WOW just WOW

[Ole Joe Clark]

WalMart still has 22LR at "normal" prices, same as they were a year ago, on the Federals that I buy.

But, they had a box of 20, 7mm Mags, the other day for $53.87 plus 10% tax.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

It is his ammo but his greed put the quality of his character in question. I would never pay someone to take advantage of me. I wouldn’t by from him now or ever in the future.

The assumption is prices will normalize, well how many thought the pandemic would happen?

Normalcy bias is a wonderful thing till reality smacks you up side the head.

The only issue I see is not having ammo when you need it and that’s a call we all make individually.

WOW is right.

I'm in pretty good shape myself but I would like more .45 ACP ammo.

A good friend of mine told me to never worry as he has more .45 ACP than both of us can ever shoot.

I need friends like that.

I've noticed on the local gun buying boards people are selling ammo at ridiculous prices . One guy was selling 45 sd rounds at a dollar each . I seriously doubt it's guys that have been in the gun world for a while . It's like a hurricane down here , someone is always out to sc*** someone else .

Pistol ammo is really hard to find around here. When Academy gets it in, it's still at regular prices. It disappears fast.
Dunham's and a farm and ranch store that sells ammo have raised their prices, but their shelves are just as empty.
But, we have our greedy sellers too. Alot are on Armslist offering ammo at high prices. Some are pretty brazen about it. One guy has a box of .380 posted. The picture shows the price tag of $17.99 but he has it posted on sale for $50.

Supply-demand kind of thing. Quite frankly, the people who were blind to the past antics of a certain political party...that hires street thugs to intimidate and harm non-compliant people and their property....are going to have to pay.
Many of those who are now paying dearly for ammo didn't want to pay attention to those 'tin-foil-hat wearers' and 'ammo hoarders'.
I feel sorry only for the young people who are now becoming of age to purchase guns and ammo.

The Hornady Critical Duty price is same as Midwayusa. 'Cept Potterfield don't got none.

I paid a dollar a round for 41long colt, but it was the only I’ve ever seen for sale.

This is reminiscent of the 22 long rifle drought several years back. There was a guy selling 22 long rifle and his prices were ludicrous.

The 22 long rifle drought ceased and the guy dropped his prices, no one bought anything. Hopefully he had 22 long rifle rounds in his breakfast bowl instead of corn flakes.

I can remember seeing a seller back then trying to sell .22 Long Rifle shells at $80 per brick. The operative word is "trying", because I never saw the stack getting any smaller.

Here in upstate NY handgun ammo is nonexistent, most hunting ammo is also now almost nonexistent. All the local Bass Pro has is 12 gauge birdshot, some 300 Magnum rifle ammo and a few boxes of 32s. Anything else you'd better be in the aisle when the ammo shipments are wheeled in...

A couple of years ago I bought a no name, no caliber revolver that I thought should be some kind of a .38. When I got it home I determined it was chambered in .38 short Colt. I found a box online and paid shipping and if I remember correctly it was $46-$48 for a box. The gun fired on all 6 chambers so I have 44 shells left. Larry

Sportsman’s warehouse online price for .380acp American Eagle is $54.99

This is why you should always buy a box of ammo every here and there during times of relative peace/prosperity. I know it's tough with other expenses, especially when you're saving up for your next firearm which will totally be your last for reals this time, but it's best to spend your money on ammo, at least until you have a nice supply to get you through a possible future shortage. You can always spend your money on new guns when an ammo shortage occurs since the prices on ammo will be high, but firearms will generally be more or less the same price as usual, unless it's something really popular.

I could not agree more. I never walk by a good deal, even when I think I “have enough”...

I recently sold 1k rounds of Lake City m855 for $850. I bought it a 2 years ago for $230. I built my house for $130000 back in 81, its worth $600000 now. I sleep like a baby.

 

[raljr1]

I have 265 rds of 40 cal factory ammo and no 40 cal pistol....maybe I could make a buck

 

[TheHobbyist]

@ the OP. That's really something. I, like a lot of people, didn't imagine the pricing, but am prepared.

A good friend of mine told me to never worry as he has more .45 ACP than both of us can ever shoot.

I’d take on that challenge...

I put 350 rounds of 9mm down range yesterday along with 75 rounds .300 Blackout. I kind of cringe when I think of how much that’d cost to replace at today’s retail price, but mine was all reloads with my own cast bullets.

As usual, we'll be staying OFF the election, November, Democrats, racial issues, martial law, etc.
Or, I can lock it.
Your choice.
