ammo going up?

[big F]

Is it me or have some of you noticed the price of ammunition starting to rise again?

 

[BigTex]

I noticed at walmart last night the AE223 I used to buy for 5.97/box is now 6.97/box.

It's that time of the year, and election cycle... Glad I'm stocked up.. Only thing I need is quality, match grade .308 168 gr or 175 gr...

 

[big F]

At least I'm not going crazy for thinking that. I forgot what time of year it is and what happened 4 years ago.

 

[Driller]

Good to go here. Saw this coming 6 months ago.

Recently purchased 1200 rounds of 9mm in both WWB and Federal Red Box. LEH GO.

 

[pavaloni]

yep its going up 20%

Hmm. I saw this on my phone yesterday and didn't respond. I was going to say no and mention that I'd seen prices falling online cheap enough to where I could finally buy at better prices than Wallyworld (whose prices change but slowly, because I think they buy in mass quantities and only change the prices when they reorder a mass amount under a different price).

Anyways, I was in there yesterday and saw 100 rd boxes of 9mm wwb had gone from 20.97 to either 22.97 or 23.97.
Not a good sign. I may have to buy some .22 conversions for some guns or get that reloading equipment and stock up on components.....

'Our WallyWorld going from $15.47 to $19.97 on the Federal bulk box of 22lr. was a real smack in the nose! One week: good deal; next week: not so much! Oddly, they were at the higher price just a few weeks before. I reckon they got a 'deal' on one shipment and lowered the price like you said; but MY limited merchandising experience says: "Don't do that unless you tie it in to some sort of promo. If it 'shoots' out the door at price 'X', don't lower the price just for the fun of it when you struck a deal of some sort." It's called extra margin...helps pay the rent. As a consumer, of course, I'm happy to pay the lower prices.

Got an email from Grafs earlier today, advising that they're seeing early signs of shortages....stock up, folks - if you shoot a lot, it's gonna git expensive for a while!
