Title: Ammo prices
Post by: Seraphim on October 15, 2006, 10:42:16 PM

Everyone complains about gas prices, here's my gripe about ammo prices.
Not too long ago, I asked around for low prices on 7.62x39, and today after coming home from the range, I couldn't believe how ridiculous the prices are. I checked online, the lowest I could find (for copper jacket) was $199 a case (good LOrd thas espensive!), which is about 4 bucks per 20.
2 weeks ago, our range was selling at about 3.70. Good deal, right? Well, this week, they jumped it up to 6.70...........
Of course, this after I asked for 5 boxes & took my wallet out.

I guess 199 doesn't look so bad anymore.....

grrr

Supply is drying up.  All the stockpiles from the Soviet Union collapsing are being burned up.

what we need is a balls-to-the-wall war, north korea seems a likely choice, but then again, those samoans have been pissin me off lately.

They don't look to have too bad of prices.  .22LR is still much cheaper though.;)

Yup, surplus ammo on some calibers is drying up quickly, and the cost of ammo components is rising very fast.
