Yes - others have said the same but I guess we'll see. But however it goes (and I hope for the best but that hasn't helped much lately) - one thing with the group buy, it's an "in" to a supply line that many others will not be able to access.

ATK was going up 12% or 14% IIRC in July. They changed it to June a few weeks back. There was another company doing the same but I don't remember.

lets not cry wolf. Supply and demand will dictate the price. Manufacturers raising prices to cover raw material increase are not what has got us in to crazy territory. It will get back to normal. Just do not contribute to the non-sense and things will be fine soon.

Atlanta Arms makes that claim with their:

"Elite Ammo - 9mm 115GR FMJ Match AMU
This ammunition is designed for extreme accuracy at 50 yards.

This ammo is used by the Army Marksmanship Unit and the Marine Service Pistol team for service pistol matches.

Accuracy test requirement: 5 ten-shot groups at 50 yards with an average group size not to exceed 1.5 inches."

100 Round Box - 9mm Luger Winchester FMJ 115 grain Value Pack Ammo - USA9MMVP - Limit 3
$69.95

Just bought 10 boxes of CCI Maxi Mag .22 WMR ammo for $16.50/box

It's coming down all right.

Was T Cabelas in Scarborough Maine today. After the morning rush. T
They had 500 rounds of 9mm Winchester for $154.
Lots of other ammo. I was looking for primers none found.

Mills Fleet and Farm-50 round box of Remington 9mm 124 gr FMJ for $17.99. They had 2 boxes left, and I got one. One box per customer.

I subscribe to several ammo dealers email distro and noticed lately they've been sending out weekly or even twice weekly emails with lots more product in stock and not just weird oddball stuff or some corrosive old Soviet bullshit dug up from a warehouse in Siberia.

Prices aren't great but they DO seem to be slowly coming down and more and more ammo in recognizable calibers and by mainstream manufacturers are showing up.

It would appear that supply is FINALLY starting to catch up with demand.

Supply seems to be coming back slowly. The question is, when do these companies stop price gouging? It will likely take a while for ammo to sit on someone's store shelf before that happens. At the current 2A alarm level, that could be quite some time.

My son in Rapid City, SD (Air Force) bought the limit of 10 boxes/20 rounds Tulammo .223 (steel case) at $9.99 each today. The store was Scheel's, and he said they sold out quickly.

Ammoseek showing GECO TMJ brass cased 115gn 9mm for 48.6 cents per round today. Prices are coming down.

CCI and Federal increased the prices on their web pages over the weekend.

CCI increased 22 lr by $1 per box (both 50 rd & 100 rd up by a $1).

Federal increased their 9mm fmj by $2 per 50 rd box.

Yep. Expect .27-.30 cents to be the bottom with the raw material price increases.

Sounds good to me. I'll buy multiple cases when we hit the 30s. Won't get down to 20 cents again I imagine, but 30s are close enough.

Sold well over 15,000 rounds of 5.56, and a bunch of 9mm and .45 for well over what I paid but well bellow current cost earlier in the year. Literally I would form an ad, hit post, and have whatever I was selling sold pending $ within 5 min. Last sale was some old mil. .308 that I was asking for .70/cents. When I'd started selling ammo it was at $1.00 a round and up for steel cased, and this was brass. But it didn't sell right away. Looked it up on ammoseek and the price was down to what I was asking.

Good to see prices down and supply should keep going up. The reminder that Para tossed out couple years back holds up though, stock up again when prices go down, this won't be the last panic.

I just picked up four boxes - 50 round boxes - Blaser Brass 9mm FMJ - for $17.99/box at Academy in Vally Ranch TX - NE of Houston. Last week the same store had WWB Nato 124 for $24/box.

They had about 4k of various 9mm FMJs and a good amount of 5.56 and 7.62x39. If you hit Academy mid week in the AM you can regularly find ammo at near pre-Covid prices.

9mm Remington FMJ brass cased .40 cents a round

more 9mm brass-cased at 40 cents/round

I Have not found any ammo prices to return to normal. It seems the best prices are now twice the price of normal and some places selling 3-4 times the price of what was normal.

I have stopped shooting due to ammo prices and because I have not set my reloading equipment back up yet. I have always never shot unless I can replace my ammo stock with what I shoot. I prefer to keep the ammo I have. I hope to wait this out and prices come down.
