I hate to say it, but I don't think the prices will go back to normal anytime soon. You have various areas defunding the Police. That is only going to lead to more crime/looting and causing more people to buy guns and ammo. It's times like this that you just need to reload and keep yourself stocked up on reloading supplies. Biggest bottleneck right now is primers. Only a few manufacturers make them so they sell out fast. I managed to snag 10K small pistol primers this week and they were sold out within 10 minutes of me placing my order. If I had gotten my cup of coffee first, I would have lost out.
I noticed the same thing at the Range I am a member of. They are limiting ammo purchases, but the number of new employees was very noticeable.I went to my Local LGS yesterday and the place was bare. A few pistols and a few bolt action rifles. Any ammo left was ridiculous prices. What was interesting was the fact that I have been going to this shop which has a indoor range for years. Use to be a wait to shoot,now no problem now to just walk in and no one at the range. Very few people in the store shopping.
And what was weird was that there were so many new Employee's that I have never seen and all the old face's gone. I asked what happened to all the employees and the new guy started to tell me that most quite and have taken new jobs.
I get the feeling the one's that have quite and have been there for years, might see a writing on the wall for the future.
I'm not sure about powder and primers as I'm well stocked and haven't ordered it in a while. I recently ordered 9mm and 40 bullets from RMR and haven't noticed an increase. 9mm is on backorder from them, but they're accepting backorders.
They went up a bit at RMR this summer, like $.01 / per bullet or so, but still reasonable.
Still, availability is an issue (not for me, I am well stocked ATM) with powder and primers too.
I backordered 2000 rounds of 9mm from RMR not too long ago. They were delivered yesterday. For anyone looking to purchase from them I'd recommend placing the backorder as opposed to waiting until the product shows as being in stock.
Welcome to the forum!
6 months ago, 10c a round was pretty much the going rate. Now, its 20-25c per shot.
I expect these prices and availability to stay the norm at least until the election. If Trump wins, and all out civil war does not erupt, prices will plummet. If Biden wins, well, you will probably regret not selling a kidney to procure a few cases, even at these prices.
Yeah, I think someone's math was off. 20 cents ($10 for a box of 50) has always been the standard, both locally in stores where I live, and online. Hell, a couple years back I set an alert notice for brass ammo under 16 cents, and forgot I did until I got a notice for some of the Geco @ $154 a case. That was the lowest I've seen in a long time. I might have got some S&B for cheaper, back when I bought my very first handgun at a show in something like 2000 or so, but even then it wasn't 5 bucks for 50.I've NEVER seen 9mm that low, since I started shooting in 2009.
20c/rnd is a decent price. below that is getting into the great deal category. pricing depends on the manufacturer as well. CCI or Federal at sub 20c shipped is a pretty good buy all day long.

Don't get wrapped up in brands when it comes to practice ammo, I buy the cheapest stuff I can find and if I find it doesn't shoot well, I switch to the next cheapest option.I'm a new 9mm owner and I am trying to determine what is a good price for 1000 rounds of 9mm practice ammo. Everything online is either sold out, or the price is super inflated.
What is a good price to start with for say, 1000 rounds of 115 or 124gr. American Eagle.
16 cents pre tax and shipping sounds about right for recent times, to me. I remember not finding anything in a LGS for that, and scouring various sites online trying to find free shipping, or the occasional few that didn't slap tax on it.Again for me $.16 was a pretty regular number for brass cases range fodder in 2019-Pre Covid 2020.

I noticed I had a couple cases of either MEN or Geco NATO white box in my sgammo cart, 154 apiece, unpurchased. They charge tax and shipping, so it would have been more for the final total; so that tells me I looked elsewhere. Brownells wasn't charging tax and occasionally ran free shipping and 20 off 200 deals, and if I recall, that came out slightly better at 180 a case. Same with Targetsportsusa. And I have plenty, so while I want more and now would jump to add it, at the time it wasn't urgent.
