Ammo prices up again

[FCinCA]

I went to Wally World today and stopped by the sporting goods section. To my surprise ammo prices are up once again. I saw the UMC 250rd value pack of .45ACP to be 96.97, and Federal Champion .40 S&W for 16.97 per 50rds. Add tax and man is that an increase. I wasn't looking to buy as I have plenty. I just like to see what the market is doing.

The fact that you're surprised, umm, surprises me.

I've noted WM prices have risen but I see mail order stuff actually decreasing a bit-

Someone was advertising 1k of 9mm shipped for 199 -

Usually Wally World doesn't get impacted. I'm not "surprised" but it does raise a brow.

Yeah, just came from WallyWorld in Milpitas and noticed their Federall Champion 9mm finally raised up in price from $10.47 to $11.97. $1.50 price increase. So two boxes of Federal is only about $1 less than a 100 rnd box of WWB. The day before while coming from the Central valley and stopped by the Los Banos Super Walmart, they were still on the old prices of Federal Champion 50 rnds, $10.47, and WWB 100 rnds, $22.97.

Ammo bros to, went to get 250 reloads of .45 acp for 85 bucks... Now it's 100, that's a big jump if you ask me.....

Time to reload boys.... I bought not that long ago 500 pieces of brass and 1000 .45 lead bullets for $120 and large primers for $20 and I already had powder so for $140 im making 500 rounds x2 of .45

I just bought a 250 pack of UMC 9mm for $55 including tax. First factory ammo I've bought in quite some time. I need to work up a brass stash so I can start reloading 9mm.

Now don't get your tush wet but I do believe there's a second "Obama" scare here -

[FCinCA]

I don't even thing the Obama 2 uprising is part of this. When the MFG's noticed everyone that the price of raw material was increasing earlier this year, I didn't think Wally World would be in. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise....... Now for the Obama 2.

The problem is our dollar is weak and metals are high .

[Bill Steele]

Brass and lead going up? You ain't seen anything yet...

The problem is our dollar is weak and metals are high .

Correct.

Lets see, QE2 ended 12 days ago and in the most recent Fed minutes released today, a number of the voting members of the FOMC voiced the opinion that QE3 should be untaken.

If you are a debtor inflation is your friend. The Fed knows congress will never address its profligate ways. Inflation is the only way out.

Obama 2 will be another panic buy
