New Store = Same Story? February Ammo Hunt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- My apologies for yesterday. I messed up the file.
WAY too many individual offerings to detail individually, but they did have some options that just aren't available anywhere else in town.
More options are always better, but seeing that the prices are pretty much the same across the board, the state of ammo prices in store is pretty depressing.
Check out some of my other videos!

At those prices, the shelves should remain well stocked.
Yup! I didn’t buy anything that day despite to plethora of options
You got that right!!!
And a good thing too. These big corporate stores are a cancer on the small mom & pop shops that are the lifeblood of healthy communities.
For real. Ur speaking facts
Might want to buy now before the shelves are empty again.
The acquisition of Sportsmans warehouse did not occur. It is separate from Bass Pro and Cabela’s. Good video!
Blazer 9mm for $11.99 a box at bucking horse outpost with FREE SHIPPING when you spend 125 bucks. Cant beat that...
Not bad. Never heard of them and just checked out their website. Tks.
That’s a pretty good deal
I have seen that as high as 19.00
Everybody has ammo but nobody has affordable ammo
Agreed
I still buy ammo in bulk online. Internet still has best price.
The days of .29c 9mm ..Memories
If you walk into a store that well stocked these days somethings not right.
That was the first day they were open 😂
@@andrewmconrad oh shoot. My suspicious nature has made a fool of me once again damnit! Lol 😭
@@jf7393 all good 🤣
What a nice, clean, well organized store! It was like walking through a dream of fishing and hunting gear! Thanks, for remembering to stop and check on the .350 Legend. I appreiate it!
You’re welcome. Yeah, everything was so nice and new and organized. We’ll see how long that lasts 😂
Ammo is plentiful the prices are just inflated but I guess that’s not going anywhere..
Yes, unfortunately 😢
Thanks for making these videos! Good job as always.
Thanks brother
Appreciate the ammo update! Enjoy the weekend Andrew!!
Thanks Brad, you too!
Thanks for the update. Saves me the 1 hr drive to city ... Same prices here in NY.
Glad I could help 👊🏻
Nice to see all that ammo, even if it is more than I want to pay...gotta remember a couple years ago, people lined up at stores hoping for the truck to bring something...so, availability first, then worry about the pricing...our local big box is advertising 10 cent mini-mags, sale starts tomorrow, I'll probably grab a couple boxes...the big deal for us right now is 9mm fmj at 12.99 a box, that is a half decent price (we buy nothing online), at a local gunshop...but yeah, like seeing lots of ammo...
That’s a decent price for 9mm. Always a threat from the current administration to keep the ammo prices up high. Hopefully it doesn’t last for ever, but just like a lot of things, this could be “the new normal”
Same with the local SW here in the opposite corner of the country, extremely high ammo prices. I call it the "we don't want to sell it price."
Yeah, that’s pretty much what it is 😂
i think they know it will sell eventually. eventually, probably not too far off in the future, there will be another run on ammo and people will pay an arm and aleg for anything that goes bang. find deals now and get it as you can.
Having a wide selection of ammo is nice! Being priced well that’s priceless.
I remember when there was competition which kept prices reasonable.
Most i paid for the 420 box of 5.56 193/ss109 was 75$ and they came with a charging spoon and 30 rounds in sleeve with stripper clips.
That 420 box must have been a while ago. Lowest I’ve seen was lately was $219 and I thought that was still really expensive.
It was, back in the day when Walmart actually carried pistol rounds. Once their competition was gone the local academy sold the same thing for $179. Their decision with other companies that treated firearms owners with disdain is the reason prices went up and supply went down.
Seeing the pile of federal premium got me excited. I’ve seen once box of 30-30 in the past 3 years and I HAD to buy it. I don’t even have a 30-30 I gave it to my dad
I’ve seen a bunch of 30-30 around town, but we’re not exactly a large hunting area like up north
We had a Sportsmans Warehouse where I live, but they went out of business. Prices were too high. I bought whatever I could because I didn't want them to go out, but they did anyway...
