Here's part of the article.

Ammunition will be subject to the following price increases.

Shotshells + 5%-12%
22 Magnum Rimfire ammunition +10%
Hunting Rifle ammunition + 5%-15%
All Centerfire Rifle FMJ ammunition +8%
All Centerfire Pistol ammunition +8%
Components +10%
Primers +25% (Due to our current backorder situation, until further notice, Winchester is not accepting new orders on primers)

"Price increase" has become a daily phrase in the construction world. I saw a chart yesterday that showed lumber up 262% over the last year.

I din't read the ammo article. Are they suggesting that one will actually be able to purchase ammo once the price increase takes effect? I made a quick stop at BPS in Clarksville the other day. I didn't look on every shelf, but the only ammo I saw were some turkey loads and a few boxes of various odd caliber rifle shells.

Everything in construction has doubled 4x 8 sheet osb now 32 bucks was 13 14 precuts were 3 now 8 you know how many are in a house lots

I’d still buy ammunition at a higher price I’ll complain hate it maybe boycott it but sooner or later I’ll pay it kind of like owning a car with out gas worthless but you probably still won’t be able to find it anywhere and if you do you may want to put it in your cart

$32 for OSB. I'm no expert, but I say that is $32 for pressed junk mixed with glue. This has got to stop soon.
