Frequent discussions are had all over social media, internet forums, and gun shops around the country about ammunition prices and availability. My stance is prices are up, supplies have largely recovered, and they will never return to our previous “normal” levels. The same can be said for steak, gas, and many other items. At one time I was buying aluminum-cased 9mm for less than $9.00 per box and brass-cased for a dollar more. Memories…..nothing more than….memories……
We all know about inflation and supply chain issues. The demand for guns and ammunition has plummeted recently and prices have dropped as well. Best price I’ve seen on brass-cased 9mm over the past couple of years is $289.99 for a case of 1,000 rounds. This works out to be $14.50 for a box of 50. Today – this is a very good price.
A gun without ammo is like a flashlight with no batteries, a grill without steak, and a potato without butter. Just doesn’t make sense.
As prices have come down and availability improves keep stocking up. There’s going to be a point down the road where events transpire that cause ammunition to increase dramatically. I’ll probably still wish I bought more, but, I’ll be glad I got what I did.
