I have been able to purchase reasonably priced 9MM and .38 Special Winchester brand ammo at Wal-Mart and Academy Sports. Sure, they run out. But, neither this manufacturer nor these dealers have taken drastic price increases due to the current shortages. On the other hand, look at Federal, American Eagle, who have doubled the retail price of a 50-round box of their ball cartridges. I wish that large volume dealers, such as Natchez and Cheaper Than Dirt, would quit selling their product. I won't buy them and I sure won't try to buy up more stock than I need. Making exorbitant profits or excaberting shortages caused by fear is not good for our sport.
Beat me up for saying that I don't appreciate price gouging. However, I sure hold a lot of respect for the companies that are looking to the future of shooting, and not pricing many Americans out of it.
