Went to Walmart today. Usually a mistake, but I went by the outdoors section and noticed that 9mm ammo went up to $18.88, up two buck from their last price increase just 3 months ago. Prices on 40 S&W and 45 ACP also went up, looks like a buck each.
I haven't been to Sportsman's Warehouse, Cabela's or any local gun shops in a couple of weeks, but online and catalog prices have also gone up, considerably. Blazer Brass is up about 4 bucks in one place. I know copper, and hell all metals have risen in price over the past few years, but ammo manufactures are almost as bad as the gas companies.
Three years ago, you buy 45 ACP ammo for 10 bucks for 50 rounds, now it's 22 bucks--120 % more. Even the 525 round bricks of 22 LR are up to 14 bucks, about 40% increase. Add to this, almost all the ammo makers are selling their cheap stuff for the same prices... all their "premium" ammo for similar prices, seems like price fixing.
