Mark Smith is wrong or this is an old article. If you look ammo is everywhere. Sure you have to spend time, be in the right place and time but it is out there. I just bought some 9mm JHP from Midway for .74 / rnd and got free shipping too. I Never buy from the scalpers, let’m eat it. With the exception of some SK match ammo I have only paid pre-pandemic prices for all of my ammo. I am seeing more of everything but 380 and 45 acp, every week, but I reload 380 so no worries there.

"I have only paid pre-pandemic prices for all of my ammo"

Stopped in at a Dunham’s last week just to see what they had & they had always been cheaper on their ammo prices , till the day I stopped.
They was selling 5.56 a month ago for $9.99 a box of 20 & that’s high.
But the day I stopped it the same ammo was now $17.99 for box of 20 , so I ask Wth is up with the price jump.
The answer I got ways its BS from the guy working there but corporate sets the prices.
So screw Dunham’s , they lost a customer.

Vista has a monopoly on the domestic ammo market. If you wanna be mad at someone for the high prices blame Visa, aka Federal, CCI, Speer, and Remmington. They dwarf Winchester.

.74 c a round for 9mm and that's a good deal? I must be missing something....

Paid $21.99 per box of 20 for 6.5 creedmoor today at Bass Pro. Pretty normal pricing on that. Took a 100 rounds. Their 223/556 was around .70cpr which I definitely wasn't paying that, but did probably have 20-30k rounds in stock, so that's a good thing

Picked up 200 rounds of 10 gauge 00 today, it was on sale and came with free shipping.

he said it was JHP

I was in a LGS in Gallipolis Oh yesterday. Well stocked shelves, even pallets on the floor. No limits. Prices still higher than before the madness, but not too bad. The only thing they were short on was 9mm range ammo

 

[Slonsteady]

RK is getting more stock in too.

comment regarding my previous post. Yes, JHP Winchester from Midway for my full size Ruger at 74 cents/ rnd, is decent enough to practice with, and it shoots extremely well. It is sold out as of today.

 

[femurphy77]

We were down in Fort Walton Beach the last few days and drove by a place with a sign out front, "9mm FMJ 50 count, $59.99"

Saw ammo at Orschelns in Richmond for the first time in forever. They had some Armscor .22LR, some 5.56, 7mm Rem mag, and some shotshells. Prices were high but not exorbitant. Dunhams in Richmond also had quite a bit of ammo also. Is ammo starting to appear everywhere or just in Richmond?

 

[Bill2905]

IMI 5.56 was down to 58 cents per round yesterday at Midway USA.

 

[ajeandy]

Would not be surprised if the "gun violence epidemic" will be the next issue at hand since covid is basically dead. If so expect prices to hold steady if not climb back up in the near future.

 

[Born2vette]

Scored some 22LR at Walmart this evening, Federal Automatch 40 gr 352 for $0.055/rnd, CCI mini-mag $0.078/rnd, Winchester 12 ga 2 3/4 #8 target $0.24/rnd (limit 3).
they had some rifle rounds as well, no centerfire pistol ammo though.

 

[Slonsteady]

Yeah great prices on the 22 lr there. I have bought a bunch. You won’t find pistol ammo at most Walmart‘s maybe never again, but you should soon find 9mm at sporting and farm supply stores soon. First it will be at the .60 cpr prices and each month it will drop a nickel. With Rem Federal and Winchester pumping it out like mad, at some point it will get to .28 to .39 cpr by year end. Just slowly stock up as the budget allows, no need to bing, and you will wind up with a good cache in about 12 months. Slonsteady.

SGAmmo still has IMI M855 @ $0.60/rd; they appear to now be out of 55gr

I'll be happy when non-steel core 62gr FMJ gets back down below 50cpr
