Possible ammo price spike on the way?

#1 Post by Chuck »

Anything from the USA could be more expensive due to political nonsense and the ATF?

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016 ... Newsletter
Just recently the ATF sent out their monthly explosives industry newsletter detailing a new take on the legalities regarding transporting “wetted” nitrocellulose, a compound used in the production of smokeless powder, stating that wetting the nitrocellulose no longer made it a non-explosive and it would be subject to increased regulation.

What this means for the ammunition industry is largely unknown at this time. There is speculation as always that the price of ammunition will go through the roof, but without knowing more about the new ruling and what new hoops manufacturers will have to jump through any speculation is better received from a set of discount tarot cards.
Political Correctness is the language of lies, written by the corrupt , spoken by the inept!

I should think that components are going to be more expensive anyway, due to the present weakness of the Pound Sterling against the US dollar.
