I've seen some sold out and slight price increases. Not sure why people are buying ammo for a flu, but people are generally stupid.

Shootin them trespassors that are going to infects you with the light beer virus. Stand strong dark ales!!! You can have my light beer but never my ambers!

Seriously though I haven't even notice a budge in prices. I tend to track the prices a lot locally, because when the snow melts I have a good stock built up. Them guns are not going to feed themselves.

One reason is we are at a point of lowest prices in recent years, read not 15 years ago low prices but it is now considered good prices. I was surprised to see .40 up in sales by 410% though.

went to the range today. Good times! The great thing about a Pandemic of Zombie Death Flu is that people will be too sick for you to need your ammo.

Just received 500 rounds of 9mm from Bass Pro that I ordered a few days ago. Like $92 with tax and free shipping. Had several gift cards to use so put it into ammo. I see Cheaper Than Dirt is once again price gouging. $600 for 500 rounds of NATO 9mm. And some of the normal B/S/T sites have the price gougers as well. Bottom feeders.

If you waited till something like this to get ammo, you are not prepared. Find a low limit that you are happy with and stay there. when you shoot replace what you shoot.

You will always be prepared!!

And also allows you to hit things on sale while there is no panic or pressure. Walmart was always a convenient place to pick up a few boxes when the need arises. That is over now of course so online sources are a good go-to and I’ve found prices that I’m happy with. Which doesn’t include CTD who is actively price gouging.
