You're absolutely right about prices never going back down. In my area, 38 spl and 45 acp are still almost 50% higher than they were before the whole 2020 mess
Yep, it's a never ending climb.😣
It's pure greed, once they taste the excess profits, they are not going to bring it back down.
Same out here in my part of AZ. I have boxes of 45ACP, same brand and all, with sticker prices ranging from $16 to freakin $28.50! I'm still butthurt about that last price 😔
@@Diemersteinunless sales are down.
To say prices will never come down at all is a bit close minded imo.
@@cheech9283 Same! I shoot a lot of 38 special, and I got used to paying $18/box at my local shop for fmj or lrn. The most I ever had to pay for it in 2021 was $50/box, but it's only gone down to $32/box in my local shop. Incredible!
If you don’t like the price today, your gonna hate it tomorrow.
That's a fact.
This is the most concise and practical observation on the current ammo situation I've come across. It's nice when information being shared is actually useful for practically everyone. Personally I believe, we are smack in the middle of a "cheap" ammo shortage and the actual ammo storage is yet to be seen.
Appreciate that. I sure wouldn't argue with you. I didn't expect this to start until after the first of the year at least. It sure aint gonna get any better between now and the end of next year.
@ToolsandTargets There are two wars wars of concern occurring in Europe and in the Middle East. Tossed into the mix,are inflationary policies,e.g., cranking out greenbacks as if Monopoly Money. So what this boils down to, is escalating prices and moderate to severe shortages for the next couple of years.
So Tools, you are on the mark. Sadly,you are also on the mark, predicting only modest price decreases from record high price, testifying to the Industry greed😢.
Thanks,Tools for the hard labor you put into informative segments,such as Jelly Time.
I feel the same. Just made 3 orders of 1000 rounds of 9mm MHS ammo for 280 shipped each
Similar to all, been working on gathering last two years expecting prices to go up ‘24 (I was expecting a repeat of ‘20), and prices started to go up a couple months early. The plan worked and I did a final purchase (including 2 bricks of 22lr) at slightly increased prices.
$7.99 a box for that PMC 5.56x45 is a great price - the on-line stuff is $.54 a round now - this is a case where your local dealer pricing off of their actual price delivered is an opportunity. We are def in for a severe shortage and price hike. It's started already - the panic buying is driving the immediate situation but long-term, vista being bought by the Czech Billionaire and Lake City ceasing civilian production is going to really affect future availability and cost. Timely video.
Absolutely.😎👊
Sorry to hear you have been sick, no fun. Get well soon and look forward to more videos when you recover!
Appreciate that.😎👊
@@ToolsandTargets coming soon to theaters........"AMMO HUNT: The Movie"!!!!!
120-minutes of bullet-busting action!!!!!!!
👍👍 Sorry to hear you’ve been sick, glad you’re feeling better. Hopefully things won’t be as bad as the last ammo shortage…. But I am better prepared this time. Appreciate all you do tools.
I recently talked to a friend of mine who is a the ammo buyer at Scheels. He indicated that orders for ammo are getting scarce. He can only get very limited items regarding .223 and 5.56. He stated that Lake City plant canceled all the .223/5.56 orders and is channeling all its production to the military. Next will be all the other NATO rounds (.308, 9MM etc). Don't want to panic anyone...but it's gonna hit the fan much like it did several years ago.
Yep. It's just the way it is, sadly.😣
Keep up the great work Brian!!! Wooohooo
Glad to see you back at it, I was hoping you was ok. As of last weekend our ammo stores was good, I haven't checked this week yet, I will be spending time at the bench this weekend. Thanks for keeping us informed, keep getting better brother
Appreciate that, brother.😎👊
It will be years till 556 is available like it was. And like you said the price will never be what we knew. I got M855 till I couldn’t afford my truck payment hardly,I was eating tuna and noodles bro, I was in full famine mode. Now I can rest easy & eat better but it was a month of purchasing.
