Early this morning I lucked into three boxes of WWB Value Pak-100 rounds at Walmart's normal price of $34. By comparason Cabelas was selling .22 LR for $50/100 while my LGS has the same ammo (forgot the brand) for $29/100. I understand supply and demand, but these differences are significant. Anybody else experiencing the same thing?

I saw 22LR at walmart today at its normal price and I picked up some .40 S&W for $18 a box and some .223 at a higher price but it as not the cheaper stuff to begin with but it was available and I had not seen any of it anywhere for awhile so I grabbed some. Cabelas was selling American Eagle 223 for $10 a box at the start of Feb but have not seen any there since then. Have not really seen to much of price gouging around here.

My local wal-mart is selling the 100rd box Federal 9mm Luger 115GR in the maroon box for $8.97. Weird thing is the ammo has been on the shelf all morning and they still have a good 30 boxes of so left as of about an hour ago. Maybe the 9mm ammo hunters are so exhausted by empty shelves that they quit looking for ammo.
They even have a Colt in 5.56 at the same wal-mart.

wow thats a shock. Most of the ammo I have found has all been from walmart. In my area it seems to be on the shelf more towards mid day not when they first open. I found 223 and .40 at two different walmarts today both past noon time and one of them had 22LR as well.

Hi Smitty
Are you sure it was $8.97 for the 100 and not $18.97 ? Thanks

Pretty positive it was $8 something(ish). I actually had to look at that price a few times to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Same with the Colt AR. I had to look a few times to be sure i was seeing an AR in the display case. And a Colt at that, lol.

How about the shop in Jacksonville that dropped prices on their AR stock $600-$800 dollars from Friday to the following Monday? If they can do that that quick, there is no reason they should be $2,000 for an M&P sport. Can you imagine the irate people that may have bought one at that price and then seen that they dropped the price to $949 3 days later ?

Of course I got my 3 boxes, LoL. I wasnt about to let my share get away for that price. Plus if i didnt buy my 3 boxes, someone else would have. Not often do i buy ammo, but I wasnt passing this up.

Yep. In Gander in Palm Beach today. Looks like the ammo has gone up about 20-30 percent depending on how they felt about at the time. At least the personal protection stuff I noticed.

The local WallyWorld has been sending customers to us because their selves are bare.
Lets see:
500 count Hornady 124 Grain FMJ-RN = $58.00
500 count Remington 1-1/2 primers = $14.50
500 charges Power Pistol Powder @ 5.5 grain = $7.75
500 count recycled brass cases from the range = $0.00.
2 Hours uninterrupted solitude in the fortress = Priceless.
Total = $16.05/100 count.

Good day for me
My LGS has ammo in the pipeline from ATK (Federal, CCI) and PMC distributors. He said his cost has gone up about $4 a box on 9MM and .40 S&W, nearly $5 a box on .45 ACP, .38 Special, .357 Mag and .44 Mag.
Rimfire ammo has similar cost increases. His cost on CCI Blazer went from $16.50 for 500 to $25 for 500. Federal 510 .40 grain went from costing him $18 per 500 to nearly $28 per 500. If that is the case, it looks like $28 to $40 a brick will become normal price. Part of the cost increase is higher transportation costs. $4.25 per gallon diesel fuel has lead to much higher freight charges since January.

People on armslist prices:
50 9mm: $25. (Should cost $13-15)
550 .22lr $50 (Should cost $24.99)
I can't even go out to the range anymore. Its ridicules. In Cleveland Area Wal-Marts are sold out all over, gander and Fin Feather and Fur prices are about 30% more.
So now I just buy the firearms instead of ammo. The prices are fairly consistent and when things settle down I am going to buy cases of ammo online in bulk.

You are fortunate- all the Walmarts in my area are only stocking hunting rifle and shotgun ammo at the moment. No .22 LR and no pistol ammo.
