Academy ammo

I’ve been thinking they might lower their prices. Lots of ammo sitting for weeks.

That is a good thing and we need to hold back unless we really need it.

I haven't bought any factory ammo since April of 2019 when I bought a .410 shotgun except for a 325 pack of AutoMatch I bought to replace one I shot up and some nearly free 22WMR from Walmart.

There’s no reason why it needs to be so high. It’s double what it was in early 2020 for every caliber. Also, there is no volume discount or price difference between brands like there used to be. A box of 100 (pick a caliber) is exactly twice the price of a box of 50, whereas it used to be less that twice the price.

I think folks are wising up. Logic says that with the Ukraine fiasco going on, the shelves should be bare of Russian ammo. It’s not. There must have been 15 spam cans on the shelf yesterday with at least 100 boxes of the smaller count 7.62

I stopped buying ammo from the same time period as yourself as I still have my Y2k and Obama election stock in regards to 9mm, 223, 40, 45, 308 and 3006. the only ammo I am buying now is shotgun shells and that is for my daughter shotgun team. We use their club buying benefits to buy bulk with club paying a portion so I am not paying these ridiculous prices at Academy or other rip off outlets.

Got 4 boxes of Winchester 2 1/2" 9shot .410 at Academy just now.
Nothing on the shelf, a friend that works there went in the back and came out with a case.
Wahooo!!
$13.99 a box

I don't have a .44 Special but I've always wanted a S&W 296. The recent availability of cases of that ammo had me seriously considering buying ammo for a gun I don't have. Thankfully, the temptation is fading.

Ouch! I thought I paid a lot when I got some 5.7x28. Old .50 BMG prices.

 

[1911'S 4 Me]

What were the prices of .45/70 a couple of years ago?
Inquiring mind wants to know.

 

[Moonpie]

.45-70 ammo has always been higher than hell.

Boulderdash. I shoot T-Rex killer Barnes TSX rounds for about $1.25 a trigger pull.

 

[skfullgun]

I have held off buying ammo in the hopes that it will go down, but I have slipped up a few times.
