[QUOTE="cschroder67, post: 2143561, member: 27310"] First of all people 40 is the new 20 when i comes to ammo. I know that we all used to get ammo from wally world or where ever on the internet for .20 cents a round. Well not no mo...that's done....finished....over....kaput, get over it. When gunshops are getting a dollar a round locally and internet retailers are getting 80 cents, the price will never get back to "normal". Kinda like gas, went to over 4 bucks a gallon, the days of gas under 2 bucks a gallon are gone forever, never to be seen again. It is not getting better it is getting worse. I watch it pretty closely, a month ago a deal for 9mm under .40 cents would last about 2 hours. Now it lasts about 20 minutes. the average deal from cabellas has gone up about 20% in the last 30 days plus limits on cases so more shipping=higher cost/profit per round. As long as people are willing to pay 80 cents a round for 9mm and .223, people will line up at walmart and academy at 6 in the morning to buy it and resell it. The best way to combat this is to start your own stockpile and only shoot what you have already replaced. I do not have any problems finding ammo. I post links on here quite a bit (sometimes multiple times daily) for ammo. If you want to get some, i just ordered 1000 rnds of 9mm for just a little over .30 a round, i suggest that you subscribe to my posts so that you get emails whenever i post something, i plan to continue posting as long as i find deals that are in stock.