Don't blame you. People can afford a lot more than they think if they REALLY want to.😎👊
Nice haul buddy!!! I just bought some ammo in NY and had to go through a background check. Took a whole day for the background check to go through. What a pain
Ridiculous!😣
Glad you're feeling better, and have missed your videos. About a month ago I went into a pawn shop and bought one of my bucket list tools, and the ammo that came with it for a smokin deal. Then we had back to back weekends of gun shows before SHTF overseas, and Speer being bought out. The ammo prices were the same VS ordering online and shipping. Picked up some more for the new tool, and some extra for my main load outs. NOW every shop withing 100 miles+ is totally out of 5.56/.223, and no telling when it will come back. One thing that was plentiful was 7.62x39, and good prices on that as well.I hope everyone got as lucky as myself, and can still get their main ammo before all hell breaks loose.
Some folks will try to wait it out and then regret it as usual.😣
@@ToolsandTargets In reality, I just had this "feeling". I'm glad I got in before the panick buying started. At least for now, my new tool shouldn't be affected by any of this.
Hey Tools, glad to hear you're feeling better. Ammo shortages have happened before and they will happen again. Like the old saying goes,"it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.". Stay safe and stay healthy, Brother.👍👍👊
Amen! Thank you sir.😎👊
First of all, I really appreciate what you do for the gun community. The ammo tests, the ammo availability, everything.
About three weeks ago, right before the mess about Lake City Arsenal and Hornady, I had a feeling I should get some more 9mm, 124 gr FMJ. While not ideal, it will go bang and make a hole. Much better than an empty gun. I have plenty of LE JHP but you can never have too much. Think of the book, "One Second After" by William R Forstchen. I found Norma 124 gr FMJ for like $229 per case and ordered it, just to top off my 9mm stash. This past Sunday, with the Czech acquisition fresh, a friend was looking to top off their 9mm. I looked where I had bought the Norma a couple of weeks earlier.
When I bought the 1K case, it was $229. With shipping, tax, and other stuff it was $289 total for me. This past Sunday, it was now $319 for the 1K case, BEFORE taxes, shipping, etc. Oh, and the worst part, it was that price IF it had been available. It was now no longer available from that business.
I knew we would see another shortage by Nov, 2024, but had hoped it would not kick in before July or August of 2024. I don't expect this to improve much before late November of 2024, IF then. 😢
Tool went from buying 3 boxes “maintenance ammo” to “full send” 3 boxes of 1k rounds 😂.
I can picture someone typing away “don’t panic buy”
I am agree 110% with what you said regarding the pre and post pricing after the madness.
And yes avg range trip count for me is about 250 rounds, that big case only last 4 trips.
Nice score over all Tools.
😂😂😂 I never said what size boxes!🤣 Appreciate ya, brother.
Nice finds for the week Tools! Our local shop had decent handgun ammo selection and respectable prices today. Lots of 556 but the prices are going up. Thanks for the video!
As a kid I remember seeing little 50 round count boxes of 22LR for 59 cents a piece. I don't know if it's inflation, non-stop threats against the right to bear arms or if its supply chain shortages but I think you are correct I do not believe the prices we see today will be the prices you'll see tomorrow or ever again.
My local shop, big buyer, said he had 4 pallets 5.56 coming in, but none after that available.
Great and straight to the point video. The info you’re sharing is consistent with the info I’ve been hearing. Continue to get better, sir.
Appreciate that.😎👊
That Underwood free shipping mess has got me buried in 380+P, 9mm+P, all sorts of 10mm, and Controlled Chaos in 6.5 Grendel, 300AAC and 308. Also a bunch of 44mag, 45Super and 460 Rowland. I gotta stop opening their emails
Same, i just ordered a bunch of extreme defender 380 and 158 grain 357 😂
Glad you're feeling better I hate being sick! Nice scores! I was already planning on replenishing some of my stash before the crazy talk started. I won't get caught emptyhanded again ever!! Main thing I need is more 22LR and will plan on getting more 9 and 357, and 12ga slugs and buckshot! lol that's not much hahaha! BE well and thanks for sharing! Have a good one brother 💥💥
I 100% agree with you and I did the same thing!! Getting more today! Hope you feel better.
You're right it will never be that cheap again. That's why I've been stock piling. So, at least if it gets hard to get, I can still do my plinking and still have my ammo in case shtf. I got a few boxes of that 410 at Walmart Monday $14.86 + tax. As always, I appreciate all that you do keep the videos coming 👍.
I think that's what the .410 was at this one too. I figure when the 5.56 comes back down from this "shortage" it'll land at least a dollar per box more. Possibly two.
Been stocking since I turned 18!…so about 2 years ago😭we’re working on it, but I can’t lie and say these things don’t make me a little anxious and less likely to go to the range. We’ll get there.
Get well soon Tools! I got so sick last week, some bug going around. Nice haul! Got some accessories this week, that's it. Keep on rockin!
Appreciate that, brother.😎👊
Good information in this video. That 8.99 for 5.56 sounds really good. My local shop had regular PMC fmj for 12.99 a box last week. I dont even want to know what it's at now lol.
Appreciate your videos as always.
Cheers
Thank you sir.😎👊
Same here in Jersey
Thank you for the Ammo videos Tools.
I checked the local big box yesterday and still has a decent amount of 9 at $15.99 and buck a round .223, they are always a ripoff. Regional chain outlet has blazer 9 for $11.99 so not a panic shortage in SW WA yet.
200~300rds a week?! Dayum Tools! 😳
I average about 25rds/week! 😄
But then, at the range, it's pistols one week, rifles the next, then shotguns. I shoot more 22LR than anything else.
I'm an AR fanatic.😆
I really enjoy these ammo update videos. I wish I had your ammo budget!
Appreciate ya, brother!😎👊
Interesting ammo find Tools. Glad you're feeling better. Can't argue with your view point that ammo is going to start getting scarce as far as some calibers go. And the price is NOT going to go down. Rumors say Lake City has been told to stop civilian sales and now the big boys are being sold to an over seas interest.
Have a great weekend and stay healthy.
Be vigilant and always be safe my friend.
Thank you sir. Hope it doesn't get too ugly.😆
It's great to see your sub's rising, as your channel is very good, I always look forward to a new one coming out, well done from over the pond here in the UK.
Can’t wait to see that 41mag test it’s always been a really interesting round to me
😎👊
Thanks man, love your videos. My FFL today said that defensive ammo is hard to get. You see that? I'm in the SF Bay Area.
Sometimes, we just go out to the outhouse and end up falling in.
Hey tools the 556 ammo here in south Louisiana is plentiful and prices haven’t went up at all. My local store says they have plenty of all caliber ammo at great prices as well.
I would like to see that controlled chaos it's a highly touted round
Was out Thursday buying ammo. Mostly maintenance ammo, but finally found Hornady FTX for 45 Colt I have been searching for..
Wish I could find prices as good as your LGS. We aren't hurting for ammo here, just prices suck. The only thing I haven't found locally in a long time is 303 Brit.
As far as the situation 100% agreed. Good pick ups. Looking forward to the Underwood .380ACP, .41 mag, and the .223. You hit the nail on the head when you said the ammo was $5.99 before then it came back to as low as $7.99 and that goes for anything. They don’t need an excuse anymore it’s do whatever they want and the normal consumer takes the price beating every time. Anyway good stuff, be safe, glad you are feeling better. 👊⭐️⭐️👊🇺🇸
Appreciate ya, brother!😎👊
I totally Agree with your assessment of an impending shortage. I've been buying cases of every caliber I need, which has my wife wondering. There are too many problems in the World. Any one of them can cause shortages of just about anything and everything. Thanks for confirming what I saw coming on the horizon.
I don't know DoubleTap very well. I have shot some of their ammo before. I think it was their 10mm about maybe 20 years ago? It was unremarkable, in that I can't remember it well.
I've noticed with some manufacturers, and I can't remember who, change their projectiles, but keep the same bullet weight. To some, a JHP is a JHP. Maybe 35 years ago, that was true. Back then, none of them worked. So, maybe that's what happened with the one box of DoubleTap you have.
I'll buy some more of the Underwood 150gr & 180gr ASP ammo on sale. I only have about 500 rounds left of the 150gr anyway. The Nosler ASP design doesn't seem to hold up as well as the Hornady XTP, but the XTPs are not on sale. I get their Veterans Discount, but the difference in cost doesn't make up for what I have in my budget.
Have a good week and I hope you feel better, Brother.
Wow, wish I had your ammo shop around here. You are getting better prices than I've seen anywhere. Not just now but in the last couple years.
Yeah, we are lucky to have this place.😎👍
Awesome take! I wish Underwood was still making the 125 Grain Gold Dot 357 Sig ammo. I only have a few boxes.
I have to concur on the 5.56 purchase, you made a wise choice.
Glad you're feeling better Good thing you picked up 3 cases of 556 for that price and 9mm Looking forward to future range videos Have a great weekend Brian
Thank you sir. Appreciate that.😎👊
@@ToolsandTargets Your welcome sir 😎👊
I have the Doubletap controlled expansion 200 grain ammunition. They are the exact same as you show in your video for the 200. Mine aren't nickel plated, and with the rating of 1250 FPS at 200 grain, I chrono'd it out at 1270 through my M&P with the 4.6 inch barrel, but I will note that it was warm out that day, around 90 F. Funny enough, and you can compare to yours, the 200 CEs are in Starline cases not in Doubletap-headstamped cases.
Lol. I love the rant with the "bless yer heart" in the middle of it. Sometimes thats the best you can say to these people.
Some folks need it!😆
Oh no! There ain't no way I can afford to go buy a bunch of ammo right now! At least my wife won't think so. And I'm getting low too! Dang, here we go again!
I Love your bluntness and honesty about this ammo situation tools. yes ive stopped standing in line and panic buying a good while ago, but since this is coming back again i started buying a small box or 2 every pay day. you are Very lucky where you at tools cuz those x tacs in my area cost 18 dollars per box, so keep on buying them!
i hope you feel better tools. being sick is no fun.
Appreciate that, brother.😎👊
Xtac 55g and 62g 5.56 are $12.99 local and then they have at least 2-3 boxes of 500 I saw today but for $600 😢
Or wait, boxes of 1000? Idfk long day. Whichever one makes sense it what it was hah
@@contractor556 I can only afford the wimpy lil 20 round boxes at a time lol. The premium self defense rounds in 223 are like around 30 to 50 bucks a box of 20 so I rarely buy even that 😂
@@darkstarninja5978no need! 55g ball is perfect for self defense
nice ammo update, keep making these and keep us updated
My area, standard ball in all the usuals, 9, 7.62, 45, 5.56, 308, are a little short, as well as the budget side of defensives, but higher price defensive and hunting loads, match loads, and non-preppish calibers are all fine. I'd call 9 wobbly, but it only gets into charmin territory if people go nuts.
😎👊
Great ammo hunt video Tools can’t never have to much ammo 😎Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸
I wish I had a shop like that 2nd place, everyone has ammo locked up and primers are nonexistent
Bass pro in Tacoma, WA had hundreds of boxes of 9mm on their shelves last week. They had a hand full of HPs yesterday. Cheapest .223 in stock is $15 per 20. Lots of other calibers seriously depleted. Saw 1 box of 12 gauge 00 buck and no slugs in stock.
