Black Basin Outdoors Featured on The Weekly Reload Podcast: Breaking Down Ammo Market Trends

Author: | Publish Date: May 12, 2025 | Fact checked by: Marko Lalovic

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from the Black Basin Outdoors team! Our very own CMO Nathaniel Boos, was recently featured as a guest on the industry respected Weekly Reload Podcast, hosted by Stephen Gutowski. This episode dives deep into the real-world effects of recent tariffs on the ammunition market-a topic that’s top of mind for shooters, hunters, and industry insiders alike.

What Makes This Episode Special?

Nathaniel joined Stephen to discuss how current tariffs are impacting ammo prices and availability. Drawing from Black Basin Outdoors’ industry-leading pricing data, Nathaniel offered an insider’s look at what’s really happening behind the scenes. Here are some key takeaways:

  • Stable Prices-For Now: Despite a 10% tariff on imported ammunition, prices for popular calibers like 9mm and 5.56 NATO have remained relatively steady. American manufacturers have responded by lowering prices to regain market share, keeping things balanced for consumers.

  • Shifting Market Dynamics: Some overseas suppliers have stopped shipping to the U.S., and Nathaniel cautioned that while prices are stable now, they could rise later in the year if supply tightens and demand increases.

  • Real-World Data: Black Basin Outdoors is proud to provide the most comprehensive and transparent ammo pricing data available online, helping customers make informed decisions in a fast-changing market
