Ammo back, Prices up!!!!

 

[Shane Lindsey]

I remember like two years ago when $25 was alot for FGMM.

Ammo should be returning, that's where most of the primers are going.

I remember like two years ago when $25 was alot for FGMM.

2 years ago is was getting it for 179.99 a case. Last one I bought was 300.00 a case.

Ammo may be headed back to the shelf. Hopefully reloading components follow. However, I cannot continue to shoot much longer if the prices do not go back somewhere close to where prices were 18 months ago. I purchased plenty of the Hornady ELD-X 143gr bullets at $39-$42 per box of 100 from just about any of the popular retailers. Six weeks ago, MidwayUSA.com priced theirs at $49/box. I bought their limit of two boxes. Just last week, MidwayUSA.com had jumped to roughly $54/box - $5 per box in less than 7 weeks. My math says that is a 10% increase in just 7 weeks, or annualized to 60% increase. I gave MidwayUSA.com an ear-full. Disappointedly, MidwayUSA.com was the only retailer having the dire-needed bullet. So, I paid the $49 seven weeks ago. But I had to pass on the $54 box - if nothing else, on the basis of principle.

I think you are going to see that once supply is finally meeting demand there will be a price adjustment but sadly not back to where it was initially. Same can be said about the lumber market...we will never see a $3 2x4 again

I will never have a stock of less than 10,000 primers, 1000 hunting bullets per caliber/gun, 8 lbs of powder type/burn rate, 200 new brass per caliber again!

Got some 9mm Winchester White Box @ Academy last weekend for $ 17.99/Box, cheapest I've seen in a year.

I learned when Slick Willy was prez. Obummer reinforced it. I'll never be caught short again. Not since 1998. I hope all will learn.

A few places here that are gouging . Not Murdoch's and Wal Mart. Murdoch's lots of ammo and powder and primers offer. They both limit you . I don't need any but shop a pick up good deal. $16 for 50 9mm etc.

Today I saw 300 PRC ammo for 52 a box and 9mm for 38.99 a box. Prices are all over the place.

Prices will stabilize when shelves FILL UP because the people who panicked and bought up more than they will use in three lifetimes won't be buying much for a while.

Midway has now priced their BR 4 primers at $121/thousand, even though they don't have them.

I got them for $150 on GB (I know, don't feed the gougers, but got a new rifle and I'm not getting any younger).
