I made an ammo run this afternoon to Outdoor Marksman and also picked up ammo for my dad and a family friend... between three of us we spent $464.50 on 2500 rounds of ammunition.. 1000 9mm for me, 1000 .45 for dad, and 500 9mm for a friend. Sure is getting expensive.. $149.80 for the 9mm and $239.80 for the .45  Obligatory gun picture   In comparison.. Bi-Mart has been running Remington .45 on sale for $12.99 a box(259.80 per K) and 9mm for $7.99 a box(169.80 per K).. and Remington is definitely a step well below WWB or Federal AE. Reg on the .45 is 15.79 and on the 9 is 9.79, and that just barely covers cost

No worries there  Thinking about getting a Square Deal B since I shoot a lot of pistol.. dunno yet. |
Ummm what warehouse is this? When I was in Tri-Cities last weekend all they had was wolf.....

This was at Silverdale in Kitsap County, but there have been many reports of Q3131 showing up all over the place. |

I thankfully I built a huge stash when it was cheap but I am also cutting back until the prices drop. I used to p/u two or three cases at every show but at today's prices it would cost as much or more than the rifle that I am shooting it out of. I think its ridiculous

IMO, the .mil brass will get sucked up and recirculated via reloaders before retail customers will pay $1 /round. I just don't see the market supporting that price in any quantity. People will buy high end match ammo and shoot it conservativelly, but they aren't gonna pay a buck for plinking ammo. If anything, watch out for an explosion of remanufactured ammo from questionable sources. |
I don't think it's the market that will get us to those prices. It'll be the politics. |
