Kinetic Group Announces Ammo Price Increase - Effective October 1, 2025

Quick Summary:
The Kinetic Group, parent company of Federal, CCI, Speer, Remington, Fiocchi, Blazer, B&P, and Hevi-Shot, has announced ammo price increase across rifle, shotshell, and handgun. The adjustment will take effect on October 1, 2025, with updated price lists distributed by September 1, 2025. Customers should expect 5–7% increases on rifle ammo, 7–10% on shotshells, and 3–12% on handgun ammunition, driven by rising costs of raw materials like brass and lead.

The Kinetic Group, parent company of some of the most trusted ammunition brands in the industry, including Federal, CCI, Speer, Remington, Fiocchi, Hevi-Shot, Blazer, and B&P, has announced a scheduled price increase across multiple product categories. The adjustment, driven by rising costs of key raw materials such as brass, lead, antimony, and propellants, will go into effect on October 1, 2025.

According to the company’s official communication, these increases are necessary to offset the ongoing pressures in the global commodities market. Ammunition manufacturing relies heavily on metals and chemicals that have seen significant cost volatility in recent years.

All existing and future orders shipped on or after October 1st, 2025, will be repriced according to the new pricing, unless you notify us in advance to cancel an order. We will have revised price lists distributed by September 1st, 2025.
According to Kinetic Group Inc.’s official notice to distributors.

What Customers Need to Know

Effective Date: All shipments made on or after October 1, 2025 will reflect the new pricing, even if the order was placed earlier.
Price Lists: Updated price sheets will be distributed to distributors and retailers by September 1, 2025 to allow customers time to review and plan ahead.
Order Flexibility: Customers wishing to avoid the adjusted rates will need to take delivery prior to October 1 or coordinate cancellations before the effective date.

This move is part of a broader trend across the ammunition industry. Rising material costs, global supply chain shifts, and increased demand for certain calibers continue to put pressure on manufacturers. While The Kinetic Group reaffirmed its commitment to delivering high-quality, American-made ammunition, these ammo price increases reflect the realities of today’s production environment.

For Target Sports USA customers, this is an important update to keep in mind when planning upcoming ammunition purchases. If you rely on Federal, CCI, Speer, Remington, Fiocchi, or any of the other Kinetic Group brands, expect adjusted pricing starting in October.

We’ll continue to monitor industry announcements closely and keep our community informed of any further developments that may impact availability, pricing, or supply.
