I haven’t bought store ammo in years.
A friend asked me to find him some 9mm ammo - so I went and looked at prices...
What the heck - it used to be 20 bucks for a box of 50, most places it’s close to 45 bucks per 50.
Glad I kept my pistol reloading gear... man.

Local box stores are still 18-20 for a box of 50. The strict gun stores have all jacked prices to take advantage though.

Yep. Been a long damn time since I bought ammo.

Winchester 9mm 100 round fun boxes were $20 not so long ago...

Never had much use for pistol shooting....any distance I could justify using a handgun and I don't figure I need practice or sights for that matter.

Last ammo I bought was the last weekend in January. Got a flat of 12 ga. Fiocchi target loads through my gun club for 63 bucks including tax. They bought a truckload so they got a good deal. Other than that the last ammo I bought was back in 2016 when I picked up a Ruger Single Six convertible and needed some 22 Mag. ammo. Stocked up back then and I'm glad I did. Local place I frequent hasn't had barely anything for months now.

When did they take the lead out of gas?! And who actually pays money for water in a plastic bottle?

Don't buy ammo, load my own.
The only ammo I have seen in a store in months was a Dunhams
a week ago.
Winchester white box 7.62x51 135gr Sierra jhp
5 or 6 boxes $44/box.
I'm guessing most costumers didn't know what cartridge it was,
Or, had no use for a 135gr hollowpoint.

One of the local stores had several cases of blazer brass 9mm for $30/50 which is $10 cheaper than it was a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it’ll level out soon but doubtful.

I stopped in an Academy Sports today for cotton cleaning patches - no ammo, only a few girl's .22 rifles, 5 pistols. Reloading section had one set of .270 dies and an RCBS case trimmer and a powder dispenser.

I know alot of you guys dont have retail stores like academy or rural king around or 2 or 3 lgs shops who aint azz raping places. You all need to remember what these people are doing when things get better. These mee maw and pee paw are getting dealer discounts from wholesalers ( not retail price) Dont beleive their bullschitt they tell you it cost them 27 bucks or 32 bucks a box and that is why they are selling it for 40 to 50 abox Lgs,s around here get 7% wholesale discount from midsouth here in town. You all need to remember this places when things get better and never buy from again. They are fugging sticking it to you and smiling in your face telling you bulkschitt. Lots of these LGS,s are also selling on gunbroker on alias accounts to disassociate their buisinees from having a local stigma and telling their customer base they dont get shipments in. 9mm is trade bait for me . I dgaf what scapler Lgs,s ( not all) sell it to fools for around here. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/yxJ3D1c1/20210324-195256.jpg) https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...nt-to-buy-a-pressure-canner#Post15940485
