Thirteen days ago my LGS got in 1000 bx/50 ct. Blazer 40 gr 22lr. No internet sales but as of last night at closing, they still have 228 boxes left on the shelf. $4.95/bx.
At the rate this is moving, it will take them three weeks to clear their inventory.

In today's market that's not too bad.

I went to a local gun show over the weekend & they had ammo, it was selling for about $1 per round, more for HP or personal protection rounds.

I am starting to see pretty minor price improvements in availability of ammo in North Alabama. It also seems that prices are moderating a little in the local gun stores and pawn shops. My local indoor range has lowered shoot -in-house 9mm from $18.99/50 to $15.99/50 in the last two weeks. Good news. Maybe it will continue.

AR15 parts are still pretty high. I wish I had bought that bolt carrier group I wanted a year ago.

9mm just dropped from $24.99 for 50 to $19.99 for 50. Prices are finally starting to drop a little. .350 Legend hasn’t changed much, Winchester 145g FMJ’s went up from $9.99 for 20 to $11.99 for 20, but are back down to $9.99. Hornady American Whitetail 170 grain JSP’s are still the same prices haven’t changed on those from pre pandemic. .40 S&W is $22.99 for 50, down a little from $24.99. 12 gauge ammo is still cheap those prices haven’t changed pre pandemic to now at all up my way. Ammo is also easier to find aside from 22 LR and WMR.

Just checked a few days ago. Price was around $45.00 per box where available. A price drop of Federal range ammo dropped from $899 for a 1,000 case to $699.Ridiculous At these prices I will continue to just shoot air pistols. . This summer I am betting on more riots and chaos. So will see how that plays with the Market.

For 9mm? Jeez, where are you located? I’m in far north Vermont, live a couple miles from the Canadian border. Just bought ammo yesterday, $19.99 for 50, standard brass case 115 grain FMJ’s

My LGS has dropped 9mm from 39.99 to 29.99 per 50 as of a few days ago. 5.56 is 13.99 per 20 rounds. I didn't price anything else.

I see where the current price fluctuates like the stock market. Highs and lows. Obviously some locations are better than others. I think when you truly see a reasonable and continued low price and availability the Internet stores will be the Key. Some internet stores have them as low as $35.00 plus shipping.But few and far between. One LGS had some come in but it was a order he put in about 8-9 months ago. He had no idea when more would arrive. It will be interesting to see how the seasons effect the price and any new civil unrest which usually comes in the Summer.

My three local shops have had empty shelves since Christmas. the small amount that trickles in irregularly and is quickly bought up. Prices are still very high compared to 2019.

I'm not really concerned about ammo, but am always on the hunt for 308/ 30-06 friendly powder. I found 2 pounds of Accurate 2700 for $29 each. I was thinking ammo and reloading supplies would just trickle in from time to time, but we have had nothing here in about 2 months.

Picked up a box of 50 Sig 9mm v crown JHP today at Scheels. Was willing to spend the $43 since I haven’t seen JHP in months.

We have fishing tackle boxes on all the shelves where ammo used to be, so am not much help in giving you a prize.

Been looking for 30-30 win ammo locally with no luck. I can get it online but surprisingly it costs way more than other ammo. Cheapest I saw it online was for $2.50/round. Why is 30-30 win ammo harder to get and more expensive? I figured since it was a hunting round there wouldn’t be as much demand.

I found CCI Mini Mags for $ 11.99 and $ 12.99 a pack. I ordered a few thousand. Shipping was free from both sources.

"Price" is irrelevant when product doesn't exist.

22 back at range . . .

Local range just got in some 22LR. I paid 11 cents a shoot for boxes of 50 and 9 cents a shot for box of 250.

Pricey, but not off the charts.

Truth be told I didn't "need" it but it felt good to fill in a couple empty spots on the 22 shelf in the ammo closet.

LIfe is good

I bought CCI MiniMags for $8.99/100 at my local WalMart a couple of weeks ago. Less than the CCI web site current price.

I know a guy works two jobs, one at the local Walmart; the workers grab every box before it hits the shelves and sell it on Ebay.

God help me, I broke down and bit on two 100ct boxes of Winchester White Box 115 grain 9mm at Academy today; $34 ea

They may snatch it up, but they aren't selling it on eBay. All the major online sellers prohibit ammunition sales. eBay even prohibits component sales.
