Ammo prices are absolutely insane right now

32vfromhell · 07-07-2020, 04:22 PM

Using Ammoseek, i am able to snipe a few "deals" here and there, but holy shit.

Looks like im not shooting my 300BO any time soon, at the cost of like $1 a round.

I used to have a few good leads on some 9mm 115gr and 147gr reman that i need, but cant find em anymore.

I have an aero AR lower and finding parts to complete it is a bad proposition right now too.

I knew I wasn’t a fool when I bought a few cases of various calibers each month years ago.

Jose · 07-07-2020, 07:26 PM

I bought a few cases just as the shit was hitting the fan. So I'm good for a little bit.

Same. I will likely do it again as they bottom out, but I'm starting to need a warehouse.

I was watching this shit back in november/december when it started tearing through china. Bought my ammo needs in jan/feb before it got nuts.

ram57ta · 07-07-2020, 09:58 PM

Wish I had more but nowhere to keep it.

Nash B. · 07-07-2020, 10:13 PM

Not a bad time to start reloading

svauto-erotic855 · 07-08-2020, 07:34 AM

Prior to the shit hitting the fan sgammo was selling stuff at below-cost; things that I had bought in the past and simply couldn't resist buying more of so I stocked up.

Yup, I've been reloading for years, only thing I stocked up on (a bit, not a ton) at the beginning of March was .22 and shotgun ammo. I still need more of that.

lowthreeohz · 07-08-2020, 08:45 AM

i've got a couple k of various rounds, try to keep a few hundred in every caliber but it can be a challenge. i was having a hard time paying 28 or 31c a rd for 223 a while back, now i'm kicking myself for not buying more

AnthonyS · 07-08-2020, 09:39 AM

I have over a thousand rounds of each caliber and several thousand of 22 and 223, but I hate the current pricing too. I try and buy in bulk when prices are good. In November things are either going to go back to sane levels or this will look like the good times. It comes down to if the DNC can actually steal and election by any means possible. I don't think they actually care about winning legally anymore, just claiming victory.

Craizie · 07-08-2020, 10:04 AM

That new(ish) place in grapevine had some decent prices. Texas gun experience or something like that. They have shit loads of machine guns, too. I think the lady was saying Tuesdays they would pick 3 random machine guns and offer $20 a mag to shoot them as well.

If someone has a cpl boxes of 9mm they wouldn’t mind parting with please pm me.

$5 a round. No lowballers, i know what i have!!!!!!!!!

inline 6 · 07-08-2020, 07:49 PM

Everyone here at work is asking me where I buy my ammo. I laugh. You buy it when you don't need it is what I tell em. Then you can find it everywhere.

That being said, ive got some 22 im absolutely not going to shoot. Probably about 1500 rounds of various brands id let go if anyone is desperate. Its good stuff I just found one particular factory load that my rifles really like and I separated out anything that wasn't that in my supplies.

I am glad I have "hoarded" so much ammo over the years and haven't made it to the range to deplete my supply.

I'm still living off 1000 rnds of subsonic 147 9mm I bought during black friday in 2016 lol

And truff to the .300blk ammo, I wanted to build a .300BLK SBR, but at the price of the ammo, just bought a standard 5.56 10.5" upper since I already have so much ammo.

bird_dog0347 · 07-09-2020, 07:53 AM

I'm building my 8" 300BLK Pistol for when my can gets out of NFA jail later this year. I already reload so I'll just have to get dies for this one. I've got about 300-500 pieces of brass already and just ordered 500 projectiles yesterday so I should be set. I've got thousands of .223 already and plenty more to load if/when I need it... I just rarely shoot my rifles.

GrayStangGT · 07-09-2020, 08:36 AM

I'm still stocked up from the obama era, just really don't get out and shoot much any more unless its deer season.