Sportsman's warehouse didn't get bought by Bass pro/ Cabela's they were trying to make a deal to buy them but it fell through
When I searched, it said that it happened, but I didn’t read further to hear the deal was called off. Thanks
They posted the deal cancelation on a sandwich board outside my store. So glad. I don't buy ammo here but primers and guns can be very well priced.
As someone who has to drive an hour one direction or the other to go to sportsman's or bass pro, I find that bass pro is better for ammo, sportsman's is better for firearms. Getting their emails is a good heads up and ordering the stuff for pickup at the store is nice, so you have what you want locked up and waiting for you.
Yeah, I’ll have to keep that in mind for the future. Thanks
Those shelves will never need stocking
Sportsmans is still most expensive for me, even RangeUSA puts some stuff on sale to beat them. Best for me is Academy. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, everything seemed considerably higher in Sportsman’s. It’s almost like Dunham’s (sp?) that Tools shows off. Consistently high, laughable, prices
Sportsman's is typically over priced for ammo. However, when they have primers, they have better pricing than the online retailers like Natchez
I saw Remington is going to pick up production again. Not UMC, but it should help nonetheless
Sportsman’s is my go too because of the loyalty program they have. Spend $100 you get a $1 back and when you shop every week it adds up fast !
Yoooo i knew it was this place from the thumbnail thats crazy i got a local channel suggested! I went in for the first time monday and could not believe the options they have! No more having to travel from Naples to Estero for a bass pro like shop! They are pricey on some ammo but others they have at the same price as other places.
I bought .410 back in 2018, before the CRAZY TRAIN HIT.. .40 - .90 round..About 400 shells , 00 , 000 , sebot , flechette , #4 , 6 .. LOVE my .410
Wow. Ridiculous prices. With prices like that, online is the way to go.
Definitely the way to go is online
Federal’s parent company Vista Outdoors who owns a lot of companies that cater to the big box stores and let the LGS die on the vine.
For example, Alliant powder is only available to certain mega vendors like Brownells, Scheels, Academy, etc.
Here in Houston Academy has a lot of Federal and CCI primers at $100/1000 plus 8.25% sales tax.
Academy has a monopoly on primers because they buy a LOT. Of Vista Outdoors products.
8:04
My LGS cannot get any Alliant Powder nor any primers from his wholesaler.
Luckily we can get Hodgdon powders but Federal primers are scarce and expensive.
Thank you vista for making the shooting sports too expensive for the average working person.
Sportsman's Warehouse is more expensive than Dunham's, at least in my area.
Well at least they have tons of ammo, but their pricing is high! The high-end rifle rounds were running $2 plus per round!
I was at the Cabela's store in Hamberg last weekend. The had tons of asst. powders and heads. The had 8 bricks of small rifle primers for $153.00 each.
I was in BPS yesterday and they had a lot of powder and a bunch of small rifle primers, but they were 89.99 and 99.99 for #41
The Academy I go to for ammo here in central Texas still only has the popular calibers..9mm, .45, and even .38 but no .357. And 30-30 is hard to find but 30-06 is plentiful.
But like your video all is priced quite a bit more per round.
There was a bunch of 357 mag a few weeks ago, but not much anymore.
Our local Fleet Farm in SE WI has a sale going on with Blazer Brass 9mm for $12/50 rnds. Also CCI minimag 22lr for $8/100 rnds. Best prices we’ve seen here in a long time. I’m stacking it deep.
Yeah, good price to start stocking up with
Ya, it would be nice to see the prices come down
Hopefully 🤞🏻
I love these ammo videos
Me too. I’m gonna do them every now and then, but not every week like I was.
I totally understand
as much as i like to buy locally, i have resorted to buying ammo online, even paying for shipping, the cost is much better overall due to the lower prices. for example i just got 200 5.56 for $.50/rnd. add $8.99 shipping and its still cheaper than buying in store. .300 blk is literally twice as much locally as it is online.
Yep, use the online ammo search engines, find vendors that ship free, its out there... I live 2 blocks walking distance from a Sportsman's, 5 min from a Scheels and 30 min for a Cabela's. Sportsman's will price match (not ammo) and their inventory meets my needs, great store...
