TFB Behind the Gun #165: Tariffs and Ammo Prices w/ Dan Wolgin

While we do our best to stay completely out of the realm of politics, when it comes to ammunition and firearms, there’s a lot that can still be said without diving too deep into the hard politics side of things. Today, I’ve brought on Dan Wolgin, CEO of Ammunition Depot, to talk about his recent press release, where he urged customers and readers to panic less about what the recent global tariff situation might do to the ammunition industry.
As you’ll hear today, Dan has a lot of optimism regarding the future of ammo prices and availability and is also a strong believer in not only the reliability but the sustainability of our domestic ammunition supply chain. If you’re interested in listening to a real insider's perspective on the ammunition manufacturing and distribution industry, tune in and let Dan Wolgin give us a detailed breakdown of tariffs and their effects on ammo prices.

TFB Behind the Gun #165: Tariffs and Ammo Prices w/ Dan Wolgin (Ammunition Depot)
Join us this week on TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast for an engaging conversation with Dan Wolgin, CEO of Ammunition Depot, as we dive into the hot topic of ammunition prices and why gun owners don’t need to be “tariff-ied" of the recent tariffs being levied both by and against the United States. In this episode, Dan breaks down the strength of the U.S. ammo supply chain, explaining how domestic production keeps prices stable despite tariff rumors of ammo shortages and skyrocketing prices. We tackle the real threat of panic buying, a concern for every Second Amendment supporter, and get practical tips on avoiding shortage-driven spikes as well as what customers can do to hedge their bets against real uncertainty and volatility within the firearms industry. For reloaders, Dan shares insights on the ongoing smokeless powder shortage and whether it’ll hit retail ammo prices. Plus, we explore why ammo prices have dropped recently and how Ammunition Depot supports the gun community in keeping shooting affordable. Whether you’re stocking up for the range or defending your rights, this episode is packed with must-know info for every gun owner.
