I have not been buying much ammo in the last year. Before that I was stocking up when I could and getting fair prices etc. I was also loading up on .22LR. I have bricks of the stuff plus many small boxes of specialty ammo.
Federal, Blazer, CCI, Remington to name a few.
Now here is the weird part, a friend who is now in Virginia called and asked if I would be willing to part with a few for $50 pe 500/550 box. I thought he was nuts but brushed it off. Now I read that those bricks are $50-75 a box!!
Is this real? Is this a fad (I think it will come back soon)?
Well I wanted to get a LCR in .22LR. I figured about $450 for the pistol. That is just 9 boxes of .22 for a trade/sell. Now I am not so sure as maybe I should just hang on to it just in case, I mean that is why I bought it and I was pissed paying $20 per 500. I knew .22LR was the most useful ammo in times of need and that is why I bought so much.
What about 9mm? I paid $10-12 per 50, 45ACP $15 per 50, .223 $4 per 20, .44Mag $34 per 50.
What is really going on here? I have not bought for 6 months at least. What happened? Is this something to do with the 1.5Billion round purchase by HS?
Really is .22LR hard to get? Why? Does anyone know why?
