We are getting more reasonably priced ammo in stock around here, however it vanishes quickly leaving the expensive stuff sitting around. I got 500 Aguila Super Extra 40 grain for $30.00 the other day.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
Inflation in October hit a 30 year high. I think 10 cents/ round is probably the floor. The leftists’ are so busy spending trillions, they have taken their mind off of new gun and ammo regulations ( for the time being). I am more concerned with availability at this point rather than prices. Thank God I went into this mess with a pretty good strategic reserve.

Went into a farm store that usually has ammo today. They had some slugs and a few boxes of Sellier & Bellot target grade 22lr.
I asked the manager about less expensive 22lr ammo. He said they got in a shipment of 450 Aguila Super Extra in 250 count boxes It took them 3 days to sell out at $20 per box. He said he didn't have any idea when he would be getting more in.
Wouldn't surprise me if this manufactured transportation crisis hurts prices and availability. Ammo is too easy to relegate to lower priority, and I'm reading that truck freight rates are headed for the moon. Severe shortages of drivers, and of course fuel prices having doubled, with high probability of doubling again.

Walmart had the Federal match 325 count last night for 21 and change. I think it was 17 and change before. The CCI maximags for the 125 count carton. Went up about 5 bucks. I did get one while i was there.
One round at a time.

The last .22s that I bought [recently] was cci standard velocity for 49.00 per brick [2] with free shipping. My Winchester M52 pre-A loves it.
Have we seen the last of those neat plastic boxes that CCI used to sell MiniMags (and I assume MaxiMags) in? A cost saving I'm sure, but I liked them a lot. Must save all that I have left.

Local wall mart has had federal automatch 325 rounds for $21.14 for the past 5 saturdays. 2 box limit.
Recently found CCI Mini Mags copper plated HP's at 11 cents ea with reasonable shipping. Bought 900 rounds. Probably don't need them but seemed like a reasonable price and no way of knowing when or if they will drop much below that.
900 rounds is a lot of rabbits and squirrels.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
$39.95 for for a "traditional 500 round brick" of Remington Thunderbolts at Academy today. $25 for 350 round box of Aguila high speed and $10/50 for Norma Tac .22LR.
I left them there.

It boarders on insulting to send me add that says big ammo sale?!!
Rem junk 22 for $60+ bulk box
The bottom line price for 22LR ammunition is an average of 2cents a round … if you reload. It takes less than 20 minutes to reload a box of 50 …

It has now been nearly 20 months since the pandemic began and much longer since the gun buying surge began and both continue to this day.
Prices go up over time in any case and not just due to panic and inflation. Lots of things contribute to rising prices.
That is why I believe the prices will never go back to pre-pandemic prices. It just isn't going to happen.
I can't say what the prices will end up being. I am certain it will be higher than it was.
If you can find a good deal on ammo, buy it.
The last .22 I bought probably april this year was under 3$ a 50rd box of Aguilia at dicks 3 box limit. Still see it priced stupid or not available at gun shows and elsewhere.
Local farm and ranch store had CCI Std velocity ammo. After tax it was just under 9 cents a round.
The local Murdoch's has
Norma Tac 22 $8 for 50
CCI standard $4 for 50
CCI MiniMag $10 for 100
It seems to stay on the shelf now. I think supply is catching up with demand.
