Is it just me or is ammo going up in price?

[glockguy]

I went to Wally world tonight an wondered over to the sporting goods section and Saw that .40 ammo that used to be 12.87 a a few months back is now up in the $16 range! What is up with that? They used to be cheaper then Bimart. has anyone else noticed this?

I dont go to China Mart, but I have noticed that ammo prices are actually going down a bit. That is a GOOD thing!

I've been noticing them going down! And actually showing up in stock at Bimart and other places. Very good thing.

I agree....Walmart WWB 9mm has gone up a buck or 2 in the last 2-3 months

If you buy at Mall-Wart you might as well be sending the Chinese Army a monthly check IMHO.

I've bought the Federal red box stuff for most of 2009 for $13.97 a box, about 2 weeks ago was the last time. The other brands are more for some reason, even tho its comparable IMO

Because so much of the american made ammo and FET goes to the chinese?

Federal sent us a price increase for the first of the year. Around 3-5%.

I would expect this is more due to the devaluation of the dollar and the increase in metal prices worldwide than anything else.

Anytime I go the walmart in woodburn there isn't any ammo besides some oddball rifle ammo and shotgun shells. I personally prefer to shop at bi-mart just because the selection is much better.

is it just me or every where i go to find ammo and find where the shelves are nearly bare there is always a bunch of .270 even K mart had .270 nothing else bi mart although other ammo could be found but .308 30.06 just about everything else but lots of .270

WWB 9mm 100 rds was 10.80 or so last year... I just saw it was 19.99.. what a rip off.

Where was it being sold for $108 per 1000 last year? Are you sure you aren't confusing it with the 50rd price?

So do you say this while driving a Toyota (Subaru, Honda, Kia, etc) to Bi-Mart?

Sending money to Japanese companies is a lot better than sending money to Chinese companies. That being said, I support whoever makes the best product at the best prices.

I have been getting Federal 9mm at $9.47/50 rd for a while at Walmart near
Seattle. Stock comes and goes of course but lately mostly coming.

Because Japan is #2 on the US trade deficit list or because our trade deficit with Japan is older?

Japan imports 160% as much as we do from China. Either way they get a good chunk of your dollar. Both of them are the top two owners of our debt.

This should cheer you up - you poor guys in the USA feeling ripped off at ammo prices.....

RPA Match Grade .50 ammunition - £8.00 per each.

£800.00 per C = $13.60 per shot.

One of the reasons why I don't have a .50 cal anything here in yUK.

Agreed, ammo prices have 'finally' started to drop a little bit.
