Look at this crazyness I found at local store

[Lefty Trigger]

Sure hope this crazy pricing don't last forever. Took a picture of this factory loaded ammo but seen other things that were just as bad or worse. One of the guys working at the gun counter said that people are backing off buying guns now because of the pricing of ammo and cleaning supplies. A large bottle of Hoppes #9 was over $30 bucks, bronze bore brushes are $9.99 each!

Welcome to the “Brave New World.”
The “good ole days” may soon be a reality.

Wow. 6CM has been on the shelf here through the whole shebang. But not at those prices.

 

[JEFFPPC]

Well Lefty, as I have stated on this forum, an often been flamed for, keep paying the ransom and it will keep climbing. Indicative of people today, lack of self control and self discipline. If you have been around any the last several election cycles and got caught short....Well, you earned it.I have heard numerous shooters who say they have powder and bullets for a year or more but no primers, how do you do that?

 

[Plumsask]

Just checked a local store here in sask, Canada. It's $55 CAD for the exact same ammo

 

[Monte F]

But its "match ammo".

 

[Retired Grunt]

So does the 6mm Creedmoor require a mini man bun?

 

[1K6BRA]

Like most of us are thinking now, back two years ago when we thought prices were too high then, why didn’t I buy more when it was lower in price. Hate to be pessimistic but I bet dollars to donuts we will be thinking that in the not too distant future about $44.99 for this box of “creed” was a good deal. At least it is there to be bought.

Saw 20 rds 6mmDasher 105 Bergers for $79.99 at LGS

Literally $4 for each trigger pull..... ouch. A whole different kind of recoil.

and we still find the brass left laying at the range

I paid $40 bucks for 200 primers, but I needed them for a special purpose.

Cheesus Crust! This is madness! Primers and powder are just about as insane. Wanting to start loading for a a couple of pistols and a couple of rifles but just the basic components are going to run over $500.

*Prices will go down*
wave chicken foot
*prices will go down*
waves chicken foot again

You could be absolutely right, but how do we know? Do we pop for ammo and components now, during a "supply shortage" or wait for the supply chain to return to a more normal state?

That is quite literally the million dollar question. In my 60 years and six months on this great planet I have learned to trust my instincts and gut feeling. The overwhelming percentage of things that I have reasoned this way have been correct, in my life anyway. About two years into the Trump administration I sensed a perfect storm brewing. Since I enjoy the games that I play with my guns I decided to stock up little by little when all the bills were paid. Places were actually offering deals and discounts buying components. In today’s political atmosphere no matter who will be in office and again this is my gut feeling from now on it will be challenging to say the least. I believe once you cry wolf loud enough you set the bar. The cost of raw material to make things has gone up and I am guessing not coming down much at all. Retailers know that we are willing to spend pretty much whatever it takes to enjoy our sport. And their costs go up for numerous reasons. The whole situation is a sad state of affairs. I feel really bad for the younger generation that we are hoping will replace us as responsible shooters and hunters. I’m glad I grew up when I did.

PRICES WILL CONTINUE RISING AS LONG AS PEOPLE PAY THESE PRICES.

Sure hope you are wrong about that.

My local sporting goods store has had plenty of 5.56 for several weeks now. PMC is good ammo. Consistently shot 1 MOA @100 for me. $10 is a fair price.

Prepare for, a Long Slog of this, OVER Priced, stupidity !
Probably gonna be, several more Months of, "Crazyness" to come, before getting better, as the Newbie's need to, play, "catch up" !

 

[Rsadams]

I haven't really bought anything since COVID but shot shells... I took my wife shooting and will reload that 100 and put it back in my range bag... It will be the first time I have reloaded on my Dillon since COVID started... I wonder if I will remember how..??? I picked up some .22 at a good price and have been shooting my Glock 44 alot more... Prices will come down hopefully like in the past shortages... If you can't find or afford ammo for one caliber , switch to another you can... I have been shooting skeet since all this started and could find reloading supplies for it.... Now even they are WAY overpriced....

SHHHHHHHH. I haven't needed to buy pistol brass for decades.
