FWIW guys,

I am right now in Oklahoma and bought some rage rounds yesterday - yep Federal FMJ was up to $11.99 from $10.45.

For you Valdosta area types - T3 Sporting Goods has RWS 9mm Luger, 115 gr, FMJ for 9.99 per 50 - or at least they did a couple of weeks ago. They always beat WalMart on that but, believe it or not, this was one instance in which WalMart has the US made product and so I tended to buy it for the extra 46 cents. The quality of RWS (Swiss made IIRC) is fine for range use.

Yep same here. I just cleaned out the walmart down the road from me. Got quite a few boxes of federal .45s (which I noticed they started using smaller primers GHEY) and I bought some more .40 and 9mm. Like a few said, prices keep going up while my pay stays the same... well at least atm.

You know the small primers are part of the non toxic ammo ....... it really is a pain in the arse.

I had read an article a few weeks ago. And in the article it was stated that it was either Winchester or federal would have an increase in price, on or about July 1st. The reasoning was since the price of all the different metals has increased, they would have to pass the increase to it's customers. What always bothers me is, it seems that when the companies go up in price because of the metals price increase, then why don't the price come down when the price of metals goes down. I reckon it's big corporation greed....And to answer the original question, yes the price of ammo at our local Wal-Mart went up also....Ray

Start rolling your own.

This how you do it....Don't even need anything fancy, all I have is a single stage press and I can put out about 200 rounds an hour when I get in the motions....That reminds me, its time to restock on loading supplies...lol

You get higher quality ammo by hand loading too.
