Good info for those who buy in bulk

If Sam's talking (SGAmmo), I'm listening. . .

Good thing I don't currently need anything. I expect this whole tariff business will peter out soon.
p.s. Anyone raising prices on US made ammo needs to be boycotted.

We only get ammo shortages when @BET7 decides to stock up.


Had to tag him, ain't seen him around in a while. i miss his post.

Well Bob I can agree and disagree. Most if not all powder is made overseas. Last I heard only China and Russia had nitrocellulose factories.
Sooo some components are going to get hit with tariffs.

been quietly acquiring cases here and there for some time, anticipating this very scenario.

I got his email the other day. Meh. He’s in sales, so I get it.
Best is to buy a little all the time to weather these storms. It’s like dollar-cost-averaging as you invest in stocks.

I just hope folks don’t stand in line and deplete what’s on the shelves now (remember how 22LR evaporated?) and I wonder the impact on components.

 

[Grayfox]

Not long ago I was reading an article saying that ammo prices will drop as folks are no longer afraid of the antis and will be buying less.
I wonder how its gonna play out?

 

[Talyn]

If folks haven't learned from past real and imagined (infamous .22lr panic) shortages by now then they'll always play catch-up.

 

[shanneba]

The one maybe saving thing, is copper and lead have dropped in price by about 10%

While it truely is a global economy and most stuff you buy from even American companies has some foreign components in it (with tricks Ford is only 68% made here Chevy around 75% per Forbes)

Just some humor and relax ain’t nothing we can do but ride it out!!!!

 

[Talyn]

Ford has the greatest % of vehicles made in the US (~80%) vs. the others, but the Ford Maverick & Bronco are made in Mexico, as are Dodge Ram trucks.

Humans are so predictable.

The Forbes article I read had Ford at the lowest with 68 and Chevy at 85 and Dodge/Ram were in the 70 something and surprising enough Toyota was something like 88% US components

and most Buick vehicles these days are made in China crazy!

 

[Talyn]

Forbes leans left and is owned by a Chinese company in Hong Kong.

My info came straight from an interview with Ford today.

That one time at band camp!!’

We could split hairs on % but it doesn’t matter. Wether left or right leaning or whatever point is nothing is 100% American made

 

[Grayfox]

I don't buy brand new vehicles anyway. Won't bother me at all.

It’s the current existential threat to society, until the next existential threat comes up.
