Last year saw record firearm sales, driven by fears of the pandemic. Additionally, there were some five million first-time buyers in 2020 and as a result of the increased demand, prices of firearms increased steadily, but ammunition prices have essentially skyrocketed.

Common calibers including 7.62x39mm and 9x19mm have reached record prices.

When shooting these rounds you can expect that it will be a costly day at the range. (Note: many of the prices below could be much higher due to what seem like regional price increases due to the ammo shortage the U.S. is seeing.)