😣
I don’t know where you are, but in Kentucky, the supplies are dwindling already. No 556 to be had at Academy Sports, and they did have plenty.😞
Dont forget the toilet paper. 🧻🧻🧻🧻
It's fall. There Are plenty of leaves.
Toilet paper is out of fashion buy bath cloths and wash them it last 4 ever
@@ToolsandTargets 🍃🍂🍃 🚽🪠😮
Pump sprayer bidet !
my area local shops price gouging a lot, but big box stores have good deals but have to deal with crowds and wait times are long.
😣
I'm glad you're ok brother. I think you do the right thing getting as much ammo whenever you can. You might not need it now but eventually you will. I've hard that some ammo plant, I might get the name wrong but i think it's called lake city plant known for filling both gov and civilian orders has been told to shut down their civilian lines and only make for the gov so that indeed suggests a looming shortage
Yessir, it's true. It isn't even panic buying at this point. It's just plain common sense for anyone who does a lot of shooting.
@@ToolsandTargets I have to admit I'm a bit envious that you have a nice range set up in your back yard lol. In my neck of the woods here in NE Ohio unless one is a member of a club or conservation league it's tough to find a place to shoot. Si I have to drive nearly 30 miles to the one place I have permission to shoot and being on a small fixed income I can only afford the gas to do that once a month.I like to get 2 50 rounds boxes of 9mm, shoot up one box and hold the other back to slowly build up my supply. At the very least That way I can keep myself proficient at 7 yards and under. As far as the long range pistol shots you do here I'm just not there yet lol
Great scores and great information. Does your shop ship out of state or have an online website?
My local shop up here in Ohio said they can't get 5.56 there distributors don't have it but 9 is still about the same 11to12 bucks a box.
I'm
Yep, gonna be a couple months before mine can get more.
Lmfao!😂. “Bless your heart “. I love it!! But oh so true. Lol. Beautiful ammo score this week. I can wait to see that .41 magnum testing. My 629 will be here Monday. I took advantage of Underwood’s sale too. Good testing ahead 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice! The bad thing about the Underwood sale is as soon as I had checked out, I remembered more stuff I wanted from there.😆
@@ToolsandTargets …. Yup! Same here so now I have an excuse to order more. I can always justify buying more 😂
I have some older Doubletap ammo in 10mm, probably from around 2018. All of my bonded bullet's are definitely Gold Dot's. All the controlled expansion are definitely Nosler's. Most of the ammo is brass cases in 50 round boxes. Some are nickel cases, but those are the 20 round boxes. I prefer nickel for a carry round, but it's the projectile that does the work. I am very curious to see how this newer ammo performs in the Jelly Test's. Hopefully the velocities are true.
😎👊
I've been scrounging around for loaded ammo in my main calibers, mainly for the brass and to try a few different factory loads...there is no one stop shop though. I think I've hit 5-6 different places not counting Federal and Remington direct. Slugs, 00 buck, 30-30, 45-70 and 45 Auto mostly. Components are really scarce right now. Especially primers and bullets.
I'm curious to see how long it takes the primers at my local shop to dwindle.
I agree prices are not going to be going down. I am friendly with a couple of firearms dealers and they advise to be stockpiling ammo now. After Thanksgiving or Christmas prices will probably go up again.
Thanks for your videos and all you do. I look forward every week to your newest videos.
Thank you sir. Appreciate that.😎👊
That stores ammo shelves looks like the same gun store I go to. 2 weeks ago they had 9mm blazer brass for $9.99
Nice score this wk and i dont blame you one bit on buying 223 at that price Tools!! And i agree we won't see it that low again, least not for a long time! Definitely interested in that controlled chaos round to see how it performs. Also i looked when you were at your local shop , least what was shown they only had the hornady 223 vmax, never seen those down here, only the fmj and sp's. I only mentioned it because i asked you about how you thought those would perform in their soft point offering or if you had ever tried them. Gotta say that store looks awesome! Hope the cold is past you and look forward to next upload.
