9mm Pricing

[tgunsmoke]

Hey guys...

I'm pretty new to this forum and a new gun owner (...still 4 days left until I can pick up my first gun) and when shooting, I've always just used other people's ammo and then paid them whatever they thought was fair. Now that I have my own gun I am buying my own ammo obviously.. My question is, is $15-17 per 50 rounds of 9mm reasonable given this market? I want to stock up so I'm trying to decide what to do. I placed an order with Cabela's for 250 rounds, (bought Remingtons UMC, Herters, and Federal) ended up being about $60 and I got free shipping.... I have no idea if that's a good deal or not.

It's a little high but not bade freedom munitions is a good source for pistol ammo.

If you reload, you can get it down to $6-7 per box of 50.

Keep an eye on gunbot.net its a good source for a bunch of retailers on who has the best deals.

Get whatever you can right now, as there isn't much in the way of being picky, currently...

If you reload, you can get it down to $6-7 per box of 50.

$4.75 if you bought frangables on sale, or 6.57 ($6.569) were my last 124gr plated reloads (w/current "retail" primer prices, not in bulk).

I average $5 a box for my reloads, I could bring it down more if I cast my bullets instead of using Xtreme

[Germz]

25-30 cents per round seems to be the going internet price currently.

Most of the ranges I go to (that sell ammo) sell it for around $19-20 per 50. If you keep an eye out on line, you can get it for less. You just gotta be fast.

Not that long ago, we could get it for $11-12 bucks a box. Politicians and their personal agendas suck!

$15-17 is about standard these days. Your Cabela pricing is good at $12 per 50. Find someone you can reload with and your costs will drop to $10-13 per 100.
