Newtonian 453 Posted September 23, 2015 Don't know if this is the right forum to post this in but I've been getting a lot of info on back orders I've filed over the last 3-4 years. .22lr seems to be available again but it's still 10-20 cents/round, and when you add shipping and limits much more. You could have got it for 10 cents through ammoseek throughout the "crisis." .380 doesn't seem to have gone down at all either. Luckily I dumped my .380. 9mm seems to have come down 30% or more from the peak. Saw an add for <$11.00/50. I wasn't shooting it five years ago: Is that a decent "pre-crisis" price?

PK90 3,569 Posted September 23, 2015 IMO, .22LR is about 10 cents per round. Double what it was in Nov '12 .380 is about 20% higher 9mm is back down to what it was Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted September 23, 2015 In my PA travels I have been getting Federal Auto Match for .0652 round and Winchester 555 for 0573 round OTD. Of course the daily limits of 1 are in effect but I'm going by couple times a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carl_g 568 Posted September 23, 2015 The only way now to shoot 380 at an affordable rate is to roll your own..the price difference per round is insane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSD1026 48 Posted September 23, 2015 You can find 22 for less than 10¢ per round fairly regularly now, but you have to be online and look for deals. i bought about 2500 rounds a few weeks back for what came out to be 6.75¢ per round delivered. Even Minimags can be had for less than 10¢ per round on a somewhat regular basis. Cant comment on 380, but 9mm is plentiful and cheap these days. $11 per box can be found every day and when there are good deals, you can get it for $10 per box delivered. Stock up now at these prices, as there will almost inevitably be another shortage/rush on ammo in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Matrix 105 Posted September 23, 2015 9mm is cheap these days. I've been stocking up. Never know when things can change, which often, happens fast and unexpected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louu 399 Posted September 24, 2015 Dude get a press and make your own. You will never shoot 22's again when you can make 9mm cheaper than you can buy 22's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louu 399 Posted September 24, 2015 Also the hour that you wasted on the interwebs searching for 22's you could have made 300 rounds plus... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheWind 17 Posted September 24, 2015 I got some Federal .22 for semi autos, 325 a box for $20 a box, even sold me 5 boxes, I have gotten about 5K at Dicks over the summer most I paid was $38 a brick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sota 1,191 Posted September 24, 2015 I picked up 525x10 bricks of federal 745 for $0.085/rnd shipped. granted I only shoot jacketed because I'm a lazy fuck and don't want to have to clean lead out of my .22's all the damn time, otherwise I could find .22lr for about $0.05/rnd. and it might be time to go camel sniffing for more, even if i have 12k in stock. also if you want cheap, it's still pretty damn hard to beat freedom munitions. 9mm 115gr for $9.69/50 and .380 100gr for $11.60/50 in their blaster line. wait for another one of their free shipping deals and go nuts.

TonyS. 12 Posted September 25, 2015 I've pretty much given up on .22lr now since I'm reloading for .45acp. Can't find 22lr it locally and what I do find is overpriced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,894 Posted September 26, 2015 yup, i stopped shooting .22lr. I have a couple thousand rounds tucked away, but until i get my hands on more(cheaply) i just shoot the other calibers that came back down to reasonable prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but .22lr is still the cheapest ammo you can find. Even at $11/50 9mm is twice as expensive as bulk .22. I shoot 350-400 rounds of .22 every time I go out. If I shot that many 9x19 or 9x18 my hand would fall off and I'd be living in a cardboard box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,894 Posted September 29, 2015 It's more on principle. I'm not paying more then 5c a round maybe 6c for cci. I refuse to pay inflated prices due to demand. Component prices have tanked since chinas market sucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Component prices have tanked since chinas market sucks.I'm with you on that....just because .22 is slightly cheaper than 9mm its still not priced where it belongs & im not buying it during gouging season Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSD1026 48 Posted October 6, 2015 it may be a bucket o turds (and i wouldnt necessarily buy them) and it may be sold out 5 hours after i posted the link, but they were certainly available and in stock when i posted it (and it was less than 6.5¢ per round).. stuff is there, you just have to pay attention. i know, some dont have access to the internet during the day, but all we can do is post stuff when its found Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