Thank you sir. I'll have to remember to pay attention to that when I go back in.
Big score, looking forward to some tests, THX Brian. 👍🇺🇸 get better soon.
Thank you sir. Appreciate that.😎👊
I had to hunt pretty hard to get some 9mm FMJ at a reasonable price for the shop where I work. We're trying to keep prices reasonable for our customers, but our costs are going up, which means that their prices are going to go up, too.
Yeah, the guys at my local shop are very transparent with me on costs and their ordering, so I know what you mean. It's guaranteed.
Glad you're feeling better. About time for a live chat don't you think? Let's talk about this ammo crap. I've been stocking up on 5.56 all year long. I don't buy a bunch. A few boxes every pay day. Prices have been good. If I find a nice price on something I'll grab a few boxes. 9mm is holding and in stock around here. You're right about big box store letting their shelve run dry. On week nothing, the next week shelves are loaded up. Folks see empty shelves and they are all like, oh, it's the ammo shortage. Looking forward to that double tap and underwood.
Thank you sir. Definitely need to do a live soon. I got tons of stuff I wanna say and can never get it all into a video.😆
Tools does the best lives - dude gets me rollin!
I still have ammo from before the Sandy Hook days and have continuously bought ammo since then. I still have boxes of 223 I bought for $6 at Walmart back in the days. When Xtac greentips started to surpass $10, I stocked up on that. When Tula 7.62 surpassed $5 a box, I loaded up on that. People have to plan ahead and stop wasting ammo at the range also. I dont go to the range and blow 500 rds on paper targets like I used to.
"Wasting" ammo is what people say who are too cheap to buy more and have fun.
Nice video, I agree with you, money is tight being in college and all, but I always put them inside the money for one box of 556 a week. That way, I always have some thing, the way I look at it some thing is better than nothing.
I wish I had local stores stocked like this. We don't have too many and those that do only got a few boxes or none at all.
White box 7.62x51 is 25.00(!!!!!!!!!!) at Dunhams!!! To heck with that! On the other hand, they had minimags 2 for 20.00! I couldn’t pass it up even though I’m pretty well stocked.
You are correct about prices. Time to buy was about 4-5 months ago. That was the bottom of the market for 5.56/223.
Yep
Also smart move on the PMC, excellent 5.56 ammo, true m193 spec. small arms case is legit stuff.
The 556/223 at my local Cabela's has basically no 556/223. Itt been going this week. No bulk 556/223. People are cleaning the shelves..
It's good to see your on the mend. I picked up a single shot 20 ha last weekend. I went to my Wally World and they only had one box of 20ga. I spent some time online looking for the best price. Like you I just kept going until I got the free shipping😅.
Thank you sir.😎👊
“SCAMDEMIC” 😂 This is why we love Tools!
In my neck of the woods ammo prices are crazy !! American Eagle 45 acp 50 in the box $56
I work at a huge gun store. We have almost no 357 Sig. We have a few boxes of Hornady Critical Duty. Thats it. We get the American Eagle. I'm not interested in that stuff at $60 for 50 rounds of low powered FMJ.
Nice ammo haul for the week. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you sir.😎👊
Cabelas in pa is sold out of 223/556. 500rd bulk pack of herters 9mm sold out…. Still a lot of 100rd packs.
Not everyone has a local store near them. My local store charges a lot more than what the big box stores around me charge.
The Czech Defense Company that bought Vista Outdoors also bought Fiocchi last year. I read that the CEO/Owner is a 27 year old billionaire.
I'm not a big fan of Double Tap. I've found their cartridge assembly is sub par. The 9mm +p+ that I have has bad bullet set back. Even after chambering only once.
Good Gets, Hope you get to feeling better. Good on ya 😉
I was told today by a local retailer that 5.56 bulk stuff will be one to two dollars a round before long if you can find it. I am in Knoxville Tenn.
