Just what the title says. Ammo is getting cheaper by the week and, except for .22LR, you can find pretty much everything at pre-Newtown levels.
I don’t buy ammo, but I could use a few specific Gun powders. Powder is still mysteriously absent from the shelves.
I loaded up on mags when they came down (I have plenty but had a lot of people that should know better asking me if I knew where to find any last time around).
I was ready for the last several panics in the ammo department too but am taking advantage of falling prices when I can to pad things out.
If everyone here would send my 5 gallons of once fired .223 brass, I’d be happy. My pool of brass is aging… quickly.
I’m all set… I thought. Two years ago I bought enough powder for what I thought would be at least 10 years worth. Well, it was more like 3. ****ing 7.62 ammo chews up the powder way more than I anticipated. I’m in relatively good shape, loaded ammo wise but I’d like to have a bigger stock of powder.

I don’t typically buy loaded ammo, but I’ve been searching for a few certain powders that have been MIA for a while now… it seems like the hunt is more fun than the kill.
You’d have your brass if you bought ammo ![]()
Wolf GOLD seems like an exceptional deal if you’re a reloader. $350 shipped per 1000rds and it’s boxer primed.
I had no idea powder was short. Whats up with that?
Primers and bullets are everywhere. It’s the powder that’s just non existent.
Damn. Pappabear was talking about buying some ammo. I say it’s too early. I’ve been watching ammo sit on the shelves. It will have to go cheaper still.
I had no idea powder was short. Whats up with that?
I don’t really know. I’m not sure if it’s gobbled up before retail, or something else.
There was an email flyer from some online retailer saying that they saved this batch of powder for “retail”. I wonder what the other option for the powder was. Commercial reloading?
Yeah, but I still don’t have enough if there were to be another shortage. I need to start stacking up, but other things in life are taking precedence at the moment… ![]()
I’ve been finding primers more and more around town. Unfortunately they are still selling at somewhat inflated prices unless you want to order them. Certain bullets are still kind of scarce, but most are coming back around.
That’s true. I can remember when Pappabear would drop by and hand me 8 lbs of whatever powder like nothing. “Okay… Cool. Put it over on the shelf.”
Fudge me!!!
I am not ready for the next shortage because I shoot… A LOT.
I can’t keep ammo around long. I’m like an ammo crackhead. Do you really think crackheads have any extra crack lying around just incase their dealer gets locked up?
Primers & projos are everywhere, at least around here. I kick myself in the ass though; about 2 months ago I called my local honey hole & they had two 8 pounders of H322 & some 1 pounders of Varget in stock. I thought screw it, I’ll wait & swing by on the weekend when I have more time. They were sold out when I called to confirm that following Saturday.
On the the flip side, I’m doing what I can to help you guys out with 22LR. I haven’t bought or shot that crap in over 10 years. Last time was to eradicate some critters around the house. My 10/22 has sat dormant ever since.

I’ll never be ready! I have a good supply of components, but how long will the next one last and how much will prices increase?
I was hoping to be the hook up with some of those surplus brass auctions we were watching during the late unpleasantness but you saw where those prices went.
Those things get bid up to fukktard levels. I don’t know who’s getting them, but the price they pay is stupid.
That’s essentially our situation here as well. I’m good on factory ammo, along with projectiles, primers and brass.
But I’d love to find some kegs of Bullseye and Ramshot TAC on the shelf.
Buy it cheap, stack it deep.
You guys have a little bit of time before the great scared of 2016 will occur with Hilary…
Yup, just what I have been doing. I live within walking distance of Cabela’s. Every time they put primers or projectiles on sale, I buy a bunch.
And I have been fortunate on most of my training classes this year. I brought food, ice water and Gatorade for all the students, and most of them gave me their brass in return.
I’m waiting for some further price drops and then back the truck up.
It’s dropping further every week now just have to be patient. Bought some here and there when a deal popped up but looking for that bottom to jump big.
