I’ve seen deals at under 25 cents/ round on ammoseek yesterday and today. They’re sold out before I can put them in my basket, but at least lower prices are starting to appear.

I asked our local Academy when the ammo truck comes. They told me which days. I show up before they open and walk in as the doors open. I pay about $11.99 - $13.99/ 50rd box of 9mm. I've bought thousands of rounds this way in the last few weeks. Also get .40 and .45 for about $.32/rd. Not great, but I'm able to get plenty of it this way.

No Academys near us. Wish they were. Looks like a decent chain.

Timing the delivery truck arrivals seems to be the best way. I'm not doing that, but it makes the most sense if you need a larger buy.

Our LGS/range is keeping us replenished so far at what are tolerable (barely) prices. The two boxes of 9 that we bought this morning to replenish a shoot were $14/ea. That may change as we creep into October. I have my ceiling where I just won't pay. Then we'll live off our ammo cabinet for a while.

You’re not the first person I’ve heard that from. Same with Cabelas dropping orders. The Federal was a surprise, but they use a third party for consumer sales. Same with Speer.

The ammoseek listings are not always straight, either. It happens occasionally that a really low price hangs at the top of the queue, when in fact the vendor has been sold out.

It’s the wild west of ammo out there right now.

I do feel bad for the new people and those who haven’t built up an ammo locker. A lot of people are just more casual firearm enthusiasts with a gun or two and don’t think about these things.

I’ll keep posting promising new listings on this thread as time permits.

Cabelas did this to me with a big 22 order. It does suck. Could have spent time looking for other 22 lr but I thought it was on its way.....

I received an email flyer from Cheaper Than Dirt last night. They're selling Armscor 9mm Luger for $60/box of 50, limit of 4 per customer. Federal Syntech is the same price, but you can only buy two boxes of that.

Cheaper than dirt has always been way overpriced. Bordering unethical in my opinion.

I tend to avoid retailers whose name sounds like it should be emblazoned on a used car lot. Not sure how I got on their mailing list.

If you have an honest family-owned LGS, that in my experience is still your best bet for ammo at reasonable prices, even now. For those of us who do, we are blessed.

But I know not everyone has one of those to depend on. That is why I have been posting some online vendor sources as they pop up. Some are priced near or at ugly. But it remains in stock, at least for a little while.

Price is one thing. A big thing for many of us. But for some, they can't find any, at any price.

Lots of greedy marketeers are looking for fleecees these days.

I got my order from Federal yesterday. It said 10-15 working days when I ordered it, I received it in 17 working days, not bad service.
