    The prices are a bit steep, but I so enjoy these trips to the brick and mortar ammo stores. It's just fun shopping and seeing the inventory.

    AK is picking back up online, Hornady is making steel cased ammo now.
    AR in bulk has been drying up all over the place.
    I would say that now is the time to buy in bulk if you can find it.

    Prices everywhere suck universally. Keep track of the sales/clearance they run regularly at Academy. Currently no purchase limits, when your Caliber of choice goes on sale, spend accordingly.

    What’s good man. I hate these prices are so inflated smh here in the part of Alabama I’m in they luckily have everything shelved. Id say our prices have been fairly steady, specially Monarch. That’s all I’ve been shooting the past month or 2. Now the self defense ammo for 9mm 5.56 and .223 are all scarce tho

    When you go to Academy there should be alot of ammo at their prices. The last minute of your video was very wise information and needs to be adhered to. PS stay out of the academy when buying ammo/go internet and buy bulk. Ammo will not be going down in price every again.

      Yeah if you buy that garbage turkish ish its looking more like $.24-.26 a round with taxes and shipping
      20 cent a round is new brass plated steel case 115 grain fmj without sales tax/shipping so yeah some website kill u on the shipping while others give you free shipping if you are buying cases and such

    • @TheTAEclub
      @TheTAEclub 3 місяці тому

      There is new turkish ammo that costs 14 cents a round but i would trust it like remanufactured ammo off of a random website
      Not sure how much they charge for shipping
      That $147 for a 1000rnd case of 9mil is alluring but they do have harder primers on average and doesnt burn as clean
      Also it blew up some people guns in different calibers maybe even 9mm so fuck it

    Do not buy anything Monarch that label "Made in Turkey" it ZSR or BSP repackage. Monarch with "Made in Serbia" or "made in Brazil" are good to buy. Serbia is PPU and Brazil is Magtech.
    The 7.62x39 Winchester white box you pick up (20 rounds for $19.99) is actually PPU repackaged by Winchester.

    "Ammo Shortage" is a Crock of Crap! The public Loves Panic. Another Excuse to Gouge the Buyer, performed by a Foreign Owned Czek company, allowed by our Government. Anybody that is without materials on hand to Reload is in dire straights. I am Amazed at adds I receive for 9mm bulk, priced @ $0.24 each round. I cast and powder coat my own bullets for all pistol calibers, have softshell powder left over and purchased some cheap imported primers, in order to continue my rang practice trips. My partial solution is to "Practice with 22LR Rimfire". and that is still at $0.10 each on a deal. Panic Sucks-Remember that !
