Were people lined up buying it at that price?I went to the 1500 Saturday and saw .223 going for .90 to $1 a round....
I saw some buying, but there was still plenty on the tables.Were people lined up buying it at that price?
Of course people are buying. Midway USA has jacked their prices up and they're one of the biggest online retailers. They have their own massive conventions for smaller retailers. They're selling 223/556 for close to $1 a round.I saw some buying, but there was still plenty on the tables.
That is just nuts. I'm glad I bought an 8lb jug of TG at retail last year. It was the last one Atterbury had and was $160. Cant imagine what that would go for now.I went to the 1500 Saturday and saw .223 going for .90 to $1 a round. Saw titegroup going for $75/lb and I just bought some 2 weeks ago at $45/lb.
Some of the HP-38 I bought was running $28/lb. Now I'm paying $40 when I can find it.That is just nuts. I'm glad I bought an 8lb jug of TG at retail last year. It was the last one Atterbury had and was $160. Cant imagine what that would go for now.
What did you pay for the 6.5? I got some ELDM 140s for 1.80 a bullet last weekHighsmiths got in some ammo today, I was able to get some 6.5 Creedmoor, 30-30, and some 9mm.
29.99/box just S&B target ammoWhat did you pay for the 6.5? I got some ELDM 140s for 1.80 a bullet last week
Midway emailed me this today. Don't even give you a break buying 1000 rounds . I'll start shooting slingshot before I pay that for 9mm. Luckily I still have enough components to reload 9mm for a while.Of course people are buying. Midway USA has jacked their prices up and they're one of the biggest online retailers.

people have to stop buying it at that price first.Midway’s pricing at about $1/round is most unfortunate considering they are one of the largest online sellers and purport to be a strong supporter of 2A. You’d think they would cut the gun community a break and start lowering prices a bit.
Right..I've watched their prices go up 30% over the past month or so. I stopped watching at some point.people have to stop buying it at that price first.
Only after sitting on inventory longer than they're comfortable with will the prices naturally start to come down...
How high is this bubble going to go? Good Lord.Midway emailed me this today. Don't even give you a break buying 1000 rounds . I'll start shooting slingshot before I pay that for 9mm. Luckily I still have enough components to reload 9mm for a while.
Currently going for about $1.05 / round give or take.That means the .45 ACP is worth $2/rd, amirite?
This is the key. If people stop panic buying, prices will come back down, just like back in 2012-2014. When people can buy it at stupid prices and flip it for even more, the craziness will not end any time soon.people have to stop buying it at that price first.
