Something I've observed locally. Every gun shop that is not in some sort of chain seems to raise their prices to ridiculous amounts. For example.
-Off the shelf .223/5.56, Brass Cased 55 Grain FMJ, $12.99+/20 Rounds
-Steel cased .223. $8-10/20 Rounds.
-.22lr is most always $0.10 Per Round or more, even plinking stuff.
-7.62x54R Steel Match by Hornady. $32 per 20
-8mm Mauser MATCH by PPU. $25/20 Rounds (normally costs around $15-17 online)
There will be a few exceptions, reloading components aren't usually jacked up this high, most guns are priced reasonably/semi-reasonably, but there are exceptions to this exception.
And the worst part is these were prices are from the most popular gun store(s) in the area, and every "wabbit hunter" (if you get my gist) that goes in to buy his .22's and .30-30's thinks they're reasonably priced (and he ends up paying $40 for a single box of Federal .30-30 Ammo and 100 .22's). I for one don't want to be gouged out of my money so easily, and I hope fewer people stop giving them their business. Okay, Rant off now, haha.
So, feel free to answer the poll and I'd like to hear some examples of prices in your area.