Jesus those prices are absolutely insane.
I saw $77 in the video for a box of 20 .270 Winchester. Insanity is the right word for it.
Fyi bass pro dropped there 9mm blazer to $14.99
Oh wow! I'll have to go check it out. Thanks!
I have Sportmans Warehouse in my area. Their ammo prices have been high since 2020. Before that they were more competitive. You can find deals on other things. But not ammo. Free in store pick up is nice for online shopping. Promo emails are good too. 👍🇺🇸
I’ll have to sign up for the emails and hopefully not miss a sale. Like I mentioned, I plan to purchase a few firearms from there in the near future
Oh God sportsman warehouse we have one in Tennessee Chattanooga, they'll have everything the eye can see but those prices make you wanna leave
I think it being a new store, they want to show they have it. Just not great prices.
Running about $9.99 in WV for 9mm/50 and 5.56 is running the same for 20 with no taxes.
That armscor 10mm is 25.99 blaze 10mm is 26.99 here in Michigan that blaze 9mm was 1499 but back up to 1699 here in Michigan at RK
Where's a rural king in Michigan
@@chriswood9836 ... heartland at 23&59
@@fluffy10mmjeepguy92 looks like the other side of Pontiac that's only hour away
I saw some 10mm at another place for $26/50 which is the best price I’ve seen in a long time
Sucks for the little guy, sometimes they are paying what the big boys are selling it for. I have seen invoices, they don’t make a hell of a lot. If I am ordering primers or powder, I will get it local at my small shop. When you add the hazmat and shipping fees, I would rather patronize the mom and pop. It will suck when they’re gone.
Quote "it will suck when they are gone"
You sure got that right! I buy stuff that I know I can get cheaper online from my local store just to try and help keep them in business. It's a small shop with good people working there and I know they don't have much of a markup.
I just won't pay that. I ordered online in early 2020 from Palmetto and got cases of 9mm and .223 ball and still have a bunch. Been casting bullets and shooting my revolvers with reloads ( stocked up on primers too ). I have not bought factory pistol ammo beside 9mm ball for years. I got 1,000 primed Lake City .308 cases and a bunch of 30-30 brass as well and shoot cast bullets out of these too. Powder and primers are back in stock and though expensive, still much cheaper to reload.
Sportsman's is always too expensive, nice video!
What is crazy is people will actually pay those prices. I won’t buy any 223/556 unless if it’s under $0.40 a round. I have price points I won’t go over.
I just bought 800 rounds for $398 after tax and delivery from Grabagun. Ordered it yesterday, arrived today at my door. Probably could find it cheaper with more research, but definitely not a bad deal.
9mm ?
@@moreme40 my question, also...
@@moreme40 my bad, forgot to mention that. No it was 5.56
Anything less than 0.50cpr is a good deal nowadays
Folks keep saying ammo prices are gonna drop, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. I buy on sale when I can, but "odd" ammo I buy when I find it. I find 20 guage buck, I buy it. Just one example, but waiting on prices to drop across the board, not happening in our lifetimes.
You're mistaken. The reason prices haven't dropped yet is the manufacturers are still working 24/7 to fill backorders from the pandemic so from their end they haven't seen a drop in sales. What you're seeing now on the shelf is ammo that was ordered 1-2 years ago and is just now hitting shelves. After they work through the backorder and have to deal with much lower orders, prices will drop. It's just a fact of economics and the law of supply & demand.
I agree, don't hold your breath for lower priced. 223 is going for 13.99-16.99 for 20. I take a box I bought, same box, 3.99 a few years ago. Nothing has gone down, at best, it just becomes available. 44mag at $1 a round - why? I used to reload but for the past few years primers were impossible to get. I buy when I can find it, at my price.
@@semlohde1 that's $0.70 a round. I'm paying $0.42 a round already. I'm paying $13 for 50rd boxes of PMC 9mm. Those are regular prices not sales. Prices are already coming down.
