"Discussion on numerous gundude forums has been about what sanctions the U.S. will levy against Russia for its Georgian excursion. Many feel cheap and affordable ammo from Russia is surely doomed, such as that marketed by Wolf, Barnaul and others. As a result, speculation on cases prices of former ComBloc calibers has gone through the roof in a very short period of time. As an example, Silver Bear (Barnaul) 9x18 Makarov JHP, which last month sold for $180 per 1000 round case, is now selling for nearly $400 on various gundude forums when it can be found. Commercial distributors have been sold out."
