Supply and demand. 40 has not been hit nearly as hard by the drought so it stands to reason its prices would move less. If their raw materials have gone up in price, they need to charge more. And if they stocked up on 40 at a decent price while their stock of 9 has had to be rebuilt at contemporary pricing, well then kudos to them for not arbitrarily kicking up their price of 40. Also, in my experience, they make better ammo than the budget lines from the big names and do it at a better price.

Just shoot what's cheaper. I brought two pistols with me there to shoot. A 9mm and a .45. They had bags of 100 rounds of reloads for sale. 9mm was $44 and .45 was $42. Guess what I was shooting all day long.

i understand the whole supply and demand argument. bottom line its more of a mind blowing concept that 40 is cheaper then 9mm. Also myself and a lot of other cal-gunners do not like what LAX is doing and how they are handling themselves. this just adds to it.

so what you are saying is they were selling 45 cheaper then 9mm...

My mistake. It was reload .45 for $42 and new box 9mm for $45-$46, I can't remember. But yes. It was cheaper to shoot my .45. If you are local, check out Rettings in CC, they have 9mm from $15 to $17 for a box of 50. I also found remington value pack of 100 for $31 at Big 5.

i have my stock pile of 9mm i purchased back when it was $165 per 1k. Ill wait for it to go down to $200 per 1k before i buy again but those are not bad prices for these troubling times.

wow, expensive for reloads...Glad i got that .40 SW!

Ever try Field Time in Stanton? Their prices have have stayed pretty decent and their staff and facilities are the best I know of.

Wanna know what really sucks?? For the price of 500rds now, you were getting a 1,000rds prior to this mess.

[Legasat]

That is good philosophy. Vote with your wallet!

eh the nature of the disaster, do your homework, get the best price, and deal with it. It's only going to get worse unless you move out of here.

exactly i remember when LAX was selling 9mm 1k for 160 bucks. and that was less then a year ago. Mind blowing how things can double.
