Oh, by the way..........

[Nevada Ed]

The wife and I were invited over for a 6pm meal last night and to
meet the DnLaws new boy friend for the first time and also watch the Knight's Hockey game, that was showing after the meal.

Long story short, Kelly came up to me as the table was being cleared and said,

Oh, by the way, I just bought a 1,000 factory 9mm rounds.
With shipping and tax's a little over $800, should be here in a week.

Well that's nice.
I just hope it was a good move and saved her $$ if she had to order later on, with the way the price of ammo is climbing.

It amazes me how the price keeps going up.

Mercy.

Gotta strike while the irons hot it can always get worse.

 

[Rudi]

Get what ever you can when ever you can.

 

[ajgunner]

OUCH---I guess if you don't reload you have to pay the piper, but 80 cents per round---CRAZY.

 

[bigggbbruce]

Yesterday at my LGS

LLP.. 1000 @$44
Xtreme 240gr lrn..500.. $59.95
HP 38.. $34

Gotta be in the right place..and have good people..

 

[MTC(SS)Ret]

I was just checking ammoseek.com and new, brand name brass case 115gr 9mm is selling for ridiculous prices. Norma 72 cents a round, Blazer 90 cents, Federal 92 cents. And these are bulk prices.
Insanity.
And 22LR for 35 cents a round?? ***?

I’m tempted to start selling reloads out of my garage...almost [emoji848]

 

[KalamazooKid]

Unfreakingbelievable!

 

[Dieseltech56]

I am really shocked at what ammo prices have become. It’s almost like it’s a collectors item. At that price you price you probably are wasting it at the range

 

[ISCS Yoda]

It’s almost like it’s a collectors item. At that price you probably are wasting it at the range

I agree. I'm very hesitant to shoot too much of any caliber with the prices at current levels.

 

[KalamazooKid]

I can’t possibly shoot all of the 22 LR I have in my lifetime. So outside of staying sharp with my carry gun that’s what I’m shooting these days.

 

[Muddyboot]

Unfreakingbelievable!

You should take a tour of GunBrokers ammo sales, lots of the poplar
ammo is going for crazy prices. We've been here before, this will pass.
( I really hope).....

And if I run out of ammo and components can it be replaced and at what price. I'm amused at the reloaders that brag about how cheap they can shoot because they bought supplies back when they were cheap so it's much cheaper to reload and the availability of factory ammo doesn't affect them. When they need too replace their supplies they will be in for a rude awakening. Larry

“Ask not for whom the bell tolls...”

And reloaders are helping to keep some pressure off the current market. Can you imagine what prices would be like if everybody was trying to buy ammo?

 

[petepeterson]

I agree. I'm very hesitant to shoot too much of any caliber with the prices at current levels.

It does feel a little different this time. I'm not sure it's going to come down at all.

 

[mikerjf]

Predicting anything is a fool's game at this point. Lots of stuff happening that never has before.

In the context of entering a new Dark Ages, ammo prices are actually not too bad!

Or you could look at it this way: Is 1000 rounds of ammo worth 11 pieces of paper?

There will be no joy in Mudville. Larry

 

[smoothshooter]

I agree. I'm very hesitant to shoot too much of any caliber with the prices at current levels.

I have gotten back to shooting my percussion revolvers and flintlock long guns almost exclusively to keep from depleting my cartridge supply.
For the kind of shooting and hunting I do, I have not given up much regarding performance. Most people do not realize what black powder guns are capable of doing.

 

[smoothshooter]

It does feel a little different this time. I'm not sure it's going to come down at all.

Especially after ammo companies start shutting down because they have become uninsurable.
