Stopped by my local WW this evening and they had Remington 9mm; boxes and boxes!

And then the clerk told me it was priced $30 a box...for practice ammo...for 50 rounds. He said it thinks it is a pricing error. I said "no ship", and walked away.

What the...?:mad:
 
Here in California we are looking at $15.95 for a 50 box of 9mm american eagle. $33.95 for the 9mm winchester 100 box. Both range ammo.
 
Definitely high. Winchester WB 100 round pack is $22 here - Federal last time I bought (3 weeks ago) was $9.50 per 50, which was actually cheaper than the 100 round value pack of Winchester.
 
my local wally world had ooodles of federal for $9.95 for a 50ct

i bought some wwb for $23 (100ct) and change last week

prices are still going up :(

You give little info. Were do you live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: FL, Miami?

Maybe there is a new tax on ammo, like there is cigar's. One place in this country if you buy a $00.25 cigar there is a $1 tax. on each. Don't quote me on that because I'm just making a point and don't have excact features

I'm paying about $3.80 a box (50 rounds) right now

Sorry, calling BS on this; You mean you're reloading, right? and not figuring in the cost of brass and your time right? If not, where are you from and when is the last time you bought 9mm? Even before the ammo shortage, the best prices on 9mm in Kansas were in the $8/50 range.

Ammoman.com, generally a good barometer, has freaking Wolf listed at $239/1000; that's $11.95 for 50! The best I've seen for ages is an internet buy I made a month back from a tip that netted American Eagle for $9.95...and it was all gone in a day or two.

If you're really getting cartridges of 9mm for $3.80/50, please let the rest of the shooters here in on it......and if you're reloading, then please state it....before I have a coronary.
 
in the WW where i live, its 9.50 a box of 50 for federal, but they limit you to 2-6 boxes at a time depending on where you go.

academy has remington and monarch at 12 a box, and that stuff is readily available, and i dont think they have a limit on that anymore
 
i live in charlotte, but travel a large part of NC for my job. i was in mocksville (a town about the size of my high school), and i went to walmart...saw a 250 round box of 9mm listed at $50.

i should've bought it, but figured i would find something back in the big city.

no dice...ended up spending $35 for a 100 round box at the range :mad:
 
My cost for reloads is about $ 6.25 per box of 50 for 124 gr FMJ bullets ...in 9mm ( with current cost of components ). My personal cost is less - because I bought several cases of primers, etc below current market levels ...and that must be what Sturmgewehre meant ...

Time isn't really a factor / my progressive press(Dillon 650 with a case feeder) puts out 20 boxes an hour ( 1,000 rounds ) easily .... so to load a box is way less than 5 min ( if the press is setup and ready to run ).....

When I setup to load one caliber / I usually load 50 - 75 boxes and then store them for use ....break the press down, clean and lube everything...then setup for the next caliber...and repeat..
 
I saw that too, we had it here as well. It's JUST that box. I have no idea what's special about it, but it's only that specific box. All the other boxes are still normal priced when they show up.
 
For 30$...I'll pass on the buried treasure. And it's just plain 'ole FMJ. The only thing we noticed about it was that it specifically says "pistol" on the box, none of the other 9mm stuff specifically says it.
 
Yup, I'm reloading. Why would I figure in the cost of brass when it's free? I haven't bought brass in 15 years.

The point is, if you shoot a bunch, reload. Why would you pay as much as 4 times as much for factory practice ammo? The cost of a reloading machine will pay for itself in the first year or less.
