What's happened to the price of bullets recently.......?
About 12 months ago I paid about £15 for a box of 100 Speer 6.5mm Hotcore bullets but the price has shot up recently and today I was quoted £39 by the Sportsman and RSD weren't much cheaper!!!
Whilst the £ to $ exchange rate isn't fantastic at the moment there must be a good reason for the price of bullets more than doubling? Is it a case of the British shooters being ripped off again by importers?, or are the US manufacturers running low on raw materials as the US government replenish their supplies?
Even the price of factory ammunition which some of my stalking friends buy is rocketing in price.... Some are paying £2 a round!
