Is it going to be nation wide?

 

Crap, I better go pick up a couple of boxes of .45 cal

 

Damn, two bucks a shot for my .243 wasn't high enough already.

 

yea, hunting rifle ammo is always high. Im getting ready to sell my rem 7mm-08, one i never shoot it, two is that its at least 27 bucks for 20 rounds.


I read that its nationwide, because the cost of materials are going up.... also known as the value of our dollar going down...

 

No switch will be flipped, if that's what you're asking. Bullet and ammo supplier have been raising prices all year. Raw material prices are up, so bullet/brass makers have to raise their prices and then ammo makers have to raise theirs. Retailers then either raise their prices or eat some margin, and I don't know anyone who willingly gives up margin. Looks like Natchez is adjusting their prices all at once instead of piecemeal.
