Every store around here (DFW area), Walmart, Cabela's. Academy, Bass Pro, and even Dick's is swimming in ammo. Its only a matter of time before prices drop. Now to what level the pricing goes remains to be seen.

MSC182, I'm much glad at least you have good inventory but over here in Cali I've not seen much of an improvement except for the prices have come down a bit over time. I don't believe it's due to an over stock of ammo though. I know it's really a stretch but I remember in use to fet PMC Military for about 3.50/box of 20. Heck for that price even I can afford that on my meger budget. All I really see is Russian ammo imported and even that's pretty pricey for a catron of 1000 rounds!!! Impala |

Ammo's definitely been coming down in cost. I'm kinda hoping I can get more 5.56/.223 for 25 cents per round shipped again, but I'm not holding my breath on it being a reliable/common occurrence.

You should be paying no more than $309/1k shipped for brass .223 at this point. Go on slickguns.com and you'll see the deals.

Luckygunner.com had tula .223 for .25ish/rnd delivered as of this morning. $225/1k plus shipping, which was $27 to my location. |

Around the Memphis area, the market is flooded with everything, except 22lr and 9mm. 9mm shows up often tho. Prices for shotshells have started to fall. Walmart dropped $6 off the 100 shell box of #7 12ga. It is now under $20. I am seeing <$7 for a 20 round box of Fed XM193 at Academy and $8 for a 20 round box of AE223 55fmj.
With the prices on the interweb dropping well below walmart, we will see walmart start to drop prices more in the coming months. I have noticed a 3-6 month lag in walmart prices vs market prices. I think they might catch up sooner because market prices are falling faster than normal. |

Once upon a time I use to be able to buy every two weeks about 4-5 boxes/20 rounds and save it up and have fun at the shooting range when my buds and I were able to plan a get together. Since we entered the wars everything just went sour for me. Because of the prices I've been able to shoot a little more but still must spare my ammo to a minimum (60 rounds) on an outing. Let's hope the price will come down more and all the rumors gpoing around that Obama's governemt isn't buying up the ammo to keep the prices up and out of the pocket of the average american. Impala |

$7 per box of .223/5.56 is my new cutoff. I don't need it though.

Availability is steadily increasing for all calibers especially 22lr. With that the prices are also steadily dropping across the board. Check out AmmoSpy's Trending Page: http://www.ammospy.net/trending

The only place I've found any .22 LR was at Bass Pro in Mobile, AL last week, and it was only two fifty-round boxes of CCI Standard Velocity. I was glad that's what it was because it's my favorite .22 ammo. |

Don't expect it. $6/box will probably be the bottom. Maybe we'll see $5.50, but I doubt it. Below $6/box and I'll be stocking up. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My meger budget would allow me to buy a few boxes at a time and I would allow it to pile up. When I coordinate with my buddies we'd head to the range together and have a great time at the range. Like I said earlier the price is down about half of what it use to be but still can go farther down than before. Impala |

It had been that way for a few years. Around here at least. The market is very soft right now, well it was before the Russian BS. If the Russian political issues don't cause an import ban on ammo, then the market might be soft enough to get sub $5. During the ammo shortage everyone bought up everything and are hoarding it. That plus a soft market, could cause a drop in prices. I can dream. |

It doesn't look good for the Russians right now.....Prepare for more sanctions against them. I don't want to get into politics cuz I just want some good non-corrosive ammo to shoot at the range that'll fit my budget. The average price for a box of 20 is about $9. To me that's better than before but still too high for the average shooter like me. Heck I'd even go for PMC Bronze as it appears to function pretty good. Impala |
