Ammo prices on the rise, or is it just Academy?

[Greg_TX]

I've gone to Academy often to buy target ammo for my .40, usually either the 100 rd. WWB for $34.99 or the 50 rd. box of same for $17.99. I went to the Willowbrook location a couple of days ago and found that the 100 rd. box was now $36.99 and $19.99 for the box of 50. Is it just them, or are prices edging up again elsewhere?

I know primers went up 2.00 per 1000ct. and gun powder is 1.00 more per lbs. Everything is going up again. BUY NOW!

I buy my .40 practice ammo at Wally-World, WWB 100 count is around $26 bucks a box and the Federal ball is about $13....

Dang... I gave up on WW a while back since the ones close to me were always out of what I wanted. Maybe I should drop back by - do they keep a decent stock now?

I usually see most of it in stock at Walmart. Usually not everything, but at least 2 or 3 calibers, with a couple choices in band, usually.

Manufacturers have been telling us for a year now that prices are going up and availability is going to be spotty.

The local Walmart has very little if any handgun ammo, mostly shotgun shells.

Same here, the local wallyworld hasn't had that much ammo in stock.

I buy about a box a week when I can find it...

A couple in South Austin have had a ton in stock recently.

All the ones in North Austin have had good supply. I guess we have all the people in the state that done shoot

Funny - Graf's prices on primers are still the same they were last year - mebbe that's why they sell out so quickly....they're not gouging us!

You bought ammo at a Walmart in Houston?! I thought all the Houston locations stopped selling guns and ammo a few years back. Did they change their mind?

Threads like this keep my credit card bills high....off to order some ammo!

 

[DirtyD]

EVERY walmart around me has plenty of ammo in stock....

Taxes and inflation are on the rise, so I am guessing prices on everything else are going to rise also. I haven't heard anything about raw materials going up yet, but they may be also.
