Ammo Price Spikes: The Top Causes and How to Save Money

Image
Ammo spikes can make it much harder to add to your ammo stack. When all of the shelves are nearly empty and the 9mm bullet cost is up, what do you do? There are ways to protect yourself from unexpected ammo spikes, from checking prices to having a stack prepared and ready to go. Here are a few reasons why ammo prices spike and how you can avoid overpaying. Supply Chain Disruptions First, as shown in the early 2020s, the supply chain can be delicate, and if unforeseen circumstances disrupt it, the prices of ammunition tend to increase. It’s simple supply and demand: If the supply drops, demand spikes. If you look at 300 Blackout rounds ammo price charts from that time period, you can see where the supply chain hiccupped.  The best time to start building an ammo stack was yesterday, but the second-best time is now. Start now, and if there are supply chain problems in the future, you will already have ammunition waiting, allowing you to weather the disruption while still...

You’ve just bought a gun. What do you do now? From figuring out how you are going to store your new firearm and your 5.56 mm NATO green tip ammo to going out and getting practice with it, there are a few things you should do as a new gun owner. These will help keep you and others safe and familiarize you with your firearm. Plan Storage Solutions First, you need to plan storage solutions. Typically, this means a gun safe. There are a few other options, as well, but this is the most popular for keeping multiple guns and some other, smaller items. You can even keep ammo in it, but you may not have much room.  Which brings about the next thing you need to store: ammo.

How to Avoid 3 Ammo Storage Mistakes

Image
When storing ammo, there are a few mistakes that are easy to make, but also easy to avoid. For one, storing your ammunition in a garage may not be the best idea, depending on where you live. Considering the 5.56 mm green tip price you paid for multiple boxes, you want to keep your investment safe and secure for the next time you head to the range or are in need of ammo. Temperature Fluctuations Storing your ammo somewhere that can swing drastically from hot to cold is an easy mistake to avoid. You want to store your ammunition somewhere where the temperature stays relatively the same, rather than suffering wild swings. Depending on the weather in your area, this might rule out your garage. Instead, consider a closet in your home. Chances are good that the temperature won’t change much. Otherwise, you can start ammunition stockpiling with secure storage features, including climate control. Having a service that securely stores your ammo for you, and even lets you buy mo...
