Here We Go Again!

There's Still So Many DRATS Stock-Piling Ammo They Can't Keep Up!

Tell A DRAT He Can't Have Something & He'll Prove You Wrong By Paying A 100 X What It's Worth!

The title makes it sound like the price is going to triple but at the bottom of the article it says 1-7%. Which any upward movement sucks, but it’s not as bad as initial expectations.

Most idiots only read the headline

Another rush on stuff that is already hard to get and all because someone wants to make the headlines!
1-7% is just keeping with inflation not a "substantial" price rise.

Election year coming.

Sales a bit down for some time

Create a panic to help ease inventory and boost company balance sheet before the end of the year.

It will probably work.

You can't hurt my feelings

I was a slab cracker when Clinton did the AWB.

 

[mtmuley]

I don't really care about loaded ammo, but the Alliant powder availability bums me out. mtmuley

 

[BradA]

Seems like guns and ammo prices increase due to demand on an election year.

Hoss is so far ahead of you, you couldn't find him with a 60x spotting scope.

1-7% is still BS from where it was.

Sorry, I'm pretty sure I got everyone beat. Just ask my wife.

Prices up from what? Pricing on ammo has been a roller coaster for the last few years. There is no standard price any more.

I love ammoseek! Set the price you want and it will let you know when price drops.

 

[MountainSqwabler]

It sucks, but ya know what never helped prices? When dudes with say 20,000 rounds of 9mm that never go shooting come in and buy another pallet. Or the guy that's got 20,000 LR primers and come in and clear the shelves because " ya never have enough" JS

Ukraine is looking at an ammunition shortage. Shortages of gunpowder ect we’re gonna see the effects of this in availability and prices again unfortunately.

How does that work?
Are private sector powder companies forced to stock government supplies, including other countries?
Or is it affected by available components to manufacture the powders?

Companies like Winchester and such are forced to stop any and all shipments and stockpile specific ammunition for the government.

I think I'm going to contest that trophy

So it’s now 2024. Did these hikes materialize?

Slightly, yes.

I See MIDWAY USA Has Actually Lowered Some Of Their Ammo Just A Little!

 

[Gorilla]

I think the bigger driver is the fact that Vista is looking to sell off their shooting sports division and trying to bolster their valuation leading up to the sell.

Midway is still way overpriced. There are 50 other online places to find ammo cheaper than midway. Every once in a while you find something on a crazy deal however. Probably 6/7 years ago they had 7mm STW Nosler ammo for $30 something a box , I bought a case.

 

[elkassassin]

I Won't argue They Are Still Over Priced!

Here's The Best Buy I Ever Made & I Have Mentioned It On Here Before!

Right In The Middle Of The COVID BS!

When Prices On Everything Sky-Rocketed!

I Bought 375 RUM Ammo For 29.99 A Box!

When I First Seen It I Thought MIDWAY Had Made A Mistake!

You Can't Even Buy Bare Brass For That Price!

So I Called MIDWAY & The Gal Said That Was The Right Price!

I Still Doubted It But I Ordered A Few Boxes!

About 3-4 Days Later It Showed Up!

So Then I Ordered More!

And I Got The 2nd Order!

Wasn't Long & They JACKED It To 59.99 Which Was still A Great Buy!

Wasn't Long After That & They JACKED It To 89.99!

My Question Is:

If They Can Sell It For 29.99 A Box?

They Must Really Enjoy Bending Us Over With The GOUGING?

Every single thing in my cart (I have CRS) at Midway went up 10% ish on Jan1. It’s bullroar.

Honestly, this price gouging no customer service BS is causing me to change my spending habits.

Pretty much everyone I rode with through this pandemic trump/biden inflation bullchit is getting a second look now. Especially the ones who took advantage of me (I just got my homeowners bill-WTF!)

I’m starting with my insurance carrier and car dealership, and I’ll eventually get to Midway.

The guillotine swings both ways.
