Hurry up and get your .45 ammo...

[64Post]

Apparently vendors are having to bid on ammo now... This was in my inbox...

Is anyone really stupid enough to pay $600/1000 for FMJ? Scottsdale just sold out of Magtec this morning; it was $349/1000.


We will start shipping this 45 ACP ammo from Federal on 4-22
Very limited quantity.

Anyone wonder why we have 45 and nobody else does?
We were the high bidder. That's right...the high bidder.

Certain calibers are still in very short supply and will stay this way for many more months until the factory can catch up.

NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS

FEDERAL AMERICAN EAGLE .45 ACP
230 GRAIN - BOXER PRIMED BRASS
FMJ = FULL METAL JACKET

Manufactured under Federal's American Eagle brand, this product is brand new, brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. It is a staple range and target practice ammunition.

This is top of the line, American-made range ammo made by ATK (same company that makes Speer Lawman, CCI, Blazer Brass, etc) - it doesn't get any better.

Maybe I am going a little too far back but is that not a tad high? I thought the UMC 250 packs were only about $80-90 for 250.

I remember when a 50rd box of American Eagle .45ACP cost $10. 500 rds was like $95.
And this was only like 2 or 3 years ago! I'm glad I stocked up back then. I'm not shooting as much as I used to, I'm going to try to make it last a few more years.

A 'tad' is putting it nicely... Something, or someone is high and I don't think it's you.

Well, I'm dumbfounded to say the least. People actually paid $600/case for FMJ ammo.

Another online vendor has the same ammo for $409/case and PMC for $370/case. I'm nearly speechless...

They can keep it at those prices.

They're selling themselves short. If nobody can afford to shoot, nobody will get into the hobby, sport or whatever it is you wish to call it. Years from now there will be 1/4 of the active shooters we have today.

Then the tables will turn; ammo will get dirt cheap, but there won't be many people left to buy it.

I LOVE shooting our .45's but, I can stick with smaller calibers at those prices. With a small 9mm I still get some recoil and the .45 can just stay in the nightstand for now.

Plus, I'm not buying the story.

Nope, you're right, and not too far back either. I paid $84 plus tax for Rem UMC 250 pack FMJ at Wal-mart last weekend.

Good thing I got the .40 instead of .45

Seems like other ammo prices are leveling out or coming down some. Availability for 5.56 and pricing has become better in the last 3 months.

There were 3 of these packs for $84 at the Cockeysville Walmart tonight. I am pretty stocked up on 45 so I passed, but in case any MD Shooters are interested..
