If you’ve been around this industry long enough, you know how this goes.
When an ammo manufacturer starts talking about “making room,” it’s not because they suddenly found religion and embraced minimalism. It’s because new production is coming, storage space is finite, and the stuff that’s already boxed up has to move.
That’s exactly what’s happening at HOP Munitions right now.
The veteran-operated ammunition manufacturer based in Ohio just kicked off its largest end-of-year clearance sale to date as it prepares for expanded production heading into 2026.
Translation: existing inventory is getting discounted, so new runs can take its place.
More than 20 ammunition products are already on sale, with additional items added as December progresses. Training ammo, hunting rounds, subsonic loads, and some of their more specialized offerings are all fair game—once it’s gone, it’s gone.
One of the guys at HOP summed it up plainly: this is the once-a-year pricing window they use to rotate inventory before the presses start running again for next year. If you’ve shot their ammo before, you already know what you’re getting. If you haven’t, this is about as low-risk as it gets to try something new without paying peak-season prices.
Another detail worth noting—and one TTAG readers tend to appreciate—is where the money goes. Military veterans staff HOP’s operation, and purchases directly support that workforce; just vets building ammo and keeping the lights on by doing things the right way.
Quick rundown of the clearance:
- More than 20 discounted ammo products
- New items added as inventory shifts
- Clearance pricing runs through December 31
- Availability depends entirely on remaining stock
If you’re already stocking up for training season, hunting next year, or just want to pad the ammo locker before prices do what prices always seem to do, this is one of those moments worth paying attention to.
