      During bush 2, I bought about 50k rounds. I never paid over 3 dollars for 9, 12ga, 223, 762.54, 762.39, anything else u can think of, etc. Unless I was buying target ammo for 22, I never spent over 1 dollar. I bought 2 first gen saigas in 223 and 762.39, for 250 each. U could buy ANY rifle, new out of the case ex military surplus, for 50 bucks. What Obama did to ammo in this country, is criminal. And because the cost of ammo went nuclear, the cheapest ammo now is basically 762.54 so to buy lots of it and range shoot, ur mosin rifle is now going to cost u 500 dollars. I doubt u can buy a new AK, for under 600.

    Bass Pro/Cabela's have ridiculously high ammo prices. Most big box stores have high ammo prices. I used to buy ammo on a regular basis from my local Cabela's here in Fort Worth, but it has been a long time since I have even been there since the ammo gouge started. I bought a bunch of ammo from Walmart when they couldn't gouge because they were considered a grocery store, but since then they started gouging like all the rest. There is ammo everywhere, but it seems most places got so used to gouging they don't want to stop. I only buy online now when there is a good sale or maybe free shipping on any of the cartridges I use. There are deals out there you just have to always be on the lookout and be ready to buy when they present themselves.

    As someone who has been in the ammo industry for over a decade, there is so much that affect the price of ammo that most folks don't think about. That being said, the reason why you have larger packs that are more, is because they are newer production. The Manufacturer NOT the retailer has raised their price due to this being an election year in anticipation for the consumer runs on ammo as it gets closer.
    5:00 the reason why 22lr got so expensive is because Obama used his executive authority to hold up SHIPPING CONTAINERS full of it at ports, and didn't allow it to be distributed. This caused the domestic manufacturers to ramp up production, but supply could never meet demand. Most retailers that bought high, had to cost average their old stuff as their was no other option.
    Ammo prices also change with the cost of metals, powder, the availability to actually get the components. Until the importing of russian ammo comes back, the prices of the individual components go down - your freedom seeds really aren't going to be going down from here.
    13:00 You're correct - this will be the new norm until the above happens. Gun show vendors, the fella selling a box for $13, he is making $.50 - $1.00 per box at most unless he purchased many pallets of it.
    The other part of this is, you need to consider where in the US you are getting your ammo from as well. Prices in California will be higher than prices in say Nebraska

      As someone older and a reloader for well over 40 years one thing that proved to be true is the Gun / Ammo community is the biggest back stabbing, cut their own families throat community I have ever seen in all my life. There's proof of God's Word being true. For the LOVE of money is the root to all evil. There's nothing this community want to do to cut throats and stab people in the back for the love of money. I have seen one poor sap pay $140.00 dollars for a box of 45 ACP and 9mm. The Japper behind the counter told the poor sap it was supply and demand. As the poor sap crawled away bleeding from his rectum back to his car all I could do is think how bad this poor sap got raped. In this same store a worker told me they paid their distributors {Big Money} to keep them supplied. In other words the distributor, was getting Cash in the pocket to cut others off to keep them with Ammo at this price. This is only one of many stories of the back stabbing and throat cutting of this community. I seen $400.00 to 600.00 dollar handguns going for two times the price. Another store, I was told point blank, there was a line of people waiting for them to open. The worker went down and pulled every sticker off all the ARs they had. As the poor saps came running in and asked for prices the worker looked at the stickers and dubbled the price and sold them ALL. Then he told me, many of these guns will come back in 4 to 6 months because the people don't want or need them and they will buy them back for $200.00 400.00 dollars depending on the Rifle. This is the true reason for many of the prices people face, it's not that the prices are going up, only the LOVE of money. I have seen this happen many, many times over the years and knowing Gun Shop owners and the workers there's a great number of stories just like this that I can tell. Buy as you see fit and please, as for me they want get my hard earned money. There's nothing they have I can't live without.

    Ammo is sort of back and at better than C19 prices, but many calibers are still hard to find at any price. In Jan 2020 a local store was selling 1000 9mm bulk pack for about $160-$170. So while . 30 is better than it has been, it's still twice 2019 prices.

    Before Obama got elected, I was buying the federal 550 ct. Boxes for $8.96 ea. And before covid, I was buying the Remington bucket of bullets for $64.00 ea. We all remember 9mm at $7.99 a box, too! A friend of mine who owns a reloading/bullet casting business just told me that he is paying $4000.00 per ton for lead. Metal prices have skyrocketed since the Obama years, and of course dont forget the issues with primer availability. I havent bought centerfire rifle ammo in years, as I reload my own. The price of bullets has gone from $7. - $8.00 a box to around $30.00/box. Powder was in the $20./pound range and now is around $60./pound. When I was young, .45 acp, 30-06, and .308 were the most common rounds, with lots of people shooting other big bores like 41 mag, 44mag, and 45-70. I saw 41mag lead reloads at the last gunshow selling for over $40./50. Its no wonder why 40 S&W and larger, heavy bullet rounds are losing favor. Who can afford to spend a Saturday at the range shooting several hundred rounds?

A friend up here has a 380 & you really must settle for what you can get at over $ 2.00 a round.

Been around $40 ish around here, up until about a year ago, when prices started to come down a little bit, to around $30, or so. Most 9mm runs between $12 and 18 in this area, usually $15-16, though. Its usually cheaper to buy it in online nowadays, if you can get free shipping.

Because during the first year of the plandemic, ammo everywhere is skyrocketing but BPS and Academy prices were staying the same for a few months. Then it started to creep up. Now everyone’s prices are coming down but their prices are still high. That’s what makes me wonder if they bought this batch of ammo at a high price therefore it has to be sold at a high price 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every time the retail price went up the owner would add a new price sticker. The boxes were towards the front door on the north side, so they were not bleached by the sun. But they were very bleached, it was so obvious. Who knows how old they were? I never asked him and he's passed now.

And we were warned months ago by the mfgs of the coming shortage this fall. If you are waiting to buy thinking the prices are EVER going to come down you are going be disappointed.
    On a related note, the sales of both guns and ammo are WAY down this year. With the election coming this November you know there is going to be some event that stirs up trouble. If the election goes blue you can expect more attacks on the 2A so it isn't a bad idea to stock up now while you can still get it.

Now you have to search around online for 7.62x39, because you can rarely find it on the shelves here, in the Midwest (IL/IN border). I know for sure that Cabela’s in Hammond hasn’t had any 7.62x39 on the shelves in years since the Ukraine war began. Big box store prices are ridiculous compared to online bulk prices w/ free shipping. Let it sit on the shelves and collect dust!

I still have a lot of Federal GMM 168 gr. in .308 that was $18 a box of 20. Self-defense pistol rounds were anywhere from $20 to $30 a box of 20.

    Ladies & Gentlemen, imagine the price you pay (high or low) BUT have to add 11% more to the price. Insane, right? Thats what we have to pay here in California. Governor Newscum was happy to sign that bill and it started July 1st. Also, for those that are not aware, in order to buy ammo here were have to have a quick-check background check EVERY time you buy AND we are charged an additional $1.00 to have it done. Yes, really.
