    Default Eating my Words - $10 a box 9mm

    You were right. I was wrong!

    It only took about FIVE YEARS but yes, 9mm brass case FMJ can now be found again at $10/box on a retail shelf.

    I did not think it would ever happen.
    Sale price of $10/box? Sure. Buy in bulk/case quantities to equal $10/50 rds? Sure - but I did not expect to see a retail/big box store sell it for $10 or less ever again.

    Unless this is just going to turn out to be a "clearance" thing where they do not intend to restock it, THIS is what I saw at Walmart last night...




    I nearly shipped my drawers.

    Here are the other "ROLLBACK" 9mm prices...






    and another random shelf pic...

    Yes. I have bought a bunch of those $9.97 boxes! I am wondering if it a special, because the federal aluminum 9mm was also $9.97 at my local walmart.

    At first I thought it was the aluminum case because that is all I ever saw at that price, but in the last picture on the left side you can see the $9.97 aluminum and it is clearly marked so. So the brass and aluminum are the same price. I know which one I am buying!

    Ammoman.com had them at one time (not long ago) for under 200/1000 delivered.

    Listen to what I am saying...

    NOT BULK AMMO.

    50 rd box on a retail shelf that you can buy and walk out with.

    Well looks I'll be heading to my local Wally World and seeing if they have any. I used to have a nice little stock pile of 9mm a few years back but sold it off after selling the only 9mm handgun I had at the time.

    Five? It's a lot longer than that isn't it? Well $9 was my benchmark. Now when the soros paid provocatures riot in July it will be gone.

    Personally I found the aluminum cased federal to be better ammo than the brass.

    Five years was just a wild guess. I know I've been hearing it for years that the price would come back down to "where it was" and I kept saying that it won't happen.

    I'm happy to be wrong. I'll be more happy if I can be convinced that this is for real and not just a tease like with ZQI ammo - they "rolled back" the price on that too for a while - until it was no longer stocked.

    I have found it to be underpowered and sometimes it invites malfunctions because of that.
