The most insane ammo price I have ever seen

[The Lone Haranguer]

I saw a box of 20 rifle cartridges for $140 yesterday at Cabela's, but it was .30-.378 Weatherby Magnum. I would venture to guess that most Weatherby Magnum owners are handloaders.

Not to poop on anyone's parade...but WalMart's ammunition prices are going up April 1st. (From "Linda" the ammo queen at my local WalMart)

--Also--Linda gives me 10% off if I buy a thousand rounds at a time. You guys ask your local Wallys for that? I don't know if it's standard or not...

I bought a 500 round bulk pack of CCI .22 LR at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday: $13.99

Posts: 537 This is why i bought 4400 rounds of federal bulk pack .22 at walmart for 12 bucks ahwile back. Going to a big gun show in about 7 hours, hoping on finding some cheap mosin ammo, or anything cheap for that matter. I have started to discourage people from getting into shooting because its addicting and expensive, not a good combination.

At some point it will get so bad that i will probably just sell all my guns and pour it all into fishing or something else. At this rate, investing in guns is sort of like investing in real estate, prices are going up and up and up...

Ah yes, blame it on ol G.W. huh? Well im guessing you are ignorant to the fact that the opposite in both elections would have jacked up ammo prices ON PURPOSE as a backdoor attempt to stop our right to bear arms. Maybe you haven't heard of the bill that wanted to introduce a fifty cent tax on .22LR bullets, and i mean on each separate round. Luckily for you it was shot down (no pun intended)... I suppose you are just one of the many sheeple that have been indoctrinated by the hate speech of the Left. In the words of Jim Quinn, you need to "grow up." But hey, i guess the hard headed need to be hit a little harder sometimes...

You certainly have your opinion. However I thought this was The High Road. Why the name callin and personal bashing ?

I happen to think the wars ongoing for 5 years have contributed greatly to the price, and availability, of powder, bullets, primers and ammunition of all sorts.

That's my personal opinion and I'm going to stick too it ... all your personal bashing will not alter it. If you look hard, I did not blame G.W. ... he did what he said he was going to do ... go to war ... the blame I put on those that voted for him twice. Stop bitching about prices ... you vote for 'Outsourcing' and you get what goes along with it.

Interesting remarks here, about 2/3 way through the article, re: ammo prices:

Maybe i didn't follow, "The High Road" but don't take it personally thats just the way i sound through the internet.

Stop bitching about prices ... you vote for 'Outsourcing' and you get what goes along with it.

Didn't vote in either of the last two elections.... You still fail to realize that there the alternative to having G.W in office would have been worse. Why don't you try moving to England, then maybe you'll see the forest for the trees.

he did what he said he was going to do

I may be incorrect but it sounds as if you say it as though he WANTED to go to war, even before 9/11. Maybe you would rather have thousands civilians (possibly including yourself) killed through jihadist attacks than have higher ammunition prices. By the way i hope you know that thats not the only factor that contributes to the higher prices.
