Local dealer $11.95 for 100 rds Americn Eagle / $24.95 for 200 rds Winchester White Box...
Are these recent prices? If so, you should go buy all you can afford. Those are the cheapest prices in the country for AE and WWB 9mm.

Prices in the rest of the country are about double that - and that's if you can find them.

as of when though? Any prices more then 2 weeks ago are void:smt088 but based on that price i'm guessing it has been several months since you bought.
 
just picked up a couple boxes of winchester white box(100 round) for $19.97 per box at walmart, i had to find out what time they usually stock the shelves just so i could get some before it was gone
 
Wallyworlds In Ohio...

Or at least the one I go to, down in Moraine/Kettering Ohio had WWB again today for $19.87/100 rounds, I got 3 boxes, so I'm good for awhile. They actually got more than 3 boxes in for once, I left 10 boxes for the rest of the shooters looking for ammo, and I'll likely "gift" one box I bought to my son so he can go shoot too.
 
wow! 100% increase!

I just paid 24 bucks for two boxes of american eagle...(50 per box)
looks to me like the standard price for ball hovers around $11/50 (low of $9 to high of $13)...
roll your own for about half that...

I was talking with a friend at Remington and he said they were at "maximum production".... I wonder how long it will take for the manufacturers to invest in additional capacity? (or even if it would pay for them!)

I wouldn't look for this to happen. Just as the prices for AR's are coming down due to reduced demand, ammo prices will probably do the same. If the manufacturers would staff up for present demand, they would have to lay off when the demand decreases. We're just going to have to do with what we can for the present. Just my .02.:smt033
 
yeah, I think your right tekhead1219!
I think that the bubble will pass and things will settle down. (so I hope!). At some point there's got to be an equilibrium!

Its funny, I am looking at AR's now because they are coming down... its something I've wanted and I couldn't justify it before... I'll probably still wait some more on that though! ;)
 
I was just at Wally world 2 weekends ago and they had stacks of 9's and 40's, no 45's, darn. I also went to Academy (local sporting goods store) and they had 2 S&W AR's selling for $899, but it will only take .223's, passed it up, they also had a Sig (very nice) for $1,290. Passed on it too. Not in a hurry to buy one. Still looking for an AR that is not gas operated. Had one scoped out in the gun show, but they wanted toooooo much for it.
 
I just picked up 4 boxes of 9mm at WMart this morning in Springfield IL. They were 8.97/box 50 (Blazer?). They had 12 boxes, and the salesman seemed suprised I didn't want the 6 box limit.

I explained that I was pretty sure the world wasn't going to end by next week, and I'll get along until the next shipment. He agreed, and told me he didn't know when he would actually have a full display case of ammo. I see not reason to perpetuate the "shortage" driven by goofballs who can't sleep at night with anything less than 20,000 rounds in the bedside table "just in case".

I've also bought a box at the indoor range (Eagle) for 16.99/50 and 4 boxes of Remington @16.97/50 at another local gunshop.

At the rate I shoot that should last at least a couple of months.
 
Was I getting screwed over at the range paying $15 for a 50 round box of range 9mm Luger 115 gr. TCJ? I don't know the brand name, I think they might just reuse the casings and such. Not sure.

I don't think you're getting screwed. It's a range, so it would cost more as a convenience, plus they had it! I would still look to bring my own anyway though!
 
9mm is hit and miss around here. Our 2 local walmarts have been out of stock for months everytime I check. Most of the gun shops are getting it in pretty regular now, usually at $13-$17 per 50 round boxes for FMJ.
