Gun store owners discuss the current state of ammunition pricing, noting that while prices have dropped from their peak, they are unlikely to return to historical lows due to inflation and increased component costs. The influx of more affordable imported ammunition, often steel-cased, is contributing to lower prices, but domestic manufacturers still cater to a preference for 'Made in USA' products. Consumer behavior, specifically holding the line on excessively high prices, is credited with driving down demand and subsequently prices.

Joel Park discusses defining effective practice ammunition, emphasizing cost and availability as primary factors. He advises against training with ammunition significantly softer than competition loads, as it can hinder adaptation to recoil. Conversely, training with hotter loads and then switching to milder competition ammo is acceptable. For rifle training, PMC and Winchester 55-grain FMJ are recommended for their value, while steel case like Wolf is noted for lower recoil compared to XM193.
