The last case of 9mm I got was $35.65 per box of 50, delivered, including our usurious state sales tax. Compare this to the "too high" case I bought not too many weeks ago for $27.80 per box of 50. I buy these cases when I find the best deal I can find at that point in time, and keep the ammo so my shooting buddies can buy it from me at what I paid. I have more time to hunt and search than they do and I don't mind short term storing it for them.
I have not found any .380 at prices any of us will pay for months. My two shooting buddies have 9mm guns plus .22 and .380. I only have .22 and .380. I still have a half way decent supply of .22 which is good because I see it going for 30 to 40 cents per found, when a year ago it was 4 cents per round, up to 12 cents for CCI mini mags.
We asked the cost of ammo at the indoor range when our group went to shoot this past Sunday. Their 9mm was $44 a box of 50 and their .380 was $66 per box of 50 those prices included the almost 10% sales tax. No one bought any that day. d
For Gramps and me: Our personal stash should be enough to get us through maybe 2 years if we are judicious about how we use it. I've cut way, way back on how much I shoot each time, but still get some good skills practice in. Might have to cut back to using only 5 rounds per session and only going once a month because I really do believe "they" have figured that the way to disarm America is to disappear the ammo for sale.
