So where's the ammo shortage? OKC gunshow this weekend Guy is selling Federal 9mm multiple pallets.
6 boxes per package $90 plus $5 tax $95 out the door that's $15 a box.
My brother took reloading supplies and a Dillon loader. Not one person stopped to look. Reloading supply shortage?
Only thing that's selling for him is Snap-on tools.
Wow $15 for 50 rounds? People pay that much?

There maybe no shortage:scratch: :rolleyes2, but the prices are ridiculous. Back in March, I got 9mm/50rds(box) for $8.99 at Atwoods.

I was lucky this week.

Long story short,,,
I needed to kill 30 minutes waiting for Happy Hour.

I stopped into Wal Mart to peruse their $3.73 video bin.

I walked past the near empty ammo case,,,
Lo and behold there were five Federal 550 round bulk packs.

That's my favorite tin can plinking ammo,,,
I snarfed 'em up like a starving man on a ham sandwich.

This morning I stopped there on my way to work to fill a prescription,,,
They had five 100 round packs of Mini Mag 40 gr RN.

That's my favorite semi-auto pistol ammo,,,
Again, I snarfed 'em up.

Wally World may have inconsistent stock,,,
But at least they aren't raising their prices.

$19.95 for the bulk packs and $7.47 for the Mini Mags,,,
That's the same price they were when the Obama Shortage finally ended.

I'm a happy camper today. :thumbup3:

P.S. My .22 ammo count is now exactly 48,004 rounds,,,
Not quite where it was before Obama,,,
But getting close.

I was in academy the other day in Owasso and was amazed to see a lot of Mini Mag on the self. That and shotsell was about it. Minis were $8.60 a box I think. I left them for the needy.

Remember how we all got down on cheaper than dirt when they jacked their prices up before? Well, it seems like everybody’s doing it now. I tried to buy some 380 ammo online 1000 round case of 95 grain full metal jacket $666. That’s $.66 around triple the normal cost. I really have a fear that this is not gonna get any better for quite some time. I refuse to pay that price I’ll just shoot my bulk 22 and be stingy with my centerfire ammo.

It’s just frustrating.

It’s not uncommon for companies to charge replacement cost pricing for inventory already in their warehouses. Especially in times like these all companies meed as much profit as they can find since there are major holes in their revenue streams. It’s called operating like a business if your costs (from all of your suppliers double overnight and you are sitting in your warehouse full of product) you get to raise your price. You would be a full not too in this situation. The free market will shake it all out in the long run.
