Where to Get Reasonably Priced Ammo??

[m1a_scoutguy]

Buddy Messaged me tonight (Thursday) and Bass Pro in Utica had 556 Winchester for $10 bucks a box of 20. Said they had 9mm @ $60 bucks for 100rds ! Said they had a good amount. Not sure what that meant but maybe worth a drive for you closer guys that need some. He bought 2 boxes at a time and said he went through the line multiple times,,LOL Also on a weird note, my Cousin lives in Atlanta GA & he went to Bass Pro today also and he said they had a pallet of 556 Green Tip,,he bought 100rds @ $10.99 a box ! Maybe Thursday is Bass Pro Ammo day around the country !

Went to a local bait/tackle shop that has ammo yesterday evening. Owner is a customer of mine so I wanted to pay him a visit and spend a little money.

50rd 9mm FMJ: $50/box
50rd 9mm JHP: $75/box
20rd 5.56: $29.99/box
50rd .380: $68/box

I felt bad but I told him there was no way on God's green earth I was paying $1/round for something I paid $0.13/round for a year ago. Literally nothing in the free marketplace has gone up that much in value even though demand is similar.

I understand the laws of supply/demand but only an artifical shortage can drive prices up 10X. There is more going on here than we realize.

I have higher end airsoft replicas, an ar and a glock 19. Ive been doing a good bit of practice with those lately. Ill save my ammo for classes or necessity. They are cheap to shoot and the manual of arms is the same as their real counterparts.

Not that you can never have enough ammo, but I was thankful I bought when I did (years ago). Although once prices get back to a reasonable range I will invest more money and stock up. There's no way in hell I would be paying these inflated prices.

One can spend thousands in equipment but all one really needs might fit in a shoebox.
And of course plenty of consumables otherwise w/o fuel and pills the rest is all useless.
I am looking out for the upcoming threads like "home made blackpowder done right" , "0% Home Depot Lower" , "how to reload your primers".... And such.

I'm hearing that primers are all but impossible to find

That is a fact. SP and SR primers are like hens teeth. I was lucky enough to make a trade with a member here for some SP. I usually have at least 10,000 but I'm at half of that now.

You’ll need a DeLorean and a Mr Fusion

I picked up 4 of these after work...a Remington sport master might get 21 in the tube...mine is crazy accurate. $7.80 per hundred

Any one looking for 30-30 or 06 once fired brass? I thought that I had signed up for secret Santa... I work way too many hours

Plenty of primers out there if you’re ready to pay $75. I have never drove by a garage sale... I picked up a pound of benchmark, 200 varmegeddon projectiles and a brick of Remington 7 1/2s for $100. Benchmark is excellent in a bolt gun.

I posted this on the primer thread but the video I posted above shouldn't look so silly after looking at these prices.
