Buyers are taking cases, not boxes

Ammo is moving first. Since Tuesday’s election, gun shops report buyers walking out with cases, not boxes, of 9mm, .223/5.56 and .22 LR. Korean ammo maker Poongsan, a major supplier to U.S. stores, told investors on November 3 that American buyers were stockpiling before the vote.

Background checks tied to gun sales rose 7.9% in October compared with last year, and major ammo makers have announced price increases of 5% to 10% on orders delivered after January 1.
