I don't shoot .45acp or I would've purchased a box

If I would had been there I would have bought all they had. Larry

Sad when double the price for ammo is seen as a good thing. I would have left it on the shelf. I'm willing to pay more for ammo during these times, but not double the price and more.

How much was 45 going for pre-pandemic?

I sold my last 45 about 5 years ago. But it runs in my mind the price was higher than $.21/round.

Last I seen, about a year or so ago, Walmart had 100 packs of WW white box .45 acp 230 FMJ at $38.00 a box.

So not so bad a price at all for today's market.

You're right. My math was wrong. The OP's price is higher than a year ago but okay for now.

$83. for 4 boxes is about $21. a box. Before the panic I bought some for $14. a box so I think $21. is pretty good price considering the circumstances. Of course my wife says that my thinking is not very good. Larry

Ok, you got me.

I sold my new brass Fiocchi 45acp in mid 2018 and got only 11 a box of 50 since everywhere online at the time was around 12 bucks a box. That was one of my dumber moments in life parting with a ton for that price.

I have one remaining 1911 and over 1,500 rounds of 45 ACP, LOL. I will pass the information along to my brother in law.

Sold all my 45acp with last slabside a few years ago.

Fell into a 625-8...where's the Ammo ?

Almost worth it.

Early Covid I bought my SIL 2 boxes of Win White Box 45 ACP.
Got it at NRA Whittington.
They have a small retail store and still had some ammo.

What brand was the .45 ammo for $83 for 200 rnds?

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Went to Cabalas.
Lined up.
What's available?

Got 500 rounds of 22.

 

[S&W&J]

200 rounds of Winchester .45 230 FMJ bought in November, 2015 for $72.97 before tax at Walmart.

Just sitting in my closet.

What is a BiMart?

Chain of stores in the NW. Membership, concrete floors. Sort of a mini Costco before Costco was a thing.

I was down to my local BiMart this morning. I was meeting a guy that was buying bulk bullets from me. They open at 10am and as I was waiting for my buyer to show up, I watched 4 pickups with 7 guys pull in and walk inside. It has become common knowledge that they get their sporting goods in on tuesdays. My guy showed up and as we chatted all of the pickup guys were walking out empty handed. I asked one guy if they had ammo and he says noting but some 17. I told him what I had and sold him some bullets I have been peddling.

Figured I might as well go in and check for myself since I was already there. As I walked up to the back sporting good counter a guy was wheeling a stack of boxes out of the back. He says yes it feels like there is ammo in here. He pulled out a case of Winchester 45acp 230gr FMJ, bulk 100rd boxes so I grab 2 (2 per caliber is their limit) at $42.97 per box of 100. Then he pulled out a case of Winchester 380 in 85gr (defensive ammo) in a 20 round box for $11.69, so I grabbed 2. The last case he pulled out was Remington 50 round plain Jane brown generic box, 115gr FMJ at $17.97, so I grabbed 2.

None of this is for me since I load my own for a fraction of these prices. All is for either friends, family, or resale. Before I left the counter everything from all 3 cases was gone. I have been buying plenty of 9mm at this same store when I happen to get lucky on the right day. The price on 9mm has gone from around $0.20 per round, to now $0.36 per round in the past year. I have been reselling at $0.50 per round to guys in need that have not been lucky enough to find it. The current on-line local price for 9mm is now in the $0.70 to $1.00 per round range.

Just happy I have all I need and can still load 9mm for about $0.12 per round for lead, and $0.18 per round for FMJ. All the lead, primers, and powder I invested in back in the 80's and 90's has suddenly become a really good investment.

I wouldn't go into a WalMart for free ammo! We hate Wally world with a passion.

Keep an eye on Federal's website. I just got 5 boxes of American Eagle (the limit per order) 230gr fmj for $24.99/box and free shipping.

Now here's the rub, I signed up for email notifications but never received any, I just check the website when I wake in the morning. My 1911s seem to have a preference for this so I try to get it whenever I come across if the price is right.

I do the same with Sig ammo which also shoots very nice in my 1911s.

Federal has a website that sells ammo directly to consumers?
