Components will also rise.
There was a Letter from Vista Outdoors (CCI, Speer, Federal, etc.) advising their wholesale customers of price increases along with shortages in available supplies due to Military contracts.
If you haven't a damn good supply and ability to make your own, it's going to be expensive and difficult when the need comes, and it will.

This has happened before, each time it gets worse. Ammo prices still haven't recovered from the last "covid shortage". I do find during times of ammo shortages and price inflation that guns tend to drop in price. I capitalize on that.
When we can't shoot guns as much, I like to get the bows out and shoot with the kids. Got a mix of compound, recurve, and cross bows. It is actually pretty fun and reusing bolts makes it cheap.

I had similar, yet less kind, thoughts.

Apparently this is national news now (wouldn't know, don't follow lying news networks). Friend called me bitching because he only has a few boxes of 223 left. I told him before the background nonsense to get ammo..shit I told him 10 years ago to stock up. They always make some kind of excuse, usually it is "no money". But he and his wife went on a week long cruise in the spring. I sure as hell do not feel sorry for him.
I see Powdervalley has a "sale" on primers. Their stock is dwindling. I may pass..I get that natural instinct to panic buy like most people, but then I realize I have tens of thousands of primers already.

Less of an increase than many other things.

Just do it.
If you watch tv for an hour at night, you have time to reload. Lots of help available here for the knowledge part if you want it.

I took the time to have a friend show me.
Reloading, is next to food prep/canning. It is essential.
