atvman400 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 He had to of missed typed. Bet he hit the 2 instead of the 5 right above it for a total of 500 rds which is what he shows in his picture. Still $22.50/box for 40? Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMarshall Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Well, anyone who goes to Wally World to buy their competition ammo must not know the good gun stores in town! That don't look like any ammo shelf I have seen in the last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I must be really getting old, I can remember when a 500 round brick of .22LR went for $9.95 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 at the prices in those pics no wonder he is well stocked. I'll just wait for the madness to die down. Only think I am really in the market for is 22, I have a few hundred, and dont ever shoot it, but I want a buckmark or 22/45. doesnt make sense to buy if I cant find ammo.

Stuck in C Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I just went to my local ranch supply store that also sells sporting goods and generally has the best ammo prices in the area. They had cases and cases of both rifle and pistol ammo, but the prices were ridiculous-if i had to pay those I couldnt afford to shoot. They also restricted sales to 5 boxes per customer per day. For example, 50 rounds of PMC 115 gr fmj 9mm that were $8 in December were now $18 and flying off the shelves. .40 and .45 fmj were $26, hollow points $32. But they had lots... The PMC XM-193 5.56 was not as as bad, $10 per 20 or $500 per case (but they wouldn't sell you a case).

Langenator Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 That seems to be pretty much the size of things...either the prices are insane, or there isn't any available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr. 3 gunner Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The Cabelas near me had some American Eagle 55gr .223 for $10/20 with a 10 box limit. Figured that wasn't too bad and since I needed some ammo for my AR when it's complete we jumped right on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than I wanted to pay but at least I have ammo for the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoracer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Finding ammo currently requires a lot of effort. I have been surfing the big guys most days at work (IT job midnight to 8AM) and just Tuesday at 4 AM I discovered MidwayUSA had a supply of Independence Ammo (Israeli) M193 55g FMJ 3240 FPS at 500 rds/$219. That was the best price I have seen since early December. It was on the truck to me before the day was out. Rest was gone before noon. I walked into a local WM on Wednesday and found 2 250 rd packs of UMC 115g 9mm. The guy in front of me got the first one. I am switching from 9x23 to 9mm for the pistol in 2013 and I did not want to reload 9mm just yet. I only have a 1000 bullet box of Ranier 115g plated left and I wanted to keep using that for my 9x23mm guns in USPSA. I finally think I have enough ammo for 2013. And I have enough .22 for practice although not as much as I normally shoot in a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNoHarm Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm in the same boat, don't want to finish off my .223, so got a 522 for the short stages in my local matches. Now, I can't find any .22lr either, real bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I can't find any .22lr either, real bummer. Just think of all those grandkids that got a .22 for Christmas. Maybe should of gone with the new X-Box instead.

DavidmGage Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think it will take a few months after it becomes obvious to the panic folks that the media has been campaigning for a lost cause. I also hope thay new manufacturers spring up. alot of the folks buying gear.and ammo are new and will continue to need ammo and parts. I think as soon as federal puts out another run of the M855 and then crooks like CTD will not be able to sell 280$ worth of ammo for 1000$ because walmart/cabellas will have it at the regular price.
