[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 3577992, member: 6777"] Manufacturers usually sell at msrp only ( I think it's some kind of non-competition law). Retailers bought at distributor pricing and sell at suggested dealer pricing which used to be 25% or more under suggested retail. Used to be a distributor bought a box of ammo for $5 sold it to a dealer (depending on size) for between $5.50 + $10 the dealer depending on overhead sold it from $7 - $15 but it had an msrp of $25 which no-one ever paid. Now we are being trained thru supposed shortages to accept msrp as the new normal. Once we accept this as the new normal, ammo will return to the shelves. One thing I would be interested in thru this inventory cleansing, is many years ago the anti-gunners wanted to make ammo have a expiration date. ( powder go bad, or primers die) Has anybody gotten some absolutely new production ammo and looked over the packaging for a date? The idea was to stop hoarding and stockpiling. [/QUOTE]
