It goes in cycles. 7.62x39 was $60 a case of 1,000, then $350 in a matter of months back around 2006-7 thanks to the U.N. getting involved with international ammo sales. We were selling 8mm surplus by the pallet load. Everytime the govt gets a bug up there ass about guns, primers, ammo, etc it starts a frenzy. I am a bit worried this time though due to who we have in the White House at the moment.
I don't think it will cause a run on leather holsters----Kydex, and Cordura maybe, but not leather since most of what is being sold are "tactical" firearms.
