ammo shortage is the word of the daits fun to look at ammunition from factory offerings and what you can roll at home yourself. here is an interesting look.
30-30 remington 150 gr soft point core lokt 20 round box, 14.99 before tax
150 gr spcl bullet, 100 @ 21.99 .2199/1
30-30 remington bulk case 100@ 28.99 .2899/1
remington primers 6 1/2 small 1000@ 30.99 .03099/1
roughly .54079 cents for a round minus cost of powder.
roughly .7495 cents per round loaded from the factory during anual sale at the local super outlet hunting store.
a difference of .20871 cents per round to use for powder. or a difference of
4.1742 dollars to purchase powder for the first 20 rnd box of reloads you make.
also at the local super chain, it costs 86 cents,non sale, for a single round of 230 grain fmj 45 acp from umc. the bullet and case for that round using remington components is 114.95for bullets and cases using the price per 100
at cabellas.
the box at the store holds 250 rounds @.86 each, for a total of 215 dollars before tax. the discrepency of 100.05 dollars to allow for remington to pay for primer, powder, and assembling it.
question, is it really logical to assume that their is an actual shortage of ammunition if i can buy the scarce components that the factories are claiming cant be made fast enough for assembly into loaded ammo by said factories for sale to general public?y, yet this is interesting to compute.
