'Bite the bullet' and buy now: Panhandle ammo prices likely won't drop for 12 to 24 months [View all]

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, ammunition got very expensive and very hard to find.

Now that America is starting to reopen, ammo is slowly starting to reappear on store shelves.

Prices are still sky high, however, and industry leaders estimate it could be 12 to 24 months before the cost of ammunition returns to pre-COVID levels.

"I would tell people who are holding out and thinking the prices are going to drop that they might want to start looking, to kind of turn a phrase a little bit, to bite the bullet and buy the ammunition that you want now, if you can find it," said Mark Oliva, director of public affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearm industry trade association.
