If the Richmond gun show is an indicator prices are starting down. They've gone from Way, Way Too Much to Way Too Much. .223 Ammo prices slashed to $0.85/round, down from $1.15/round. I didn't see the 30% drop in other ammo but it is down. .22lr if you wanted it but in the $80-$100/brick range and was target grade. AR's were down a couple hundred and the parts guys had a supply uppers,lowers and the like. Saw and AK for $480.
Handgun prices were still at the premium level.
Not much in the realm of reloading supplies. Small rifle primers (Federal) were $46/1000. TUL large pistol primers were $30/1000. The brass supply seemed to be pretty good. MAC's Reloading seemed to have a reasonable supply of commercial reloaded ammo.

I do not expect prices to be what they were for any components.
It will be about Christmas time before it is all back to what it was before chicken little fell out of the sky like it did four years ago.
I have two years supply, but am still looking for deals just in case there is no return to normal.
Just saying...

You can thank Homeland Security for that. They have been buying up ammo to keep it from the public. I talked to a GS friend of mine that had his FFL visit several weeks ago. He complained that ammo was hard to get. The agent told him that they have stocked piled over 30 yrs of ammo at their current usage. What a waste of out tax payer money.
