Been catching up on my reloading a little bit at a time due to the corn-teens and snow. Thanks to a member here - cough, @Nighttrain, cough - I had a "few" .38 Spl. cases to work with.
Dug deep and found a 500 count box of Hornaday 148 gr. HBWC from 1992 or so and loaded them up. Out of curiosity I looked them up at the usual vendors. Well, they don't have any.......... but if they did it would be about $58 plus shipping. Dayum.

Lots of freaking out about .35 Remington over the past 10 years. I think it only comes out seasonally like that bourbon maker’s egg nog.
Sad , but now people are anxious about 30-30.

My neighbor paid something like $35/box last year for 35 Rem. 200gr. Couldn't find his normal 150gr anywhere.
I haven't seen 30-30 in the wild around here in a year

Theres a liberal gun owners group on Reddit thats 127k members strong. There all new shooters and have no idea what the original going rate is for ammo. Most of them say they got into gun ownership after the capitol riots.

It would be funny if their gun shops didn't tell them when things get back to normal.

I bought a quarter sheet and it was $23.00. Luckily I had enough for my project and was able to return it. Crazy times.Have you seen what plywood is going for???
more craziness. 6.5 Creedmoor at 4 dollars a round

I'll admit to doing that with my slug gun for a couple reasons:
1: it fukkin hurts to shoot it too much
2: At $4 a round, it hurts the wallet, IF I can find the slugs I shoot.

I just looked and a guy is selling some ammo with a tag on it saying visual defects. Anyone ever see this? It’s cheap for what it is not given the pandemic prices. Sounds weird to me and never heard of it before.
I have scanned the ammo auctions and have seen what seems to be reloads being sold. These do not appear to branded reloads, but they look to be someone’s home made ammo without the load data listed. Be careful what you are bidding on. Bubba may have cranked up his Dillon to take advantage of the situation. Just hope the ATF isn’t buying it otherwise they are in a world of hurt.
Again, I am not talking about shooting a particular gun sparsely. I am joking on the guy whose entire shooting output for the year is less than a box of ammo and those types are out there. So I am guessing that the $455 for 120 rounds guy just aquired a lifetime supply. I suppose in those terms it actually makes a little more sense to pay that.
Suppose it could also be the guy who shows up to the range in his $200,000 G-wagon and doesn't give a damn if its $4 a round or $40....

I’ve got an ammo can full of surplus milspec 30-06 ball ammo too, from when I was a member of the DCM ( CMP) back some 25+ years ago. Wonder what I could get for that !

i am VERY late into this and paying pretty penny now.
i remember paying 50 cents for a round of shotgun slugs and 40 cents for 7.62x51/308 fmj prior to covid, thinking this is ridiculous price for ammo.
wish i had bought more, as those prices now dont look ridiculous.

Let me know when I can start unloading this Winchester 5.56 I paid $0.19 a round for.
When 5.56 gets over a $1/per for fmj I might cash in.
Right now local gunshops still hovering around $0.75 for good fmj. Thats expensive, but still doable ,but also not worth me unloading it.

Well after Day 1 Remington is at $105 + $20 $2.08/rd shipped with 9 watching and Federal is at $77 + $20 $1.62/rd shipped with 13 watching. Didn't really know what to expect but I'm good wherever it winds up from here. Listed another penny listing for vintage box of 22 WMR no clue what to expect with that one lol...

Last yr or so my friend got a hold of a 35rem rifle and after some research we did the ammo is only made once a yr .. so when its gone its gone till
next yr .. now no one i bet is making it ..
i knew i should have bought reloading dies for it back then .. could have sold it to the OP @cgrutt .. to add to the listing LOL ..
I have been selling a lot of 22lr and making a fortune. At the height of all of this, I was selling a brick for $99. Sold a shit ton of them. 100 round plastic box of CCI, I was selling for $25.
I have a lot, A LOT of 22. As long as there are people willing to spend this kind of crazy money, I will continue to sell.

I never had a shit ton of ammo on hand. I always shot most of it. I would only have 5-600 rounds for 223 an 22lr sitting any more that i bought i would shoot. Right now im buying little by little with the inflated prices so that i have enough to shoot for the summer. $100 here $100 there its. Not so bad but Paying 8-900 for 1k of 556 really hurts i wont do that.
