Still in stock. I guess with exponential increase in gun, ammo, magazine, body armor, optic, and night vision purchases made over the past few months, there are millions of maxed-out credit cards right now.

I agree OP. In fact, the naysayers here who don't believe that should put their money on it if they believe it's not at peak, as they could buy it at that price and resell it later. Since that ammo isn't moving, that means that even those who would buy to resell it aren't confident that they could make money on it.
I also think that we're seeing ammo sales calm down, which means that people are unwilling to pay the current exorbitant prices which will allow manufacture to catch up and we will gradually see it on store shelves again, which will further calm down people. Eventually, prices will drop. |

Dunham's sports, Academy sports, and the LGS would say otherwise.
I looked last night, just to see how bad it had gotten and ammo shelves and gun cases were absolutely stripped of anything you'd want. A few boxes of uncommon rifle ammo and off brand handguns were about the only things left. |

If it flies off the shelves at 25cpr and doesn't sell at $1/round then the actual market price is somewhere in between. |

I mean, I guess if you consider your time is free, then you're still getting potentially "match-ish" quality ammo at 64-ish cents/rd which beats out current retail pricing. But yeah I'm with you, no way in hell I'm paying anything like 45 cents/primer. That why I believe that auction was shilled up. Same seller had another 5k case that ran up crazy high like that too. Nah. |

I thought the other way at first also, because the way he was wording it made you think that. I think he said it like that on purpose. But if you actually listen specifically, it’s more ammo this year than “any other year”. Not all years combined, that would be some feat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: we’re not even to the point of a gun control bill being introduced in the house This is where I think we’re at. We won’t see the peak prices until a couple gun control bills are defeated. Look how long it took .22LR to return to normal prices and availability after Sandy Hook. I’d like to think we’ve seen the worse, but I don’t think we have. More people today think a civil war is extremely likely compared to the times of ammo panics before. This is an entirely different animal. |

Quote HistoryI tend to agree. We'll have to hit a point eventually where all the new panickers have filled up their forts, and people will be buying to shoot again. Not many people can afford to shoot much at $1/rd, thus prices will finally fall. Problem is the recalled fear is going to take years to wear off. Even assuming all the stores shelves filled up every night and ammo was marked at pre-panic pricing, how long before we quit buying a box or two every single visit "cuz 'member back in '20 and '21?" Multiple years, even without our fucked up federal government deliberately stoking the panic flames. |

The taxes are coming my friends. I was in Walmart the other day. Everything picked clean except for a dozen of the 100 pack winchester 12 ga #7.5 clay shooting shells for $22. I’m thinking of buying them to teach my 8 year old how to shoot. I have a feeling you won’t find these anywhere starting spring when people get outside to start clay shooting.

No one can say to what extent, but I'm confident it gets worse before it gets better.
If prices stay elevated long enough, people will come to view it as 'normal'. I don't think you'll see .30/rd 5.56 and .15/rd 9mm for at least 3 or 4 years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you're that confident, then sell all ammo and reloading components purchased during the salad days that you won't need for the next 3 years. The House is sure to flip during the 2022 election and ensure no new gun legislation for at least 2 more years. Use the profits to stack even deeper in 2023 and 2024. I've thought of doing that myself, but I'm not that confident. Its not confidence; the votes are not there. Biden's margins are 10 and 1. He needs 60 in the senate, and 51 to overturn a filibuster. |

Midway had over 700 boxes yesterday about 1500 CST according to their sales team. It first went on sale yesterday morning.
So, they probably sold over 1000 boxes if not 2000 boxes of 1200 rounds. That's a lot of ammo. Hope I'm not kicking myself for not buying later... |