Some things are SLOOOOOWLY coming down, but no huge drops which everyone wants to see
Sportsman's is nothing like what it used to be. You've got a lot of stock there because it's a new store. I live near the headquarters and it's nothing like that in the stores around here. The prices are roughly the same for what they have.
Always enjoy the videos
Thanks
They are few dollars more but they have a butt load of ammo at my local store also,if you go just buy a few boxes better have it then not
Sportsman’s prices are way out of control. During the pandemic aside from some sales when discontinuing certain loads of ammo they where the most expensive..
Bummer there is no 9x18mm Makarov There used to be piles of it around old stock for cheap in dusty old boxes a couple of years ago but as the shortage wore on it got all bought up and there isn't more coming any time soon.
Maybe if the Ukie war ever gets over the stockpiles on both sides will eventually get surplussed out but that may take a decade or more to show up in the US.
No wonder they have so much ammo look at the prices
Crazy prices
Same prices here in Central New Yorkistan.
Glad I reload pistol and shotgun.
Got out of 30cal rifles before covid hit because of powder cost and crazy high prices for bullets. I can cast 12 ga buckshot and slugs, cast and plated/coated pistol bullets still pretty good prices. Just primers are stupid high.
You didn't say how much they wanted for 45Colt though.
That's not a lot of ammo...that's a large variety of ammo
I only go to academy for primers and to shoot the crap with the guys at the gun counter. Have a local shop selling ammo from a local ammo company and the company has a retail shop. 20.75 for 9mm 115gr Hornady hollowpoints. They are getting most of my business on ammo
Nice. I wish we had that here
@@andrewmconrad check around. These companies are popping up all over. Also, on their website they sell it at the same prices. Practice 357 sig 124gr flat nose is 23.50 a box. I but it up just for the brass.
@@trashedmechanic1987 damn, that's a fantastic price for 357sig
@@andrewmconrad oh yeah. Academy has the winchester white box for $60 a box. I'm stocking as much as I can
Remington products may drive some of the prices down.
$113 for 20 rounds of 6.5-284!!! Crazy!
I wouldn’t even know what it normally would go for or what that round is even used for
@@andrewmconrad 65-284 started out as a wildcat cartridge with the 284 Winchester case being neck down to 6.5 (.264) caliber. It became popular for f-class shooting and other long-range Target Pursuits. While I have never owned a rifle chambered in this round, I would suspect that factory-made match ammo was always on the high side as it would be employing top-quality bullets, brass, and primers. That being said $114 for 20 rounds is still crazy!
Not gonna enable these prices by buying. Looking somewhere else. Great video👍
...and no 44-40 made in 3 years...partial boxes going for $4/rd on auction sites.
You never looked at Weatherby Ammo. Just hold on to your socks.
I think there is a Sportsmans Warehouse in S.C., near Charleston? So, I hope they put one near Atlanta soon, too. Thanks for the review.
👊🏻 Good prices on firearms too
Man where I live ammo is still SCARCE. Even for a 20 round box of 5.56 they’ll be charging 35.99 for Federal. Prices are crazy.
For real ???
Sheesh those prices tho. I just bought 500 .223 for $210
Ouch. You'd think they would at least try to be competitive with online sellers. Even paying for S&H, there's better deals out there, and that's not even buying full cases.
#facts
It's Sportsman's not Sportsman. It's not owned by Bass Pro / Cabelas and never will be because it would create a monopoly so the FTC blocked it. The good news about the high ammo inventory is it tells us demand at these prices is low which means ammo prices will have to come down eventually according to the law of supply and demand. It's not a matter of if but when prices will drop assuming we don't have another event that triggers a run on ammo.
Yes, when I did the quick search and saw that I didn’t scroll further to see that the deal was aborted. I will probably mix up the two because we have a Sportsman’s Warehouse and a Sportsman Wholesale down here 😂
While you don't go spend 250+ million building and stocking and not try to break even asap .. But yeah they should not try to overnight lol
Let the shelves collect Dust........be well.
