I went to the range today and was floored on seeing the price for "White Box" 9mm ammo, 25 rounds of FMJ was $39.99 total BS, I don't ever think the pricing will ever be lower anytime soon, thoughts?
Recoil Gunworks seems to have a large stock of 9mm ammo. They are offering 1000 rnd lots in several brands. Recon you can get as much as you want for 60 cents plus per rnd. Believe I will pass.
I hope you are right but I am not so sure. Once the retailers have realized that people will buy at high prices I don't see any incentive to lower them.
Classicfirearms.com has tula 9mm steel case for $499 @1000 rounds just a heads up
I'll give yall my address so yall can hook me up for the head up [emoji1787][emoji1787]

I went yesterday and took my own 9mm ammo, but I thought about buying a box of theirs just to have more rounds to practice with. They wanted $50 for a box of 50 rounds, I was appalled. Sad part is that people were buying it. The guy in front of me was there with his wife and kid and they were shooting an AR after ammo and range fees I overheard his total at over $200 dollars.
Wallmart (curse them, we hates them my Precious) used to sell boxes of 9mm 115gr brass Federal for about $10 a 50rnd box. About .20 a round. All the time, until they went full Woke. I'd stop there on my way to Point Blank range. Not anymore.
Well one of two things will happen.
Either the price will stay at this elevated level or
we're going to become better shooters!
But as was mentioned above, it will eventually ease, just maybe not in our lifetime!
A buddy of mine is done being a roughneck and said he was going on an ammo quest today.
He got some inside information that Academy in Denton had an unscheduled delivery so there should be plenty of ammo with no crowd.
I jumped in.
When we pulled in, a half hour before opening, evidently his intel was erroneous.
despite the paltry amount of ammo we both scored (if 3 box limit can be construed as a score)
Considering I only have 40 rounds of .300BO on hand, adding 60 more rounds to the stash is a positive.
Next stop. Decatur Texas. He heard a Farm & Feed store had ammo at good prices. We pulled into a pretty empty lot.
Looking pretty sparse in the ammo section.
Wait....WHAT?!?
2 200 round boxes of Winchester 5.56 for $79.99! Why hells bells that’s a decent price!
Lady says she’ll take $5 off if we sign up for the rewards plan. Uh...yes please.
Finally we tried the new Academy near Frisco.
Struck out. Evidently they put up a big sign so people know to wait on line or not. View attachment 236359
a pretty good idea.
I think every place we hit had .17 in stock.
I think that the threat of banning online sales is very real. I refuse to run out and buy at today's prices however. I just can't bring myself to pay 60 cents ppr or more for ammo I used to pay 20 cents ppr for (give or take). I am closely guarding what I have though. Don't expect I will do much shooting until I see how things go. Damned shame.
I believe that customers will eventually control the gougers. If we quit buying at these high prices sellers will have to lower prices. It has to happen eventually if for no other reason than we have run out of funds to buy with. LOL.
I thought something similar when gas was $4 a gallon.
