Ammo prices are absolutely insane right now

[Jose]

Does anyone need .22wmr? I have a ton Id be willing to let go for normal prices.

Maybe? Eventually I'd like to get another Ruger LCR in .22 LR and another in WMR. Shoot me a message and let me know what you have.

It’s a real issue. I have a lot of 22lr but anything else I shoot I’d like to replace. I just got a PSAK for this reason.

Yeah, this is me. I'm not in a shortage/bind situation on anything. Sure, I'd buy more now if it were normal prices, but I do not "need" anything. That being said, I'm not in a hurry to go to the range or go crazy at our lease. I was there this past weekend with my youngest son. I let him shoot as much as he wanted of 5.56, 300 AAC, and .22lr, but I may have shot half a mag of 300 at our range, and that was it. I didn't even dump a mag of the 45 on my leg all weekend.

The problem is I don't want to shoot now, as I won't be able to replenish my supply.

It’s not bad but a few years ago 500 rds was $100isg or in the $90s. I just picked up some brass case 7.62x39. It wasn’t as bad as 5.56 or 308 but it was pretty steep for range ammo.

Yeah, the good old days!

Cabela's in lubbock had 500rd packs of Winchester 9mm yesterday for $129.

Good price!

I was talking to one of the sales guys at Sports World here in Tulsa on Saturday. He commented that one of the snags that's compounding the reloading problem is that the large powder supply coming out of Australia has completely stopped due to lockdown. Sports World has been putting out ammo daily, but limiting how much you can buy. It seems to have calmed down some of the crazy hoarding, as they usually have ammo on the shelves. 380, 9, 45, Ar and Ak are available. Not cheap, around 19 bucks for 9 and up to 23 bucks for 45.

Ammo shortage strikes as hunting season begins
Store owners say that demand has been high all year and they're struggling to maintain stock
By Michael Hollan | Fox News

It’s looking like it’s going to be a busy hunting season.

According to multiple states, significantly more people than usual have applied for hunting licenses, likely due to a desire to get outside after the coronavirus pandemic forced many to cancel summer plans. Of course, more hunters means that more people are going to be shopping for guns and ammunition and some stores are reporting difficulty in keeping up with the demand.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation reported making $900,000 on the first day of hunting licensing and permitting. In 2019, that number was only $300,000.

It’s not just the higher demand for hunting that’s causing the shortage, WSAV reports. During the early months of the pandemic, store owners reported an increase in ammunition sales as well. According to some owners, they’re still feeling the impact from that time period.

Kayton Smith, who owns Pooler Guns in Georgia, explained to the news outlet, “During the May and June months, everyone bought up all the ammunition that was being made so there is very little ammunition currently available. Even things like the 270 bullets, I got an order of 20 boxes and they sold out in three days.”

On top of that, this year has seen a significant increase in the demand for hunting permits and licenses. According to KXAN, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation reported making $900,000 on the first day of hunting licensing and permitting. In 2019, that number was only $300,000.

“The hunting season hasn’t had that big of an impact in gun sales in years, but with folks being homebound — they’re sick of that,” Tim Kinton of Kinton Guns in Farmington, NY, explained to KXAN.

While he also reported a shortage of ammunition, he said he doesn’t think it will have too much of an impact on hunting season. On the other hand, he also said he doesn’t expect the problem to go away anytime soon.

I have no problem finding 7 mag rounds, or broadheads for my compound bow. :-D

Fox just ran a story. That will surely guarantee even more of a run on ammo.
