As the name implies, I am a relative rookie here. But when I got my Taurus 38SP I could get ammo for $9.99 for the standard box of 50. Now I can hardly find the ammo and when I do, it is around $15.99. However my last two visits to Cabelas and Sportsmans Warehouse they were out except for the $30/box 25 round variety. So my first question is, why are warehouses almost completely out of 38SP lately? Both of them each carried more than a dozen such caliber revolvers (far more than 357s or 44s) so people are obviously still buying them at a good rate.
The guy working in the ammo department at Cabelas couldn't or wouldn't say, but he did tell me that they are 95% sure prices on all ammo will go up April 1st and that everyone needs to stock up now. Maybe you are all aware of this but thought I'd point it out anyway.
I know that the price of metal is continually going up as they are re-opening previously closed copper mines in this state, as well as the price to truck deliveries, but are these price increases justified? Or is it like the gas companies where they are making record profits while gouging us?
