Ammo prices coming down?
« on: May 05, 2009, 07:16:12 PM »
I received info from an ammo dealer that the prices should come down in 2-3 weeks!!! I hope it's true. But he said don't buy any ammo right now just wait a little bit. Thought I would pass it along!!!  ;)

No worries over Slider, there is non to be had anyway. Someone on here said they saw pallets at Sportsmans or Sportco yesterday, I went to both today and the shelves are still empty.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

I can't find anything here except shotgun and some rifle stuff. No 45's, 223, 380 or any defense rounds for that matter, for over a month now? And I'm checking a few stores every other day!

there's a gun shop in issaquah that had ammo by the case sitting on the floor for sale the other day. i didn't pay attention to the price or caliber, and i would assume it was mostly black gun stuff and pistol stuff...but they had lots of ammo.
pm and i will share the location if anyone is interested.

It would be nice but I don't by it, I think the most popular ammo, 9mm, .45, .223 ect, are going to be hard to get and expensive for quite some time. Primers are the same. Talked to a Federal rep and was told you would be lucky to find primers before the fall.

I was in Sunbirds in Chehalis again yesterday. They have a good selection of rifle and shotgun ammunition. I didn't check the handgun stuff. They are also well stocked with powder but not much in the way of bullets. And, of course, no primers. I didn't notice any price reduction in any of the product.
I will hunt everywhere before I die

One thing for sure is when you find ammo right now its b/c its got a high price tag.

Sportsman's has jacked up the prices on some of there cases so I didnt buy any today...hoping that the prices are going to come down a little hell 10% would be great.

I contemplating getting a storage unit for my stash......

I haven't got 257 WBY dies yet so I stopped by SW in Lacey to get some. The didn't have any so I walked over to the loaded ammo and looked at the factory 257WBY ammo.  Wby. is really fooking proud of their ammo $67. a box of 20. I'll wait until I find some reloading dies.
Other then a few various wby chamberings, there wasnt *censored* on the ammo shelf, I'm curios to see if the prices will go up when they finally get some stock of their shelves.
