I get a kick out of these "Look what I found" post. Yep, a sure sign the ammo is coming back". Seems so many do not actually remember what "Normal" is anymore. No they are NOT coming back to normal.
My go to, normal supplier was TargetSports. I had orders coming in almost each WEEK. And I have a list of all my orders for the past three years since joining the club. And I use this as a gauge to see how the shortage is going. And NOW there is no ammo to buy in 9mm or 380 or 38 etc. Lol, that is the NEW normal. Here is a invoice in one week in
MAY 2019. Plenty available And just to bring back the NORMAL to the real world.
Wolf Steel Case $9mm at the time was $6.43 per box of 50. I use to order cases of it each month. I could order cases of 380 for around $12-15 per box of 50, of Remington, and other brands.
Typical monthly order during normal times.
In March of 2020 things started to really go South for Centerfire ammo. Yes, I cold still find some deals at a higher cost, but still it was the beginning of the end for Normalcy. Some posters said posted some so called deals on 22.cal and made ridiculous comments that plenty would be available at low cost in the coming years.
I knew right Then that I should STOCK up on my already large stash and began ordering as much as I could afford and this pic shows the recent orders the time before putting away to my Stash.
Typical order of 22.cal in MAY 2019
After the 22.cal market then crashed, I started to order as much Buckshot as possible to add to my Shotgun stash. Now, I just order Air Pistol and Rifle Pellets to enjoy the Sport of shooting which means freqency of range time.
A example of cost of Quality Pellets.
