My local shop has been warning its customers for months about the pending increase in ammo costs. I took this content from their website current today:
Quote:
Ammo prices continue to rise. Federal announced 2 upcoming price increases totaling almost 18% between now and 1/1/07.
Winchester is going up 13% on December 1st. Remington has two 6% increases planned for 2006.

I seem to recall from another occasion that my guys passed on info that the increase in ammo costs are specifically related to the increasing cost of brass.
These guys are the #1 volume seller of ammo in my state. They have frequent contacts with the industry necessitated by all of the firearm restrictions in DPRM and so if they say its so, I know its safe to take it on their word.
