    Default Cost of 45acp 3/14/12

    I was in walmart recently and was literally shocked to see the cost of 45acp. One of the reasons i went with 40s&w over 45acp was the price tag as well as capacity increase. 40s&w isn't even cheap, but it was still 5-7$ a box cheaper than 45acp, which altogether is anywhere from 7-12 dollars a box more than 9mm.

    At walmart in Mt. Pocono, the cost of WWB 50 round 40s&w was 17.95.
    --------------------------- the cost of WWB 50 round 45acp was 18.95.

    WTF happened? It looks like two things happened. 40s&w went up about a $1.50 - $2.00 and it looks like 45acp went down about $4-6....

    Am I going crazy or is anyone else seeing this?

    Walmart is the only place I know of that has raised the price of ammo over the past 3 years.

    Buy cases online, it's cheaper. Or, buy from a shop that has prices similar to Walmart. Walmart is still at the low end, but they haven't been the cheapest for some time.

    I usually Reload all my ammo. Cheapest I've seen .45acp at Walmart was just a little under @38.50/100 including tax.

    The good news is prices are on the low end at gun shows and SOME shops now. I'd rather give them my money if they are close.

    I shoot Tulammo exclusively (non SD) and prices are very good. I cant find prices that come close to these online.

    My local walmart has:

    Tulammo 7.62x39mm and .223 Rem - 20rds $4.95
    Tulammo 9mm - 50rds $9.95
    Tulammo .40 - 50rds $13.95
    Tulammo .45 - 50rds $14.95


    never had any problems in any of my rifles or pistols.

    Yeah I was pretty pissed off when I first noticed that. That was a couple months ago.
