In regards to ammo....

[chip5244]

I watch and read the ammo for sale and I'm constantly baffled that almost every listing for ammo is ALWAYS overpriced! Does no one do their research before making an ammo listing? You know ammo is really a depreciating asset. Unlike guns that are "mostly" made in limited quantity (Glock may be an exception, haha) ammo is made everyday and by the billions!

As an example and using ammoseek, anyone can easily find the selling price of 9mm, right now about .20 cents per round (some free shipping) that is newly made remanufactured. But for some reason "you" think your 9mm purchased 15 years ago and stored only you know how, is worth .30-.40 cents per round. I just don't get it....

I know anyone reading this has a large quantity of ammo so I'm preaching to the choir here but damn its madding to see people trying to sell paw-paws 1950 30-30 for $2 per round cause it must be worth that because the neighbors friend told them so and they know because they collect old cars and they go up in value every decade.

Ok, rant off and stepping off my soap box....but seriously guys do your homework before selling ammo.

CHIP5244, I'll be watching to see if there are any "long guns" in your collection.
As to the survey, I roll my own, that way I know exactly what bullet, what powder, how much, and what primer I'm about the "drop the hammer" on.

I'm looking forward to you listing the 9mm at 0.20 cents per round.

The only time anyone should be buying overpriced ammo is if there is some kind of crisis and prices are up and they have failed to properly prepare ahead. But if they have properly prepared ahead in the first place, they won't run into this issue.... Stack 'em deep, stack 'em cheap. Or pay later.

I roll my own and rarely buy factory ammo, but if I do, it's generally factory-fresh (other than military surplus).

I use wikiarms for judging pricing.

My biggest issue is everytime I hand load a batch I run out back and blast it out.

I only load for my revolvers (and 45) and hunting rifles anymore. I’m not getting any younger and I’d rather shoot than cast or reload.
Only bulk ammo I buy is 9/40/223/shotgun.

And here it is at .14

I just did the same search and this is what I got.

 

[Viking1204]

For a while I couldn't find Hornady .35 Remington or the 30-30 FTX. Found the .35 used and stumbled on 5 boxes of the 30-30 FTX in Bass Pro one day and bought all 5 boxes. Those are my two main hunting rounds so good to go now!

And here it is at .14

If you read the reviews, the first business listed sounds like a scammer. The 2nd are reloads. The third, I’ve never heard of that brand.
I’m happy when I find Blazer Brass on sale for $12 or $13 a box at Academy.
Usually when I find it cheaper online the shipping kills the deal.
But I don’t shoot as much as a lot of you guys.

Yep. Bulk and not too accurate. Glad fedbois buy this stuff. Every kind of magtec ammo I've shot is like 5-10 moa.

And it’s steel case.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

And it’s steel case.

The brass case sucks too. YMMV.

 

[Senojeelnodnarb]

If you go to check out is $18 shipping for one box. $30 for 10 boxes. Please god, throw some new 9mm ammo for cheap on the forum, I'll even pick it up at your doorstep.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

I've got some democrats only or fedboi self cleaning ammo. Just shoot and put it back in the safe. No cleaning required. Great for the TRUE hamas supporter.

 

[Bowhntr6pt]

The brass case sucks too. YMMV.

I've shot a fair amount of 10mm and .308 brass-cased, no complaints, I like the ,308 "CBC" marked brass for reloading.

No your biggest issue is you didn’t make enough when you’re hammering it out. I’m the opposite, I make too much and get tired of shooting first…
