I correspond regularly with a couple of shooters in Europe. For years they have been moaning about the prices they pay for ammunition, and telling me how lucky we Americans are for the cost of ammunition in the United States.
I found that I need to get up to speed on Microsoft Teams, which I have never used. Today I installed the free version on my computer. One of the friends in Europe has it because his wife uses it for red Cross meetings (she's some kind of a RC volunteer coordinator, or something). He had never used it, so he fired up a test meeting so we could both kick the tires a bit.
We were on for an hour and forty-five minutes, just playing with features and getting caught up on "stuff" in between. At one point the discussion turned to ammunition. I looked up some "sale" prices from the web site of an ammo dealer I regularly get e-mails from. The prices ***ON SALE*** for bulk 9mm pistol ammo -- not great ammo, either, stuff like Blazer Brass and PMC -- were about 30 to 40 percent higher than the prices he pays in Europe.
I'm not sure which of us was more amazed.
