I don't think the government should shut down or punish Cheaper than Dirt. I just don't shop there. Choice is good. Choose wisely.

Be safe.

I never pay the highly inflated prices. I have paid more than normal prices when I needed to, but only bought enough for the range trip or whatever.

Try to slowly stock up over time so I don?t have to pay these crazy prices.

I reload so it's a moot point. While i'd like to have more components, what i have will work. If the National Shelter in Place comes this week, as expected. That $0.40 will look rather cheap, to some.

What i find interesting is, for all the condemnation of (i'd never run that shit in my gun) steel case ammo. There's nothing in stock, anywhere.

Only from the gun snobs will you hear this. All those that don't shoot often think its a great way to stock up on a bunch. I just don't use it .223 chambered ARs and I stopped putting it thru my cans as it seems to cake on residue a lot faster than better ammo.

Plus, why buy brass when the SHTF..won't be time to reload it :)

I believe it was last Friday PSA had 9mm at .30 per round, sold out in a couple of hours.

I've over paid for .22, because that amounts to an extra $10 on a box of 300-500 rounds.

Picked up some 45 range ammo a couple days ago average price of $20/ box of 50.

If anyone wants to pay those prices, let me know. I won’t price gouge, just charge the market rate ;).

Are you saying yay or nay for steel? I can't figure it out.

I buy steel 2 to 1 over brass in 9mm and 223. My AR's run it fine and accuracy is decent.

Supply and demand causes prices to increase/decrease and that will not change. People are free ask anything they want for a product and you are free to pass on that product if it's more than you want to pay. Others may want or need the product more than you and they should have the choice and ability to make any purchase. We are talking about products which are not necessary for life such as insulin or an Epipen. The price of gasoline rises and falls, gold rises and falls, and real estate is at an ridiculous level in Colorado. I'm embarrassed by many of the posts and outrageous statements, many made by lour long time forum members. Many people were did not have the insight as some of you and they didn't create a stock pile of ammo while the prices were low and they should be free to make a decision and decide if they want to pay the current prices that ammo. Why are members of this forum speaking poorly and embarrassing our own loyal members? You are free to pass if you don't want to pay higher prices, knowing you were smart enough to stock up while prices were surprisingly low. People are afraid and many are changing and entering the community of firearm ownership for the first time and they are paying a higher price for their guns and ammunition. Gun owners should be happy that our membership is expanding and not attacking our own members. We should all be supporting each other and stick together as firearm owners and forum members. Some of you should be ashamed for your posts and disrespectful comments.

For the most part, I think steel-cased ammo gets a bad rap. I shoot it in pretty much everything I have and I've never had any more problems with steel than I have with brass. If it's cheap, I'll buy it and shoot it.

ETA: Forgot... I had a Mini-30 that wouldn't shoot military steel stuff apparently because the primers were too hard. It would shoot some fine...like Silver Bear. It was pretty ammo finicky. I sold it.

I've had two stuck cases with steel stuff in ARs. Keeping things wet tends to alleviate the problem.

Just saw this on another community forum if anyone's interested:

Didn't seem like a bad deal to me considering.

Sometime last year, as part of a broader conversation, my wife asked me, "So how much ammo do we have?" My reply, "Enough." Which of course is a lie because you can't have too much, as long as you are ambulatory. But I haven't felt a need to rush out and buy more. Same with TP.

Yes.

I'm still waiting for someone to list the ever-changing 'approved prices' for each popular caliber so that if I decide to sell on the forum, I do not get labeled as a price gouger as my for sale post disappears. Otherwise, it's just not worth the risk.
03-22-2020, 20:35
MrPrena

Just list it 10-25% lower than what Sportsmans/Cabelas is selling it for. They don't gouge like ctd does.
Looks like that is even high for unpopular 40sw.
