Supply and demand. Prices/inflation finally pushed some hoarders to quit, so things are making it here a little more often, there’s less usage in winter, and supply chains are slightly improved. That opens up some manufacturing capacity for non mil cartridges.
Some component manufactures, notably hodgdon, have refused the engage with the bigger companies (remington and winchester) who were happy to feed the hoarders. That goes a long way because most of the hoarders aren’t handloaders. The primer supply is very monopolized though. Thats why it is the last to recover.
Prices are about where we figured they’d stabilize at. Don’t think we’re gonna see a drop any time soon, but you never know what the yanks are gonna do next.
I’ll bet there will be a federal liberal/ndp attack on ammo supplies in the last 6-12 months before the election. Same as always - you want it, get it asap and put it on your shelf. Dont count on future availability
