Ammo prices are absolutely insane right now - Page 2

300blk really benefits from reloading I cast lead 230gr or 247gr bullets for about .05 and powder coat them.

About cost
.05 bullet
.03 primer
.05 powder
.07 once fire case (if no range pickups)
—————-
.20 Or .13 when you reuse the same case next time.

I picked up 800 rounds of .45 recently, i feel a little better but still not good enough to go shooting every few days like I used to.

you can still snag it at that price...but it will be cheap steel cased stuff.

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.

I started stocking up regularly sometime around 2013-2014. I have enough of every caliber I own to get by for quite a while.

For the casual collector / shooter id say you need to keep bare minimum 1k rounds of every caliber you own in emergency do not touch reserves unless its some bizarre shit you don't shoot often.

I just rarely shoot my rifles.

My cans got out of jail last week!!!!! Now I just need to get somewhere to shoot...quietly!

Nice, what'd you get? The one I'm waiting on is a YHM Resonator R2 in .30 cal.

For my .22s The Scoundrel: http://www.texassilencercompany.com/#scoundrel

For my .300 AAC/5.56 Omega 300: https://silencerco.com/silencers/omega-300/

I liked the quick change on the Omega so went with it. I bought an extra muzzle brake to put on one of my 5.56s, so I can go between it and the 300 quickly. Should be fun.

I think I'm going to get 2 more working ASAP.

Nice... I'm going to get a 2nd muzzle QD for my 5.56 as well and use the can on both. I've also got a Rex Silentium SEG for my .22 that is awesome, for $200 it's hard to beat.

Someone at work was talking about the price of ammo. I never look anymore since I am ok on what I need. I looked at SGAmmo today and was surprised there isn't shit anywhere. I did laugh when I noticed a whole sleeve (200) of PRVI Partizan .223/.556 that blended in with the wall. I don't own a personal AR anymore and thought I had gotten rid of it all.

Hey I'm closer..Jose has enough!!

kingjason · 10-01-2020, 12:40 PM

I will bet Jose has enough to support a small army, and Jeff I am not sure you own anything that shoots .223. LOL

Broncojohnny · 10-01-2020, 08:18 PM

As soon as the election is over and the price of ammo gets back down to normal I think I'm going to buy tens of thousands of rounds for the next election cycle.

Both my AR-15 and Mini-14 shoot it quite nicely.

If you have the space to store it this is a solid investment idea.

Shit you can't find primers anywhere! People are price gouging anyone looking for them too. I saw somewhere 1,000 primers for well over $100.

AnthonyS · 10-02-2020, 09:17 AM

!!!!!! I didn’t realize my primers are now worth gold and silver prices. We really do live in bizarro world right now.

Jose · 10-02-2020, 09:48 AM

If Jeff needs it, please sell to him if he wants it. He needs to learn to stop buying ammo from the box stores and buy in bulk from online like the rest of us "shooters"

Speaking of which. I got an email from Lucky Gunner the other day warning that they are trying to pass a bill to block the selling of ammo online. Anyone hear of this? I don't normally buy from box stores. To much of a hassle, going from store to store to see what they have, especially in these times. I'll pay shipping for the convenience and knowing I'm supporting companies that back the Second Amendment. Fuck Dicks Sporting Goods, Walmart, and Acadmey.
