We have just received word that ATK will be increasing prices effective May 1,2011. This would include the following brands: Federal, American Eagle, Speer,CCI, Blazer,Estate, Black Cloud, Champion, and Fusion.
The increase is as follows:
Center Handgun 7-15%
Promo Rimfire 10-15%
Standard Rimfire 5-10%
Shotshell 5-10%
Primers 10%
This increase is due to the cost of raw materials.
Remember - "The one who dies with the most ammo, dies last".

While I appreciate having some notice of increasing prices the MAYDAY call is customarily reserved for imminent threats to life and limb.

Well that's no good. Oh, and I changed the title of this post, some folks were a little sensitive to the "Maday" title. Hope you don't mind. Carry on.

Its nice to have folks on the forum who can warn us of impending price increases (not talking about illegal stock market trading - of course).
The new thread title is more descriptive. I like it. Thanks Martin!

Over the last 5 years, ammo has easily been my best investment of all my assets, including a house, cars, clothes, stocks, jewelry, etc. My house is "underwater". My ammo I bought 5 years has more than doubled in value. I am not advising everybody to go out and buy ammo. I'm just making an observation. Heck, I almost don't want to practice shooting anymore because my ammo is a precious asset.

Like those specialized companies that allow people to hold gold and silver in a personal Individual Retirement Account, gotta find one that allows people to hold ammo in an IRA!
