Last time I bought factory ammo it was at $0.16/rd minus 25% rebate. So I'm staying far, far away from these prices.
FFS this is a hobby - not an investment
I'm curious, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.With all the reloads I have in calibers that I don't shoot, I will simply buy a firearm in each caliber until exhausted. Sell the firearm for another caliber and keep banging away...
...don't need to buy ammo, just different firearms!
Remember, don't eat the silica desiccant!
Prices on components are changing so rapidly it's hard to figure, I used to reload 9mm and .40sw for around 7-9 cents per round. That's probably up to 20+ cents per round now but still cheaper than 50+ cents per round that it is selling for now. How many times you can use the case depends on a lot of factors, namely how hot the loads are, how often you have to trim the brass, etc.I'm curious, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Question for you guys that reload. What is your cost per round for 9mm and 5.56?
How many times can you reuse a brass casing?

You guys spending $500 on a case of 9mm would be better served by buying a couple bricks of .22's and a reliable .22 pistol. Nothing wrong with training with a .22
22 has gone up too... it's not 3-4 cents a round anymore.
No, it's not.......but it's not anywhere near 50 cents per rnd either. The last .22 ammo I bought was shorts @ 9 cents each for CCI which was only up 2 cents from last year's price.
Probably because they were shorts....
Generally, you were lucky to even find them, weren't you? So it goes...

I thought his wife kept one in her purse.Give the guy a break. It was the only one he had left...
I live within hearing distance from my range. By the sound of things, very few people are shooting anything. There was a guy out there today shooting a muzzle loader I think. Probably just sighting it in for hunting season since he only fired off maybe 6 roundsa lot of people are buying at covid prices, and honestly... good for them
sure some of you bought it cheaper pre-covid and have a good amount stashed away
but are yall still going to the range and shooting? because from what i can see, even the people that have a stash still arent shooting now because they are too cheap to replenish it

that was kind of the point im getting at, its kind of ironic that gun owners will be all about 2A, MURICA, and COME AND TAKE IT but all it takes for people to completely stop shooting is for ammo prices to double or triple
this might be even more effective than gun control
waiting for prices to go up even higher so that people can suggest carrying less lethal options instead of CCW because it'll cost less than a mag of JHP
And that's the tactic that they are starting to look at... Taxing the crap out of ammo and accessories.
