Range ammo prices are insane...

That’s ridiculous prices even for now.

Natchezss has cheap bulk ammo.

I paid $100 for two boxes of 357. Threw up a little. First time I saw it on the shelf since all this bs started.

Academy has been having 38spl tho

I was buying it for 30 a box even during the shortage

357 ammo

It was at Academy. Stop in every few days just to check. One day it was there. Another local gun shop had some good federal 158 grain ammo but it was over $65. Draw the line somewhere between there and $50

The shooting range will always double the price of ammo. They have ammo there to make money and to give you the convenience factor. Just like you pay more for milk at Walgreens instead of going to Walmart.

Plus, keep in mind that a lot of ranges bought ammo during the panic. When they had no ammo to sell, very few shooters showed up (at least it was like that at Precision).

So they are trying to sell it at prices based on sky-high purchase cost. Can't blame them - but people customers have the option of just ordering online.

Because I just bought the gun. I wasn't sure I would get the gun. Last time at Academy I caught a delay.

Was it you was waiting on a Canik? If not the Canik what’d you get? How’d you like it?

I have no need for another gun but it’s been two months since I bought one and I’m getting the itch again.

First, you cannot compare the two businesses. Academy & a gun range are very different. Second, people who buy ammo at a range usually do so because of convenience or bad planning or maybe renting a gun with a caliber they don’t own. For all those reasons, they can support selling for a higher price. Third, ammo is still not in plentiful supply so the higher price prevents people from wiping them out & not having ammo for the shooter at the range.

There are plenty of examples of this dynamic in life. A convenience store sells all its food much higher than a Walmart for example. You’re paying for the convenience. If you want bulk pricing, you know where to go
