$45 a box for .45 Target ammo? Are you serious?

[chaotic]

Well i just came back from an indoor range that also sells shooter supplies. Needless to say i was curious what they're ammo prices were and asked about 9mm which was $19.99 a box, than i asked about .45 ammo and they said $45 i nearly fell the hell over. Are you kidding me?

Wow...last time I "bought" .45 ammo it was Winchester White Box bulk....100 rounds for $25.

Glad I reload and have a lot of supplies on hand still.

doesn't surprise me...they're raping because they know they can and people will pay it if they wanna shoot...

I'm surprised that people are _surprised_ at the pricing during a shortage...

It's not "raping". It'scalled making money.

That's what happens. It's called supply and demand.


I have no problem with it. If the price had not been raised due to decreased supply and increased demand the ammo would not be there to purchase at all.

The most effective thing you can do is not buy it. Is it gouging? Of course it is. I say let them choke on it.

it'll never happen....

people will buy it if they want to shoot and that's all they can find.

I begin to wonder whether or not a silent, invisible hand is squeezing the garden hose shut on itself while some of us shoot our stashes dry.

That would be the easiest thing to do.

I got 2 boxes of wolf .45 for $17 each at midwayusa last week. I've 500 rounds total in .45 and thats all I'll need this shooting season. I'm saving the brass (except the wolf) and sending it to be reloaded over the winter.

IMO this shortage is really letting the shops show their true colors. When, or if, the products become readily available again the shops who kept the same prices will continue to get my business. The ones who drastically raised their prices are history.
