Tarrifs and Ammo

[Vapor]

So besides tarrifs on countries in Europe and South America, what effects do you all think they will have on American ammo?


We have no primary smelters here.

Copper and brass are imported heavily.


I'm not saying that tarrifs are bad, but I want to be realistic on what could happen. Ammo prices have never come down fully from covid. I think it could only get worse.

They will go up for sure. Almost all metals come from outside the USA. There isn’t much mining happening here. Tariffs have increased so prices will as well.

I just ordered a case of 9mm a partial case of .308. I'll find a way to move savings around.

Stock high, stock deep. Hang on. Carry on. If you see something, buy something. You may not get a second chance. Make Ammo Great Again.

Tariffs, President Trump has been in only 90 days in a couple days, all while fighting the swamp; he sets the tariff and the other countries see they need to lower/make a deal or they will stay. "Break a deal, spin the wheel".
Pressure needs to be put on all the swamp monsters new and old.

I'm not here to debate the tarrifs. Im just looking at how the ride may affect us who love to shoot.

Price is going up. Supply down.
We need to restock our munitions, so at least 2yrs of dry times.
Understood about debate, but supply and price were going to fall and rise anyway.
It might get to the point where many people will need to join together and make a huge purchase of needed stocks; if a seller will make a deal.

Sga and target sports have good inventory right now. I just went with target because they had the .308 I wanted. Im lucking it can ship right to my door.


My brother has a reloading set up. I may look into .308 dies.
