Yesterday I was in the grocery store picking up the weekly essentials. Got into a conversation with the check-out clerk on how prices were going up on just about everything. My wife commented that if the price hadn't gone up then the size of the package or amount of contents had gone down, therefore more cost per "unit". The clerk told us that Coke was a good example of that in that their shelf sized Case was now 20 cans instead of 24.
OK, now to the Ammo manufacturers. For as long as I can remember, rifle ammo has been boxed in '20's and pistol ammo in '50's. A while back I was somewhat surprised to note some pistol ammo now being boxed in packages of 20 for the more "exotic" and thus more expensive types.
How long until the regular sized boxes start to shrink, with the price remaining the same? How long before Rifle ammo is packed in boxes of let's say 12 and pistol in boxes of 40?
How will price increases affect your practice time? Do you think reloading might become more attractive to a larger group of pistol shooters?
If practice time is decreased due to costs, what other actions will you take to keep your gun handling skills sharp?
