Yesterday Cabela's had brass cased, boxer primed Fiocchi 115 Gr. FMJ 9 MM for $9.99 a box with no limit. I bought 6 boxes. I didn't really need it, but I had a $10.00 off coupon so that knocked it down to just $8.32 a box. There were people carrying cases of the stuff up to the registers. They had 2 pallets of it in the aisle. And I don't doubt several more in the back, because they left the pallet jack right next to it.

Aha!  Palmetto State Armory just put 55 grain American Eagle 223 out on "Black Friday" sale for $299 today.  The 500 round Tula spam can in 223 that just came in...still $189. 

This is the new normal...maybe a bit high.  However, most of their other sale prices reflected their costs from weeks ago....to their credit still cheaper than many of their competitors were. 

The reality of lower ammo prices still doesn't appear to have sunk in....that or AR component pricing.

I did see MagPul mags under $10 somewhere...did not say which generation but it looked like G2 to me.

Sportsmans Guide had the Wolf 5.56 "military" (un-coated, vs the WPA which is poly coated steel) on sale for $105 per 500.... which is down from the $130 I paid last month (that is with the 10% mark-up for non-member and free shipping).

Walmart has the TulAmmo for $5.84 per box.

Complete AR-15 with forward assist for just $469.00. I remember when they were more than a Ruger Mini 14. Now they're half as much. Prices are plummeting.

My Google Foo couldn't bring up anything particularly bad, or good, about it.  Been around for a while as I find comments going back to 2009.  Back then ammo was in short supply and  it was priced at $325.  But then so was most 9mm if you could find it.

Primers, especially Federal Small Pistol are scarce.

Just got an email flyer from Brunos and they had Fed 100s so I bought 5k.  Trouble is, with shipping and hazmat they're 5.1 cents apiece, not my normal 3.  At least I have some in stock now as I was getting low.

Yep...... just wait 'til the week after Christmas and the seasonal buying fuss is over.


Sportsman's Guide sent an email today advertising an Anderson AR complete for $449 (upper ships direct to you and lower to FFL).


They have been selling for around $525 to $600 (depending on brand) for the last six months through a few small-operation local FFLs in my area....I calculate those prices to also begin to drop.

Been on the notification list of several vendors for Federal Small Pistol Primers.

Got an email from Reloading Unlimited that they had these in stock.  They sent the email at 2:44pm and I got it a 4:44pm.   Went directly to their web site and "Out of Stock.  No Backorder."
