This video discusses the significant increase in ammunition prices observed in early 2026. The speaker attributes these hikes to rising raw material costs, specifically for copper, brass, lead, and primers. Manufacturers like Winchester and the Kinetic Group (Federal, CCI, Remington) have implemented price adjustments ranging from 3% to over 10% on various ammunition types, with defensive rounds seeing the most substantial increases.
The video discusses the worsening ammunition crisis of 2022, attributing it to skyrocketing raw material costs (brass, steel, aluminum, lead) driven by global demand and supply chain issues. It highlights how increased focus on green energy impacts lead availability, and rising fuel costs inflate transportation expenses. The speaker predicts continued scarcity and increased prices for ammunition, potentially making the previous shortage seem minor.
