risk management mode. The extra cost is like insurance for the ability to shoot in the future.
Just my two cents.
If the choice was ride every once in a while for $50, or don’t ride at all this year, I’d personally buy the gas.Ain’t no way. That’s like paying $20/gallon for gas for your motorcycle just to go riding.
