Good news for 5.56. Still waiting for this to happen to 9mm. Barring any weird news events, I expect 9mm to become more readily available and cheaper in the next couple of months.
They have a right to charge whatever they want, but being the first to charge the highest is no way to win over customers.
I ave not seen 9mm rounds/reloading brass or bullets for over 2 months in my world.
I’ve got enough stock, that I was tempted to sell some when it was above 90 cents/rd.
Problem was, I couldn’t figure a safe way to advertise for just one transaction of 1000 rounds.
$650 per thousand....is a good deal ?
$350 per thousand used to be considered pricey.
I suspect now that Congress has told DHS they can’t buy 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo to kill us all 5 times over, the price of ammunition is finally gonna drop. Who knows, all the “hoarders” may get bit in the ass and have to sell at a loss once ammunition floods the market...
I visited Adventure Outdoors this morning (one of the big Atlanta Area dealers Bloomberg sued). They had pallets of 9mm and .45 Auto. They had stock of other calibers on the shelves. One box limits on most still. The place looked like a ghost town compared to the last three months. So hopefully the panic has subsided. With copper and lead commodity prices falling maybe ammo prices will become affordable soon.
