People spending their Christmas cash.I was waiting for Friday, payday to buy some 223 brass. Lo and behold its dried up! I couldn't find anything in 223. I did come across some Norma boxed brass they had 4 left . So I took them all . But jeeze things are getting thin .
The brass is .25 per. But is in stock if you roll your own.Almost a buck a round for .380 ant at that they are sold out! Crazy!

Winchester Brass (UNPR) 380 ACP 100ct [WINU380] | $24.43 |
We may still get to John Wick prices of 7 million dollars for 7 rounds.I'll go back to making my own bows and arrows from the trees in the back forty before I pay that for that.

This will be the issue going forward this season. Even those of us that had a decent stockpile and/or reloading components will be faced with a shortage. My hunch is steel challenge will become more popular since at least you can shoot a rimfire platform.It's getting bad. Attendance is getting pretty low at our club matches. A lot of people only shoot factory ammo. Even a few reloaders are running out of components.
They lost me. I’ll never buy from ammo supply or outdoor limited again. Fuck them. They are a rip off. Raping is over the coals.Some vendors (who will ship to this god foressken hell hole of FUAC's doing) that got resupplied are asking almost 2 bucks a round for FMJ.

Damn.
Silver lining...no ammo =less gun sales =gun prices drop, buy now and wait until the prices come down?Pffft. Armatures. $2.60 per round.
ETA: To put this more into perspective. I see 50 BMG going for $2.95 per round.

They said they are running at capacity too in that article as well. Now they say components are hard to get specially explosives grade cardboard?? Yeah I’m confused too. Maybe it doesn’t product static because it’s wax coated or something. Hell if I know.So in one article a major manufacturer says they are running to capacity, another article says they can't get components. Well that doesn't make sense. What is really going on.

I'm surprised that manufacturers haven't got involved to control prices that limit access to those gouging!!!
I doubt the manufacturers care what it’s selling for and they are passing on the price increases to distributors that they are seeing. I can bet you the ammo makers are not selling .380 for $1.25-$1.50 round then a profit to distributor and a profit to the seller. It’s only a few places that are price gouging that I have seen. Notice the big box store prices have not risen nearly as fast. Funny it’s a few places that ship to NYS that are price gouging. Why am I not surprised?Well if they're running at capacity, it doesn't make sense that there wouldn't be "sightings" of ammo... And the pricing!?!? I'm surprised that manufacturers haven't got involved to control prices that limit access to those gouging!!! Otherwise it implies they are complicit and enjoying the uptick in pricing!
$2 per rnd for .380? Like WTF!
Anyways, hold em of you got em, lmao!
Wait until Uncle Joe's administration sees ammunition availability improving and decides that all government agencies need to stock up on ammunition reserves. That will keep supplies available to civilians to a minimum.So in one article a major manufacturer says they are running to capacity, another article says they can't get components. Well that doesn't make sense. What is really going on.
