Bargain on .44 Rem Mag?

[eksund]

Yesterday I bought 200 rounds of .44 Rem Mag for $15 (appr. after money conversion) for the lot.

Since I've heard and read some about high ammo prices in US I got curious about it. And what did I find!?

In EU we can obtain 9mm Magtech 124gr fmj for around .40 cent.
When I look at Cheaper than dirt:s web, they charge .80 cent.
Couple of years ago I paid under .20 cents for 9mm.

For a .38spl we pay around .50 cent and CTD "offer" them for $2!

It seems to be about the same difference thru out any caliber.

What is going on?

And I really hope that the ammunition price you have in US stays there. I find it expensive enough here in EU.

Well, once again I have to replay to myself.

I search for cheap ammunition us on line and find, what I thought was a decent dealer. But it turns out that "Cheaper Than Dirt" is one the most expensive dealers found.

So when I look at other sellers, I don't think the prices differs that much between EU and US.

Most folks around here will go to "Cheaper than Dirt" if they pay us to carry off the ammo. Joe

From what I have seen, Cheaper Than Dirt's dirt is actually gold dust. They are among the most expensive retailers and I think I read that the Texas state attorney general is investigating them for possible price gouging during the pandemic/panic. Their prices have come down, at the peak of the panic they were offering 9x19mm FMJ ammo at $1 per round.

At what point does free market supply and demand become price gouging ?
Seems to me oil companies have been doing this for years

CTD is a rip off company..........NOTHING thy have is CTD....When their catalogs come they go straight to the trash.

That's a Cheap price for 44 Mag!
As I reported, this past Thursday I bought 9mm FMJ for $16.99 a box of 50 at Cabela's.
That would appear to be the new 'regular' price here when you can find it.
After I bought 8 boxes, they only had about 10 boxes remaining.

44 Mag is about 1.40/rd. US here.
