A month or so ago Ammoshoponline was running a sale for norma 9mm, 115 or 124 gr fmj for a little over $15.00 per box with free shipping for any order over $150.00. I figured at the current pricing this was a pretty good deal and bought a case of 124gr. I saved about 30 to 40 bucks in shipping alone. With what's going on in the world lately I have a feeling prices are only going to go up again.

Even if reloading doesn't save you a lot of money, it does have other advantages. The first is allowing you to shoot more and experimenting with different loads.

A big advantage is shooting oddball loads, like the .41 Long Colt in my case. Or as GypsmJim pointed out, a rewarding lifelong hobby.

Not everything we do with this hobby is just about the money.

Right now, ammo is not my greatest concern. My brother has sufficient and more for a company of rifle men and a platoon of shotgunners. I'm a little light on defensive handgun ammo in .38 Spl and that's about it. What is worrying me is fuel prices, & my Cherokee averages 30 mpg day in day out. I just ordered a fat tire e-bike that I can charge with a portable solar generator with a cargo kit. I'm pricing bike trailers, too. Now I need to find a handlebar ATV long gun mount for my SU-16C & Maverick 88 Security 12 ga. My brother & I can outfit or supplement 1 or 2 squads worth of adults (I've already given guns to my daughters,1 son-in-law, 2 grandchildren & my grandson-in-law. Most of the men have military (some combat) experience as does my granddaughter. We have 6 mos to a year of food 25 year food stores & water filtration equipment. Living in the country has advantages. This is out my back door.

Lots of ammo in some calibers now. Who knows when it could dry up. Good to be ready.

Rudi, that's exactly why I decided to bite the bullet and buy some ammo at the higher prices so at least I'd have a pretty good supply in case the availability dried up. I'm pretty good to go now.

I think I might just wait a little bit longer...........

My wallet would take a heck of a beating if I had to shell out $1.60 per round
for a box of 50 rounds of .357 Magnum ammo.

No telling where this this train is going to stop. Primers @ $120/+shipping, cheap ammo is considered .37 cents a round for 9mm?
Wife and I went to a match in Ga two weeks ago and regular gas was $4.35. Thankfully I was good and made it to a more reasonably priced station.

Try buying a car for anything close to list price without fees added on!

Idk where it will end up!

Regards,
Rick Gibbs

The first 50 round box of .22 LR "hi-speed" hollow points I ever paid for cost me a whole $0.59 in 1962.

I'm fairly sure they were the same price in 1970 too.
