I think we are rounding the corner on ammo shortage

The key is, we must stop buying once the shortage starts to end. Must drive the price back down or it will remain high. Doubt it happens though

No doubt.

People are fricking insane right now.

These are the same type of people that were buying toilet paper every day.
I showed up at Costco early, started talking to the guy in front of me. He said he’s there every morning when they open to buy toilet paper. It is an addiction with some people.

I’ve only ever known expensive ammo I’m afraid I’ll go off the deep end when things are “normal”. Before all this what was a competitive price on FMJ 5.56, 300 BO and 9mm?

ETA: I said this in another thread but I did go to academy in the middle of the day and they had plenty of 223 from their shipment that morning. I guess we need some of this sustained and the people who have raised prices will let them fall back down.

100% true. There's being prepared and there's addiction. You don't need 50,000 rounds of ammo.

My brother and I would scope Academy during the last ammo shortage and the same 3 or 4 70 year old men would be sitting in the parking lot every Tuesday waiting for it to open and each buy their max in .22 bricks, they did this for months.

You're missing the point Cletus.

I bout 2 - 200 round boxes of 9mm for $150 from Academy so I felt good about that.

I got one box of 200 rounds of 9mm for $50 at Academy about 3 weeks ago. They only sold me a box because I bought a gun... they were holding some ammo for gun purchasers.

Roughly a quarter a round, about 30-40 cents a round, and 17-18 cents a round, respectively, for FMJ. Self defense and hunting rounds were, obviously, more expensive, but you don't burn through 200 JHP in a range session, so that doesn't really matter.
