LilBunniFuFu Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Just got the price list for the match ammo for this years Pan American Handgun Championship. Take a gander below. Check the VALOR USD column for The dollar price. And this is for CBC which makes Magtech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 and why the heck is 9mm so much more expensive then 38 super? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT1106 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yeah, well, the US has great firearms freedoms some only dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) and why the heck is 9mm so much more expensive then 38 super?Brasil is one of those countries where NATO designations for ammo are outlawed. 9mm illegal, .556 illegal, 7.62x51 illegal. But 38 super, 9x21, 9x23, .223, and .308 are all fine to own for some reason. Edited June 11, 2015 by LilBunniFuFu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I get legal vs illegal, but clearly both are offered for sale on that chart, so why is 9mm more expensive then 38 super? Is it that the general supply of one is higher then the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Supply and demand, only foreigners and military are shooting 9mm and the military guys get free ammo. Getting ammo into the country is a hassle so it will get sold at that absurd price since the firearm permits have already been applied for.

nitrohuck Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 maybe I'm missing something but I can't see the quantity of rounds purchased for the listed prices, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 50 maybe ??? No idea what "comelia" means - but - guessing quantity ??? If so, i'd skip that match !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) surely no where in the world does 50 rounds of 9mm cost $1213 USD. That's nearly $25 a round! I'm guessing it's for 1000 rounds which is still super expensive at $1.21 a round but still believable as match ammo costs go. I think you'll find the colmeia is packet size. so 50 to a packet/box, 1,000 rounds. Often other countries use . instead of , in quantities etc. I'm sure it's 1000 rounds. still expensive but not insane!

Steve RA Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Seems a little better like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yes, this is per case of 1,000 rounds. CBC/Magtech have a 100% monopoly on all munitions in the country. Primers, powder, brass all of it are made or imported by them. As such they can do what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent #1911 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) wow if the recoil doesn't make me flinch, the price per bang will.... Edited June 29, 2015 by Agent #1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 wow if the recoil doesn't make me flinch, the price per bang will.... Not just that, locally some shooters have been having many problems with Magtech lately. Bullets not chambering, bang bang poof bang loads. I have a feeling that there with be quite a few issues with ammo and guns at this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Brasil. Awesome. I would probably tip somebody to get only good ammo. It's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm assuming many shooters will bring their own ammo. Not sure about local shooters though. Can they reload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they can reload but CBC has a monopoly on all components meaning junk powder and hard primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
