This particular scare I think will take a couple of years to get close to normal pricing. Kind of like the 2012 election... And that might be a best case scenario without any executive orders scaring things right back up to where it is now. So just a few thoughts and observations so I'm not completely derailing -I'm am actually getting regular emails from places like Palmetto, Atlantic Arms and GrabaGun (.89 CPR for all bulk 115gr 9mm in stock $44.95 for a 50rd box of 9 )... but sheesh those prices. I'm stocked well to weather the storm, but I like to replace what I shoot. That's part of how I was able to sustain bi-weekly range and occasional training. -I actually just backordered a 1000 case of x39 Wolf Steel back in October for .23 CPR and I thought that was high lol .. well, Sportsmans Guide delivered back in December to my amazement. Sportsmans guide at least didn't get stupid with their pricing until after the election. And it wasn't too stupid, but its getting close now. And now they're not even taking back orders. I would assume that is all driven by the manufacturers. -What is pissing me off right now, is Winchester. They are cancelling some of my back orders due to "No longer Manufactured", changing the FKING SKU to a different number, and then re-marketing backorders for the EXACT same ammo for 3-4x the price!

Are the ammo producers overseas not selling to the US right now? How about russian manufacturers? There's no way it's this price everywhere.
Any importers here with inside knowledge on that? |

Have a decent cache but I reckon I'll start working on butt-stroking proficiencies before I contribute to those inflated prices. Seems like not all that long ago rounds pushing 40 cents per were insanely high.

View Quote @TSU45 yep, not surprised! ammo manufacturers are pumping out all the 9mm they can so the "off" calibers become harder to find. the only filter I have on the 300blk pricing is brass case, so it's any bullet type and includes both sub and supersonic rounds. That said, just about everything brass-cased in stock seems to be FMJ, 123-150 grain bullets. |

Pine Valley is taking backorders for their 50-round boxes of 77 gr SMK. The price has gone up from $50 to $55 per box, but that's still pretty decent in the current market. Use code "buffman" for 5% off (thanks, Buffman!). The catch is that they charge up front when you place the backorder, but their website (and the backorder announcement they sent out a couple weeks ago) says that their next batch of these rounds should be ready the week of February 15:

I bought on Monday from gunbroker after many weeks of watching 300 rounds of IMI M855 for $169 including shipping (56 cents per round). Come on people, if there is no demand the prices will go down. If we start saying “No, thank you” to these huge prices we will see prices decreasing.
