I will be proven right.... again. Over on GlockTalk, many are convinced that ammo prices are immune to the laws of Economics (Supply & Demand) and that the recently inflated prices are here to stay. "THIS TIME is different," they insist.

I've encountered the same arguments here at times, but not as much.

ANYHOO.... 6.5 Creedmoor is down to $2.15 / round at Cabela's (limit 5 boxes). It's been at $2.50 / rd for a while, and it remains there at most other retailers.

At the peak, 6.5CM was running $5 / rd!

So... $2.15 is encouraging. But, I'm used to $1.20 - $1.30 / rd for the good match grade stuff. I'm going to continue sitting tight.

But, I'll be watching it. Of course, I would never rub it in again when I'm proven right. 😜 I'm not the kind to say, "I told ya so!" Naaaaaaaaa... not my style at all! 🤣

Also... 9-mm: I'm seeing it down to 31 cents / rd for brass:

Have not seen any other threads on ammo prices. In general they seem to have come down and stabilized somewhat, with more ammo available than has been in several years. As noted earlier I picked up some 38 special from SGAmmo at below what the usual prices have been. Today I took a gamble on some Federal HST boxes from a company I found on AmmoSeek. I had never heard of them but a few checks around the web says they are legitimate. I have not swapped out my carry ammo in almost two years, so what I have in my mags is due for a shootin and some fresh rounds loaded up. I could dig into my stores of the stuff, but why do that instead of buy some more??

Pre-pandemic pricing on 180grain. Also got several boxes of Remington 9mm and one box of S&B 380acp.

Just as a follow up on my post: This was a company I was not familiar with, so wanted to let people know that my order did arrive today. Unpacked, inspected. They had competitive prices on ball ammo, and pre-covid pricing on my carry ammo referenced above. I think if I recall correctly that my taxes and shipping on entire order plus one box of 50 carry ammo was about the same price as one box of carry ammo before taxes and shipping on other sites.

That is the ammo I was using at the TFP class.

I like S&B ammo a lot for range practice. I especially like how compact their boxes are, don't take up a ton of space in the ammo cans or range bags
