Where to Get Reasonably Priced Ammo??

[maverick52]

This ammo shortage really sucks. Can’t believe 9 months ago I paid $180 for a case of 9mm and $300 for a case of .223. Now 600 for case of either one. $30 a box for 9mm. ?
If anyone can tell me where do buy some ammo at a decent price please let me know. I would really appreciate it. PM me if you want.

On occasion you can find it at some of the local box stores. One to two boxes at a time typically. Other thing to try is to get notified when some online retailers are back in stock. Problem with that is they sell that out post haste as well.

9mm, .223/5.56 might as well be unicorn farts today. They're both available in the same quantities. Even the few places that will still ship to NY are bone dry. This exact scenario is what pushed me to start reloading in 2013 after the passage of unSAFE.

the best place to get cheap ammo was 18 months ago

Haha I just got a email from Freedom Munitions. 9mm remanufactured straight from the source only .68¢ a round. 1 year ago .16¢ a round.
now there is a big WTF

I was going to say the 1990s but that would have been snarky.

The question should be ..When will we get relief from high ammo prices and the ability to buy in a desirable quantity

The 12th of Never or the 32 of Juvember.

 

[Bustedknees]

If you really want to feel bad I can go through my ammo collection and post price tag pictures from Ames, Kmart, and possibly Big N dept stores.

 

[fnfalguy]

never good to go through those past receipts. Found one for some Hirtenberger .308 in battle packs. Paid $135 for 5 200-rd battle packs in the wooden crate.

 

[meketrefe]

Absolutely everyone is jacking up the prices.
One friendly reminder that the whole preparedness concept only realy works when done way in advance.

If biden actually wins this bullshit, Im guessing next to never. If Trump remains President, early May or June. I would suggest the next time prices are 'reasonable' buy all you can, because eventually the liberals are going to take over. And when they do, 2020 will seem like a vacation

@Jmac00

That is affirmative!

When prices, if they ever come back to reality, do... Load up! Even casings, primers and powder for those who do their own! Rent a storage unit if you have too, lolz! But DO IT!

I like to bump this old thread: This is your ant and grasshopper reminder

While it may have been difficult to foresee Covid coming, it was not difficult to see the days of cheap ammo could go in a flash. This is about the 6th cycle I can remember: 1994 AWB buying frenzy; 1999 Y2K insanity; 2008 and 2012 Obama election; Sandy Hook/SAFE Act . . .

 

[maverick52]

Wow. I have a couple of cases left, but damn! Reloading may be the way to go

The laws of economics at work.

You can have cheap or you can have in stock, but you can't have both for long.

Bitching about it will do as much good as bitching about gravity because you fell down the stairs.

I got worried having invested so much in reloading, yet the bulk factory stuff was cheap,. Then I remembered why I did this weekend. No 10MM in stores. I cranked out a batch.

One can spend thousands in equipment but all one really needs might fit in a shoebox.
And of course plenty of consumables otherwise w/o fuel and pills the rest is all useless.
I am looking out for the upcoming threads like "home made blackpowder done right" , "0% Home Depot Lower" , "how to reload your primers".... And such.

I'm hearing that primers are all but impossible to find

 

[Vapor]

I would suggest investing in a good pellet rifle and pellet pistol.

I'm talking at least spend the same amount as you would on a .22. $250+.

I don't have a pistol yet, but I just bought a Wather Parrus for the rifle.

By Unimax? Nice looking for sure. Get the brown wood .22 version? I see it for $199 right now.
