Cheaper Than Dirt = Fast Shipping

[ChattanoogaPhil]

Sportsman guide shipping is VERY good. HOWEVER.... you pretty much pay the same for 1 box or 50. I just got 4500 rounds of 45 FMJ and shipping was 22.00. It was on backorder for almost 18 months, but I patiently waited as it was 210.00 per case of one thousand then! I buy wholesale and can't touch that price! It is now 450-500 per case there.... 4500 rounds for 1000 bucks! Beat that! I was a happy camper when it all showed up last week!
Prices have gotten way to far out and I dont seee them coming down. Distributors are not having a lot of 45 at all.... 9 is breakin thru but again, prices are up there even wholesale.

$219/1k WOW! That's nearly as low as what it cost me to reload 45ACP with Rainier bullets.

Ammo at retailers as well as primers and powder is really piling up all over this area. I was at Sportsman Warehouse the other day. The shelves are full and pallets are all over the floor.

It was a special 18 months ago! . When I saw it I almost ordered 50,000 rounds and didn't. Still have 6500 rds on B/O at the 210 price.
As I said, I buy at wholesale and on average 45 is 300 per case( PMC, Federal, WWB and the like), 9mm is 190 ( same brands) 38 makes no sense same as 380 on the prices. 223 is average 300 per case also.
( again these are FFL prices) Sportsman has PMC 40 right now for 319 per case I believe. Good price. About 15 bucks a box. That's what I would pay. Put 30 per cent on that for retail on average. The place I was at never gouged. Same markup as last 20 years.

The wholesalers are playing games from what I know. I have friends working at two and if you know the right guys you get what you want. He used to tell one guy they had nothing, then send store I was at 10,000 rounds of 223, 45, 9mm.........one time we even got 10,000 of .380. It's a big game.

Then there are the days that wal mart has ammo for less than I know the store pays for it so that boggles my mind.