Yep. People are clueless thinking they can stop it by "not buying."
@@ToolsandTargetsnever understood that attitude. “It wouldn’t if we just stopped buying it during panic” … well clearly you don’t know human psychology. Will never happen. Buy what you can when you can! For as cheap as you can!
Sorry you were sick. We’ve had it here, too. Been years since I’ve been sick but it finally found me! Looking forward to the 9mm +p+ test!
Appreciate that. The wife brought it home and got me with it.😣
@@ToolsandTargets same here! Wives! They actually had to close where she works they had so many sick. The Rona.
I live in Richmond VA and the Walmarts around me don't carry handgun ammo for the past few years I thought they were just always out but I looked a little closer and they don't even have stocking stickers where the ammo could be displayed so I asked the employee in the sporting section what's up with the pistol ammo he said ever since the ammo shortage they never restocked any and he hasn't heard anything about ever restocking in the future. Now if I want to get ammo I have to drive 30 to 45 minutes to green top I love that place or do what I do most of the time and order online witch is only good if I am buying 1000 rounds or more. I miss the good old days when Walmart had ammo and ammo was cheaper $ 9 for a box of 50 9mm FMJ's.
Town Gun has a store in Richmond too. Wal Marts company wide stopped selling handgun and scary rifle ammo calibers back in 2019.
Where do you order from and get lower shipping costs ?
Thank You!
You should constantly be adding, even if in small amounts. Can't train without regular infusion of ammo, and can't own and carry conscientiously and responsibly without regular training.
I was sick with some stomach bug but felt well enough to go Bass Pro for some 9 mm and .38 spl
I'd carry around a barf bag if I needed ammo bad enough!😆
Nice video Tools glad to hear you're feeling better .
I haven't shot those particular DoubleTap loads but there discontinued 165 grain stuff is REALLY hot it's moving like 1425 out of a 5" barrel and you can feel the difference when you shoot it lol I think the double tap should perform well even if it is the wrong projectiles because I thought the controlled expansion was XTP projectiles.. I'm looking forward to seeing those 10mm tests though
😎👊
Looks like we got some great tests coming up.👍 Glad I got plenty of ammo, but I sure wish I had a lot more🤷♂....
Should be some interesting stuff.😎👊
My LGSs have never had $7.99 pricing on 223/556. I always have to wait for the big regional Gun Show to get that kind of deal ($400/case cash out the door).
But the next Gun Show is not for 3 more weeks. 😒
I'm sure prices will higher but how much?
I've been buying cases of one caliber or another for a while now so I'm not that concerned about the short term. Just may reduce my range time.
The gun shows will probably be the worst offenders with the price gouging again.😣
Good stuff Tools, good haul and I agree with what you're saying about people fooling themselves about ammo dropping any more than it has. And WOOHOO! You got that Underwood "+P" XTP ammo I carry and I know I've annoyed the sh*t out of you asking about. Doubt it'll be a world-beater but I'll be surprised if it doesn't do some damage.
Hopefully it's good stuff.😎👊
Thx for your work 👍🎯 hope you're feeling better 🤧
My local shops still has good deals on basics like 5.56 and 9mm, people still buying like crazy though. Im good on ammo, need more cigars though lol
😂😂😂
iv been seeing a trend at PSA with 5.56 but 9mm price there haven't changed but a place right down the road from me I do a lot of business at is selling cases of pmc xtac for $489 a case
I was at the gun store I bought my last gun at and the shelves were packed with ammo. No one seems to be worried about an ammo shortage here.
You still have some great prices near you. I been keeping to the smaller companies and lucky to get some good deals. 9mm for 22 cents and 22lr for 4 cents
Glad your back in the saddle ! Lil bit o mini rant...lol. we just picked up wifes new tool yesterday and have to wait til next week to buy stuff to feed it...yay
Thank you sir.😎👊
