But they do. Remember the price/lack of availability of ammo during the obama years? Well last 4 years I was buying ammo for 1/3 to 1/4 of the price now.
Prices never went back to pre-Obama levels, but I never looked to see how that tracked with inflation.
I remember people talking about how they used to buy .22 for $0.02/round pre-obama and how it was never coming back. I've bought .22 for $0.03 all day, and saw it as low as2.3c/round (if you wanted an armory's worth of .22, which I didn't)
All companies want all their prices to go up, and yet they mostly don't without some external factor.
But seriously, I can't plink at $0.90/rnd.
$60 140 round South African battle packs of 7.62 NATO is what I miss. It was dirty as hell but shot great. I also miss the $7 50 round boxes of .45 ACP. I also picked up tons of the spam cans of 8mm mauser for like $60 back around 2008 or so.
I hadn't looked at .22 in a while since I did buy an armory's worth under Obama. Jesus Christ, 17 cpr plus for .22. Fuck me. Anyone who is just now trying to stock up is going to have a rough go.
