Academy ammo

[toddnjoyce]

I tend to agree. Demand will have to continue dropping before prices will drop and even then I think with increased input costs for final goods we're going to see higher prices. Ammo inflation this time is probably permanent.

All inflations is permanent, the question is to what degree the inflation is. An 8% y-o-y increase on $1 is $1.08 in y1 and $1.17 in y2. Do the cumulative inflationary costs result in a 200% price increase? That remains to be seen.

I think 8% is a conservative estimate

Holy Shit!!! That’s $3 a round. But at least they have some on the shelf. Never tried the precision hunter in PRC before.

This is the reason why I passed on the 6.5 and stuck with 308

That’s 6.5 PRC, different round than Creedmoor.

308 is still way cheaper than both

I can load 6.5cm for around 70 cents a round.

They had a bunch of 6.5cm there too. Most ive seen on shelves in a long time. Nosler, sig, hornady and winchester

Just an email, No more limits on ammo purchases. Must be enough of it sitting on the shelves.

The Academy I was in last Saturday did not have a good selection of rifle ammo. Lots of dove loads though.

Not surprised. The ammo shelf was as full as I have seen it in 3 years. Like, completely full. High prices, but lots of it including most common rifle calibers.

It's the high prices why it's still there. I only buy sub sonics when I see them. Everything else just hurts

Federal 158grn JSP @ $32.99 per 50rd box.
They had some R-P also @ $49.99 per 50rd box.

If I want to be raped, I'll go to a gun show. Academy and those at the gun shows can keep their over priced ammo.
I haven't bought any this year and won't until prices drop.

 

[Grumps21]

Range USA I’m finding has pretty good pricing.

I happen to have a stash of 10mm brass. I picked up all I could find when you let me shoot your guns. I was going to reload it - eventually - for repayment. LOL. I pick up anything brass colored and shiny at the range - until the RO's yell at me. #noshame. Got no .40 cal bullets though. Xtreme had a 15% off last week though and I bought 500 240g heavy plated bullets. Time to make some more .44 mag and .44 special loads. I'll step up the specials next time for you so they're not just mouse-fart loads.