I have no plans to buy at those prices
Dayton Ohio gun dhow 556/223 around 50 cents a round great 9mm ball ammo if u bought case guns high though but a lot of stuff and at least ammo was reasonable
Not too bad. I wanted to go to the local gun show recently, but just didn’t have the time. Hopefully soon
31.99 for .270 130gr., I just got a nose bleed.
This is every sportsman warehouse they tax on ammo go to dunham sports
Yea they have a online store as well and the prices are pretty high as well but maybe they will come down as soon as the new wares off
I hope so. I just like the fact that there are more options now
Did they have reloading supplies? When I lived in Colorado, I got most of my gun powder, bullets, and primers for the Colorado Springs Sportsmans Warehouse.
They had a bunch except for powder and primers (which are pretty darn important)
Nice vid. Just got an email today from Academy with Blazer at $14.99. Not bad for what you see them around.
Not a bad deal. I think someone had mentioned something like that about bass pro. Just need to go check it out
They do price match with Midway Usa
Thank you for telling me that. That might come in handy!
LET IT SIT
Oh it did … I’ll be interested to go back in a few days and see what’s moved
thanks for reporting! APPRECITED1
Thanks for watching!
They went belly up once
whit prices like that they will go belly up again
Enjoyed the video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Even if I should ever find myself in Sportsmans Warehouse, doubtful I would be buying ammo. Maybe they are going to have a BOGO sale. LOL!
BOGO sale … Now you’re talking!
Man! They like there shit, i don't think they want to sell anything at those prices.
I need to go back and see if people are buying from there 🤔
Can I take out a mortgage on a box of ammo?
If that's what it takes 😂
Them prices are outrageous. I can get Remington 9 m m FMJ, 100 round box with tax for 29.95. And get this I can get 5.7 x28mm Federal with tax for $35 a box of 50 with tax and everything I seen there I can get a lot cheaper at the gun shops I deal with
I wish I had a local shop like that down here 😢
Store is packed! Sucks that Bass Pro owns all the big players, no competition no good
Wow !!!! Even in California , yes !! Commiefornia prices are way lower than those ..... for people living East of the Continental Divide no , it's not that exaggerated like some gun channels in the tube say it is , we are able to purchase firearms and ammo (with some Unconstitutional restrictions, but we're still in the fight for our rights ) Pray for us 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is what’s happening. I know a dozen online retailers way way cheaper. Do your homework. Some have free shipping. Big box stores all about huge profits. With diesel prices so high a large part of that ammo price is the shipping cost. The retailer don’t want to make less so they pass that on to us. Easy answer pass…. Take that Winchester 7.62x39. Clearly says target ammo. Crazy they even put that out. Expect dust on that one. Things have changed. Online way to go now.
I'm headed back this week to see what's moved and what hasn't. Interested to see what's what
I’m waiting for now
Can’t afford theses prices
Out of curiosity, what are you willing to spend?
I reload since 11 years old and for years and years I’ve reload Ammo for hobby and I was making a killing then
There’s really nothing I need but a few more good years at 72
Damn there high
I hope nobody buys any of that at those prices. Yikes.
Sportsmens Warehouse... guaranteed the most expensive ammo on earth... 😆🤔😭
Almost as high as my local shop 😂
Nice video Andrew
Thanks Rich
But did they have large rifle primers LOL?
I didn’t see any primers 😢
I haven't seen ammo shortage like the pandemic since I can remember so I don't care what they have I'm not paying those
Your glasses look like my goggles
I bought them because of you 😘
I don't shop there anymore the employees are downright idiots and the prices ain't better than anywhere esle
I didn’t really talk to anyone at length to know the difference
Good video of ammo
Thanks for watching
Won’t get any cheaper anytime soon unfortunately with the government contracting to seen millions of rounds to Ukraine
More kayak fishing videos
I definitely plan on making more kayak videos. My goals on the channel is not to be some one dimensional. I’d love to have a few topics that I regularly post about. The ONLY problem with fishing is it’s long day for 1, maybe 2, videos, whereas I can go to the range for 2 hours and get 3 or 4 videos done.
