Ammo Sales

Anything in 32 caliber? 32 S&W Long, 32acp, 32 H&R magnum, 327 magnum. These are what I've been searching for - especially the two flavors of magnums.
None to be had anywhere locally, not much online either (ammoseek included) and what there is is priced sky high.

One LGS had the 327 Magnum, he also had 7.62x25 Tokarev.

But zilch on .38 Spl./.357 Mag.

Go figure
 
I just got back from Cabela's for some fishing gear.

I walked over to the ammo department and was not too excited at what I saw and their prices on the ammo boxs.

I know that you don't have to pay shipping but...............
I think they added that in, also ??

Yes ever since Bass pro bought Cabelas, there prices were going up at a steady pace, but now bass pro seems to accelerated their price gouging. All I can say is I will remember the stores that are raising their prices when this is over. Luckily I do not need much.

...and then some...

BUT, at least we're starting to actually SEE some ammo on their shelves, which is a good sign - even if the price for it is still 3x what it was pre-pandemic.
 
Went to Cabela's yesterday to pick up an FN Tactical .45 I bought to set up with my suppressors. While waiting on the NICS check I wandered the ammo aisles. They had just about every caliber and good supplies of all of them. Prices were still 2-3 x pre-pandemic levels. No limits on anything except primers, but of course that shelf was empty. There were 3 - 8LB jugs of powder in the 250.00 range and I didn't even recognize it.
No interest at that price.

The sales guy who did my 4473 said that people are still walking in and buying at these prices without question, but he believes they are new gun owners that have no frame of reference and no inventory at home.

I am still in the wait and see camp, I do not believe the market will sustain this pricing.
 
Some sellers are selling ammo on GB with no reserve. Good buys can be had by being vigilant. I bought 500 Russian .45 acps yesterday for 19.50 a box shipped. Today I got another 500 from the same seller for 17.00 a box shipped to my door. :D
 
Want to buy my car?
It's a 2020 RAV4.
The Dealer I bought it from recently offered me more than I paid for it.
So I sell my RAV, get some money.
But - But - then I don't have a car to drive!
So I'll keep my car and pay the current price for Ammo.
 
On the road today, stoped in Palmetto State Armory, Sportsman Warehouse and an Academy Sports. Same high prices and there was quite a lot of 9 mm on all the shelves. Same Stupid price for 7.62 Win. ball about $28-29 a box when wally world has same for $21. 22 RF also stupid prices when wally world has plenty at almost half their prices??????
 
Once again remember that ammo is cheap in socialistic countries, there just isn't any. If I owned stock in a company that wasn't maximizing the profits I would sell the stock. Supply and demand thank goodness still prices ammo in the US . When this no longer is in effect it won't matter cause your guns will have already been picked up. Be careful what you wish for .

a little bit of blackpowder on hand.

Blackpowder is the one thing I don't remember vaporizing in past panics and Goex's demise didn't help. You can't even find percussion caps, thankfully the 1k+ I have goes A LONG WAY.

I hope whoever bought Goex gets the plant up and running in the near future, I really like their Olde Eynsford line.

I highly doubt we'll see pre-pandemic prices with how much everything is sky-rocketing (except my pay) but things should come back down inline.

In a sense the antis are winning. If prices increase again for (insert next panic reason) you're going to need to be in the Forbes 400 to shoot:rolleyes:

FWIW, stopped in Bass Pro in Savannah on way home. Their ammo prices were quite a bit better than everywhere else. Bought a box of 45 ACP ball for about $30. Academy, Palmetto and Sportsman Warehouse were almost $50.
 
Been looking for jacketed 45 ACP rounds, no 230 ball found, 185 JHP over $50/ 100. Have a small " stash" of 230 and 1 box of JHP so guess its continue casting 201 KT which are very accurate in all my Colts.

Ammo isn't going back down to what you paid in the 1960's, pops.

In the '60's I made $200 a week as a junior engineer. Now, I make $300 an hour.

I don't expect 60's prices - it would be moronic to think that. I simply want 2019 prices, Sunny...
 
With all that is going on prices for not only ammo but everything else could skyrocket far worse. Just lookin for the best deal I can get NOW. Can't wait to see gas prices in 2 months!!
