Ammo Prices Stabilize

 Wow, have times changed and the Feds have done an excellent job of restricting the market. 
 I must give them credit on this for without their strenuous and continuous effort with our money to restrict supply I doubt the prices would have held up so long.

Availability increases for everything but .22 LR indicate that supply vs demand has at least stabililized at a higher price structure.  Wally world when available $24 per brick of 550 and at gun shows $45-55 for .22 LR.   Recent gun show prices for boxes of 50 rounds of .22 indicate a new price of close to .20 per round since they were going for $8-10 per box of 50 which was the old price for 9mm.

Here is an example what what .22 is going for when you want to get it now.

Gun show visits show availability is up for most ammo types and cost has gone down from peaks.

Examples:

5.56 - 400 rounds of Federal Green Tip in the can were $399. and are now down to $299.  Before the crunch you could find a can for $150-$175.

Try this.  Palmetto State Armory Green Tip 1000 rd  xm855cs bulk pack $419.99 

7.62x39mm Russian made non-corrosive is now back down to earth at around .30 per round both online and at shows.

5.45 x 39 is around at .30 per round for non-corrosive.  A corrosive tin of 1080 rounds is going for around $220 online but so far none are found at shows.

9mm is still found at Wally World for $13-14 up from $11 but you only see it when a delivery truck arrives and it is out shortly thereafter.

12 and 20 gauge shotgun bulk boxes of 100 in 7 1/2 shot are becoming more steadily available at Wally World.   The average price is closing on $29 per box up from $22 per box of 100 before  Gun shops have 12 and 20 but prices are much higher.

5.7mm is around but still very pricey at $40 per box of 50 vs $25 before.

.308 is still around $1 or more per round depending on whether it is surplus or new manufacture hollow point hunting rounds that can go up over $1.75 per round.

Self Defense Ammo is available at most shops in the PA, MD, DE, VA, WV, and OH area.  I have no current updates on TX or ID.
