I mean, at this point the only thing not increasing in price bullets, so I get it.
This guy hasn't bought ammo recently.
Maybe you can ask them to sell you an individual one or see if they give out free samples.
Yeah, right.

Eh, article is from 2021.
I can give you more current ones but they’re all from gun magazines, and I’m not sure if that’s allowed here. But I suggest you just google “ammunition prices rising” if you want to know.
Unless you prefer to keep your prejudiced opinion, I guess.
Lol, okay.
Yeah, naw, I don't keep close track of ammo prices, but it was my understanding that the pandemic saw prices spike, but that they've leveled off (and started to come down, though only minimally) since the "pandemic wound down".
Though, this isn't something I keep my finger to the pulse of, so if you have more recent info, I'd appreciate it (feel free to DM if you're hesitant to post as comment).
Yeah, according to what I've heard, this hasn't been the case for ammo, whose prices continued to rise in 2022 and 2023, apparently due to massive production shortages (Ukraine might have something to do with it). Like I said, just do the google search I suggested, and you'll find plenty of articles discussing this.
Either way, the claim that bullets are the only thing that hasn't gone up in price is definitely fake news.
Inflation is getting out of hand /s
