That's approximately their normal price.

I picked up 200 rounds of .380 at Wal-Mart on FM646 and Gulf Freeway just before Christmas. It was up about ten percent from the previous stable price, at about $34 per box of 100 versus just under $30.

I usually buy from Ammotogo but lately there 9mm, 223, have been the pits. I have a friend in brenham pick it up to avoid shipping but selection is poor. I can still find my 7.62, but I can see the impact our political fallout and economy has on our ability to protect ourselves. I generally stock up but put 7-8k downrange last year so I now feeling a bit naked. If its not one thing its another

I check at my local Acadamy in Sugar Land and Rosenberg and the department managers both told me the steel cased Monarch 7.62x51 ammo is not available nationally. I had them check other stores locally for inventory and then state and country wide. He came up with goose eggs for me. Kind of a bummer because that ammo was cheaper than ANYTHING else around for plinkin with my CETME. I found some Silver Bear for a little more plus shipping at .52 per round.

All the local stores near me are either out, or charging ridiculous prices. I went to the Bass Pro Shop last week and they were selling .45 for $39.99/50rds. And we're talking plain old FMJ here. Dicks not much better, $32/50rds of WWB in .45.

I ordered some Magtech from Natchez, a case for $14.99/50. They just sent me an email a little while ago, they got a bunch more in stock from different manufacturers for about the same price.

A couple weeks ago I bought 45 at Walmart in Plano. I could have sworn it was right at 30 bucks for 100 round wwb...I think the 40 was 26 for 100 wwb. I am stocked up now and am done buying until the prices come down. I have over 30K rounds of various calibers. 9mm, 40, 45, 223, 7.62x39. I have one last back order from Sportsmans paradise for 2K rounds of 7.62x39 JHP at 209 per case/ Im not holding my breath, I am sure those theives don't want me to have it at that price. They have delayed it about 8 times now...bunch of crooks in the ammo game folks. Ammo man has lost my business forever...that guy is a thief. in the past i bought thousands of rounds from that crook and he used to be fair...now he is a thief. I have run out of storage places...LOL.

Any good sales around Dallas area on ammo?
I`ve been to Walmart here lately and they have pretty much nothing right now. I usually get the 100 round boxes ( 9mm and .40 )but nothing in stock.

It is simple economics; supply and demand. A seller should sell at the price that the market will handle. If his prices are too high, then he won't sell anything. Respectfully, calling him a thief because he, like almost everyone, is raising prices, is unwarranted.

Not in my opinion, it's not. He raised his prices three times the night of the election as the polls came in. Guess we see it two different ways. :tiphat:
