9mm ammo going up?!

[aaron580]

Ok so I was just in a gun shop and looked at their 9mm on the shelf and it said 19.99. I asked if that was an error? He said no 9mm is going up in price now. Has anybody else seen this or is this shop just crazy?

 

[Osobuco]

from what i have seen ALL ammo is going up.

Yep, pre Christmas sale PSA had Blazer Brass 9.99 on sale, now 11.99 on sale. Which isn't horrible until you look @ % increase in <1 month

This was for federal estate that was about 12-13$ last week and its up to 20. I just got some mag tech for 12 a box.

Just bought 5 boxes of Tula for $9.99 a box same as last month and the month before that. Still seeing Federal Champion 100 round bulk pack price tags at Walmart for $19.99 although they are out like always.

Every Walmart I've ever been into in ECI. I did get the last 5 boxes though 2 from one store and 3 from another. Gotta get them while you can right now. I try to buy as many boxes as I can afford to every time I go in there which is kind of rare these days. I just happen to have to go to 2 different ones in 2 days and they both had some surprisingly.

9mm is almost completely gone at the walmarts around here - cheapest junk only (even worse than WWB ). Big R almost wiped out too. Found a box of Remington 115 mc for $34 at the Walmart in Plymouth - DID not buy.

I still wonder (see my other thread) if 9mm and 223 will be the hardest to find during this storm...

I have noticed 9mm jumping up in price and out of stock also.

this. the places i usually get my ammo is either out of stock now or has upped their price 5-10 bucks.

i have seen that 9mm is going up across the board everywhere. gun shops, walmart, online. you name it. depends on the seller, but seen it 50 cents above regular price all teh way up to 9 or 10 dollars above regular price

im glad I dont have to worry about the prices of factory ammo. I cast and reload my own 9mms. very cheap for me...

I have noticed that. I go out to the garage and my reloads are still the same price.

Cabelas had all kinds of 9mm this morning. $15 a box. Guess my 9mm friends won't be able to say much about me spending a little extra on 40 for to much longer. I bought some on sale at 18 a box. 9mm is catching up.

Just ordered 500 rds of Fiocchi for $126 shipping included.

Unfortunately, the price probably won't go down for quite a while. Ammunition manufacturers are seeing that even with higher prices demand is still overwhelming. Simple economics - supply and demand. The demand is there, so they (and retailers) will simply continue raising prices until demand meets supply. Unless something happens to change the buying frenzy and stores start sitting on piles of ammo inventory don't expect the price to go down. I don't expect stores to be sitting on inventory for quite some time.

When it was on the shelf the price seemed about a dollar more then what it had been when I bought it a month before. The buying frenzy doesn't help things either

Walmart has been out.

Rural King had some yesterday for 15.99 for a box of 50, gone today.

Gander Mountain had three different selections.

100 for 39.99
350 for 99.99
750 for 230.

That's interesting. I bought 4 boxes of Blazers, all brass, for $12 each.
