Just under 4 million NICS firearms related background checks in the last month alone.
Zero new ammo manufacturing plants built any time recently.
All those new gun owners need ammo, so.............

I pray they will not be but based on the crazy stuff that's happened in the last couple of months, nothing will surprise me.
This is true
Walmart kept the prices down. When Walmart got out of the handgun ammo business, the prices skyrocketed.
You guys wanted mom and pop, you got mom and pop.

Supply and demand. Expect it to go up from here - Until 3NOV.
After Trump wins again - It'll drop back down to around a quarter per round....

It'll take a while this time.
Assuming Trump wins of course, it could take a year or so for ammo to get back down to the low prices we saw over the last few years.
In 2016 everyone had ramped up in anticipation of a huge rush after Hillary won, and got stuck with inventory sitting on the shelves. And of course everyone thought they had plenty of time to stockpile until the 2020 election, so ammo just sat there.
That's why before all this COVID stuff hit, 9mm was about $8 a box and ammo makers were offering rebates on 223.
This time around we have a double whammy, with COVID stripping the shelves and then a long Summer of fake 'polls' telling everyone that Biden will win in November to drive up demand.
That'll keep the ammo makers running at capacity through the election at least, and assuming Trump wins, they will need at least 6 months after that just to refill the supply chain.
After all that, you *might* start seeing some deals, but my guess is Summer 2021 before we see cheap and plentiful ammo again.
Hope everyone bought what they need for the next year or so...

You guys a missing the bigger issue. As a manufacturer of ammunition I can not buy any components to manufacture 9mm, 45, 300 or 5.56. Besides the run on demand, there are component sources in Europe that are are drying up too. By now we usually have an idea what will be delivered next year but so far the amount available is very low.

Small pistol primers have been scarce for months. 9mm projectiles are out of stock frequently (online). It's been challenging keeping up a 2,000 Rd monthly pistol practice routine. .223 projectiles and primers should see some shortages too.
