Ammo shortage over???? Tons of ammo on sale!!!

[Keane]

ya, same here. I've bought a little bit of ammo here and there when I get the chance, but refuse to pay their prices. I pick up just enough to get me through a range trip or two, but thats it.

I really hope the prospectors and profiteers get screwed on this one, I hope they all lose their shirts and really regret it all...

I really just got involved with handguns in the last couple months and was lucky enough to get my fair share of the ammo i need

Ya, i know it, right?? I'm pretty down on thread-crapping, but that guy deserves it like no other. What the heck does he think hes doing trying to sell it at that price?

Edit; Ur**** is is a bad word? Whoah. First Pluto loses it's planetary status, and Ur**** becomes a curse. tsk

No handgun ammo today at Wal-Mart in Coos Bay, Salesman said they are restricting purchases so one person doesn't buy up all they have when they get it, but they are still having a hard time getting ammo down here.

I went into the Bi Mart in Sandy today and they actually had some large pistol primers in! The gal behind the counter said that she thought the ammo craze was coming to an end pretty soon(although she said the primers and re-loading stuff would still be back ordered for awhile, but its getting better.).

I was actually able to pick up my 4 box limit on .223, which I havent seen at that store for a couple months now. Definately still need .45acp and .40S&W, but hopefully all will be somewhat back to normal soon.

Bi-mart in OC had 5 boxes of 45 ACP and a box of 223 today....first time in months i have found any there!

I noticed that local Bi-Marts are starting to have ammo again. I dont' know if it is because demand has descreased, supply has begun to catch up with the demand, or the 4 box per caliber limit is helping to let everybody get at least a little ammo. I was at the gun show today and saw the same 5.56 XM193 for $12/box that I bought yesterday at Bi-Mart fot $7.99. Sure, I could only buy 4 boxes at a time, but at least I didn't get ripped off for. it. The point is, they have it, and not just on the day they get their shipments. I also couldn't believe the gun show prices for boxes of Remington .40SW for $25 or the 250 rd. Mega-packs of .38spl for $100. In other words, ammo is getting easier to find, so you don't have to pay these ridiculously over-inflated prices to get it if you are patient. Unfortunately, many of the vendors at the show have not yet got the memo.

i sold 2 boxes of 22 LR on here. one box of thunderbolt w/ 600 rounds for 20 dollars and another box of 525 hollow points for 25 and i dont feel bad about it. i needed money to pay for over priced ammo myself.

By the way, thanks for the ammo!!!!

 

[Loaded1985]

no problem, i went to bi mart today as well. no ammo left for me, but i have seen 223 at almost every store i have gone to, be it bright water, bi mart or c & c gun sales.

i also saw that c & c has had 4 boxes of 40 cal sitting on their shelf for more then a week now can u believe that

I have a friend that works at surplus. He gets a discount. I still was finding ammo cheaper. I will have to check back with him. The amount of ammo they push is insane.

 

[coctailer]

Maybe people have given up? I continue to worry about the long-term effect these prices will have on the shooting public. There are lots of other cheaper hobbies/activities around...



Surplus Ammo had a bit-o-the-profiteering at the Monroe WAC show last time. $20 was their lowest price for 9mm, .38spl, etc.

That $20 box of ammo probably cost them $18.

The wholesale price is the problem unless you are Bi-Mart or Wal-Mart which I assume are under contract sealing the price for a period of time.


I stopped selling ammo all-together since the wholesale price was more than Wal-Marts retail price.

Did you guys see the people selling primers for $95 - $105 per 1k.

 

[Wenis]

I feel like people went crazy loading up their credit cards on ammo purchases, and now they are facing their monthly statements. Add in low employment rates, and some panic purchases, I think they're just running out of money. Those who bought to resell are getting stuck with large supplies, deservedly so.

Let's see....... high prices, know-it-all attitudes..... yes, I don't have a hard time imagining that.
