Now Biden is seeking to punish gun owners and at the same time chastise Russia by further banning the importation of firearms ammunition even as the country faces the greatest shortage of cartridges it has ever seen.
“New and pending permit applications for the permanent importation of firearms and ammunition manufactured or located in Russia will be subject to a policy of denial,” the U.S. State Department announced last week. The start date for the “ban” would begin on September 7, 2021, while the sanctions are expected to be in place for a minimum of twelve months.

Wolf is Ukrainian now, I think
Will there be an exception for all the Afghan fighters that are being imported into our country? Asking for a friend.
Wolf resells some Serbian ammo made by Privi Partizan. I don’t think there is any steel case coming from Serbia.
Wayne07 informs me that that plant was destroyed. At one time, Wolf made .22 ammo in Germany. I’m not sure what other assets they have. Pretty sure Serbia manufactures steel case 7.62x39.
I suspect the market will do what it takes to meet demand. Cost is the question.
Maybe the Czech Republic will step up brass cased ammo production If the price point gets high enough. reloading may become more a more viable option. With the already stressed components market, who knows?
Yup! Eastern Europe can pick up some of the slack on brass ammo, but the super cheap, mass produced steel that makes shooting 7.62x39 a joy is really dependent on Russia supply. You'll be able to get ~$.60 cpr brass x39, but Biden killed and chance we'd get back to the $.20 cpr days.
Never say never.
Precisely, they’ll simply shift manufacturing around or even print the boxes to misrepresent Russian manufactured ammunition as made elsewhere.
