Bi Mart Ammo - whats up?

[flashpan]

I go to BiMart about once a week for a variety of things. Last two trips I have seen 223/22/17 HMR/ shotgun and other ammo for sale. I don't buy ... just observe. So are the hoarders asleep now or maybe just had their fill now?

Lots more ammo available at Sportsmans lately too.

22lr has been widely available 223 currently 2-3× normal prices. I think most BiMart shoppers into guns have acquired reasonable amounts of ammo. If 223/556 was $7-8 I would still buy. At $12, I'll live off what I have.

Hoarding/scalping is now meeting those that have what they want and supply returning. Same as before......

At $0.10-$0.15 a round for 22lr, even the most hardcore hoarders are backing off.

Prices to some extent aid in controlling demand. Those that really/need want it now, are the ones still buying.

The rest will wait till the demand dies off even further and the supply starts coming back, forcing retailers to lower the prices again.

Maybe….

Exactly. They are no doubt creating ways to increase the prices to effect a certain amount of 'control' .

I remember .22 still under $10 in '06, '07. Enter Obama and it shortly went to around $12-14 and after Sandy Hook and supplies returned it was $20 + a brick after that.

I am a proud hoarder, though I do need more to keep up appearances the prices are still too hoarder high., Low on 9 MM, okay on 40 and 45, passable on 380, okay on 22LR, could use more 22 Magnum

Seriously need 9 MM to come down (I don't stoop to 115 grain.)

2 box limit at the O.C. Bi-Mart

Since there are more dollars in circulation now, I don't think that ammo will ever drop back down to the Trump Era prices.

I would like to see some heavier. 223 for less then $1 per round, or at least on the shelves. All I am finding is 55 grain. I need more 64 grain soft point.

I don't stoop to buying factory loads. Or buying pistol bullets.

I have hoarded what I know I may use in the next decade. If I have it and need something else I can't get, I've found by using this NWFA web site, I can trade for what I need.

There are so many on this web site with similar, but varied, interests and it's great to meet others during the trade and share experiences. That's the greatest part of this web site!

I typically have to rely on what people here report with regard to ammo prices considering the last box of factory ammo I bought (non - .22) was in about 2011 !

Bi Mart has the fire roasted stewed tomatoes with chipotles and is great for making stuffed cabbage .

An alternative type of ammunition!

Prices are still too high to justify buying ammo....especially for those of us who reload and have plenty of supplies.

In the long run it will still be more valuable than the USD.

I saw a bunch of 223 ammo at bimart a week or two ago but it was $12 per 20ct box. Hoarders stack it deep when it's cheap but $12 ain't cheap

 

[TTSX]

Meh. I buy a box or two to function test when I make changes. Both steel and brass. Ends up being about $20 to make sure it's running right and doesn't dip into my supply. I'm still more annoyed about gas prices

I have some 9mm if you have some 223/556 your willing to part with, shoot me a PM

"Brown powder" if you will.
