Ammo increase in price

Well this morning my several product alerts tell me that all manner of 9mm at TSUSA is still .60/round.

Just an FYI.  (For Your Irritation)

  • You are still wrong. We can, and have repeatedly dried up the whole world because the US domestic ammunition market dwarfs everything else in the ammo world. Your understanding of the market is shit,

    The unpleasant memory of the shortages in the 2013-2016 timeframe, especially for 22LR, remains fresh in my mind.  As such over recent years I have made it a priority to acquire an “adequate” amount f

After the panic of late 2012-early 2013, I stocked up, and bought lots of ammo whenever the prices were good.  Still, I would not sell any, as the supply and price situations don't look like they will get better any time in the foreseeable future.  While I have a lot, it's not an infinite supply, and I'm planning on making it last for at least the next several years.

 

Similar here. In fact, the panic of 2012-2014 coincided with my new found preparedness mindset that stemmed from Hurricane Sandy. That new mindset is what got me back “all in” into 2A and firearms. So over these years have acquired an “adequate” amount of ammo for my needs.  Worth repeating something I once read.  “The ammo you have on hand may be all you were ever have.” and factoring this into your inventory planning.  As an aside, about a year ago I donated approx. 4K rounds of 22lr to CNJFO for their youth shoots. Still thrilled to have done that regardless of the current price.

Someone 'complained' in a forsale thread..about he price of .22 lr

 

 

45 per 500..or so.

 

Yes that is LESS than the going rate..i sold two bricks at 85 a pop yesterday...  i PAID .05 a round....back years ago...do i feel bad ? 

 

Not one bit...the buyers are seasoned shooters...   who REFUSED to pay attention..

 

NEW shooters get a pass....and good prices 

You and I think exactly the same on this. I may have even posted it on this forum.

Newbies, who are friends, get my ammo at pre-panic prices. Anyone who owned firearms during the post-Sandy Hook shortage should have known better and get zero sympathy from me.

Who complained?

And a couple kind forum members with the same attitude help me out greatly with ammo when I picked up my first rifle and pistol, ammo was nowhere to be found, but members here sold me two 500 round cases at a very fair price. Did they make a few dollars? Absolutely! Did they deserve to? Absolutely!

Life has its disappointments.

But not at .60/round!

Whoever complained is a fking loser who should be banned. You don't like price, move on

Well the FS thread got locked - so it is a moot point.

But the seller was selling it cheap, considering.

There are the two schools of thought on this and it always reminds me of Aesop fable - that can be applied to the ammo situation:

yup..going to $1/rd

 

I have some 168gr FGMM that I'm going to list as I no longer need it.  I have several k.  thinking 1.5-1.75 is good in this market

So, just asking (for a friend), would $.60 per round for 9mm Federal American Eagle 115 grain, full metal jacket, 9mm luger ammunition be a fair price in today's market?

'Fair' is in the mind and wallet of the buyer. Right now .60/round is the bottom end price for most available 9mm.

Through online retailers anyway. If you have a friend somewhere you might do better.

oos and I'll bet that in 3 mos, we'll think this was 'cheap' .   My guess is 5.56 is going $1 round

.380 auto, .38 special have come down .20 cents a round, up over a $1 a round 4 weeks ago. Might be time for that new Henry.
