Rising Ammo Prices

[GolfR]

I looked into a few online ammo sites this morning and it looks like there may be a run on ammo going on. Looks like prices have gone up and many are out of stock. Hopefully this is short lived! .223 looks particularly bad right now.

Duration will depend on the outcome of today's events.

Run on magazines too. No price spikes but I noticed a lot of places OOS on AK and AR magazines

Sportsman's guide still has a good deal on Wolf Gold and subsonic 9mm. Free shipping too.

I also see more good deals on .22 than I've seen in months.

Yes, don't see any ammo shortages or price hikes from my viewpoint. In fact, lots of sales.

I can still see 223 steel going for 25 cents around. Thank goodness I reload. I can make it for 24 cents, so I'm saving some serious money! (sarcasm)

Powder Valley got some primers in yesterday and their price went from $27 per 1K to $28 --- jumped over to Cabelas to compare prices and their primers went from $35 per 1K down to $33.
Cabelas powder variety dropped significantly in the last week as a side note.

I ordered some S&B primers from Cabelas last night, they're still $25 per thousand. Cabelas is still out of Federal and Winchester SPPs.

We survived the last shortage and we'll get through this one as well.
The last shortage got me started with cap and ball, which turned out to be very enjoyable.

Yup, it looks like PMC Bronze 9mm Luger Ammo 115 Grain Full Metal Jacket is up by 3¢ per round from last week. I expect other calibers are up as well. It's going to be a while before I need to buy any more. I hope the results of today's election are favorable to the prices going back down.

 

[Ngrovcam]

Wait until the election results are announced...this time tomorrow, stuff
will be in short supply. I fear it will go
downhill from there.

 

[c4snipar]

Not really

Why would anyone hoard ammo? HRC's not banning ammo. Prices and availability on SGammo looks fine to me.

Anyways, whatever... I have a reloading setup now, my maximum legal allocation of powder, and some insane amount of brass. Bullets are easy enough to source. Primers may be an issue, I guess, but I'm still relatively well stocked on those. Just can't get worried anymore.

"Ammunition Supply Company is currently down due to maintenance or capacity issues. We'll be back in a few minutes."
Been down all weekend. Usually decent prices.

Looks like massammo is also out of stock on the popular items in bulk as well.


Glad I bought bulk orders last week. Depending on the outcome this evening, there may be a run everywhere.

FedEx delivered 2,000 rounds of 9mm to me today, at 20 cpr shipped from Sportsman's Guide.

I did panic a little and order some Glock 19 mag parts kits a few minutes ago from another vendor. Tried to get 3 but they only had 2 so I cleaned them out.

 

[Jim M]

I hope prices now adjust to sane levels. Maybe the panic mongering will diminish and prices will fall if people buy what they need instead of enough to outfit a small nation's army.

I'd also hope that .22 becomes available enough that CCI starts making CB caps again. I use that to introduce kids to shooting, but I'm afraid to use up the supply I have left as the prices are so out of whack on what little is left.
