Ammo I saw ammo

[Walking Bear]

Had to pick up some lantern mantles and went to Bass Pro in Jeffersonville and they had ammo for sale. 9MM, 22, and shotgun shells. Other calibers but mostly odd ball stuff. Guess things are looking up.

Might want to post it up here:

Cabela's in Dayton Ohio had Herter's 9mm 124 gr FMJ for 17.00 a box last week

My local Walmart had 24 boxes of Federal bulk 22 in stock the other day for $20/box. Its looking better every day

It must be on the shelves before the price starts to shrink.

Slowly the worm turns.

Hearing about primers too. Still too expensive but their lasting almost an hour online now.

Ammo....you 'saw' ammo...wow!
Wrigley's in Fort Wayne has managed to keep a few boxes on the shelves through most of this plandemic...
These past few months, they're back stocked most of the time!
.22lr is probably their weak point, but they regularly have .380, 9mm, .40, .45, .38, .357 mag & SIG, etc. + lots of rifle and shotgun rounds!

Had a bunch of cci and federal small rifle and pistol primers in stock at my Cabelas this past weekend. $69.99 per brick for the CCIs and $74.99 per brick for the Federals. The Federals were the Gold medal match ones

I don't know why Indy doesn't have a Cabela's. I refuse to go to Fishers unless it's a matter of life and death.

Even though I still flinch at $17, it is not out of line these days.

That reminds me of an experience in a gunstore about 1975. A man wanted a box of .45acp. "gimme the good ones" he said. The clerk put a box of Winchester SuperX on the counter and said $8.95 plus tax. The man came unglued, NINE DOLLARS! NINE DOLLARS!, for a box of .45,?!? That is crazy! and more "colorful" language.

I'll bet we would all stand in line to buy boxes of .45 SuperX for $9.00 at this point in time.

I thought they were going to build one in Greenwood a few years ago? I do not know what happened?

Well then you can still go to Cabela's because it's not in Fishers. It's in Noblesville.

 

[johntheplinker]

Yeah, and I just saw a unicorn pooping Skittles.

But seriously. I've started to see some on the shelves of a few places lately. Rural King in Jasper actually had quite a bit of .223, 9mm, and .22lr last time I was in there, and prices were reasonable. Local shop was getting in a decent variety but not really large quantities, especially hunting ammo.

 

[Flingarrows]

I stopped at point blank last week. They had a crap ton of the popular ammo calibers on the shelf, but very proud of it by the price…

They were, but that deal fell through.

Touche'!

If people really cared about the price of ammo, they would stock pile deep when it was cheap. But they do not, because they do not care.

The suoer cheap days were going away even before the pandemic. In 2020 the costs were scheduled to go up 10 to 15% (per the ammo companies). Even without a pandemic. This was due to the comapies ate the costs of materials rising but kept prices consistent.

So when all this clears we will probably have 14 dollar a box FMJ 9mm as the new norm.

Will be interesting either way

 

[STEEL CORE]

I had someone text me a picture of 9mm 124 gr FMJ in fifty round boxes on the shelf of the Avon Rural King at $21.99 ea, limit of six boxes, but it was all gone the next day when I got there.
So maybe it is coming back, and I hope coming down.
