Are ammo prices decent right now?

Looking to stock up on some 5.56 , .308, and 7.62x39.... Im seeing the prices come down but do we think they will go lower or higher moving forward

Local here 1k 9mm is $375.
1k 7.62 is $400 and that is lower over recent prices (this price may never come down because of the ban if anything I would stock up on import steel 7.62 )
556 is $600 per 1k
I don't buy 308

I doubt they'll get any lower if that's what you're asking.

They’re better now than they’ve been at any point in the last couple of years. Definitely not down to pre panic prices, but that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Inflation alone will likely keep prices higher than “normal” for the foreseeable future.

Most calibers have plateaued for the most part, with some occasional small decreases in price.

I’d say buy now if you are in need. Not gonna get a whole lot better than this.

But I would probably get this pending shipping rate for same qty :https://palmettostatearmory.com/glob...tm_campaign=cl

I like FMJ and Bulgaria is a NATO member and typically ammo out of those countries meets NATO specs which is higher quality than the russian ammo you linked.
so is FMJ better than HP? They came out to the same price after shipping for 500 rounds. 42 cents per round

IDK man, Golden Tiger Russian ammo is pretty legit. Barnaul has awesome reviews. Im not sure if there's much difference tbh. Ill get the hollow points just because im completely stocked up on FMJ
