It's not just CTD. Local dealers are doing such things as charging $1/rnd for 223/556. Again, my price is about 40 cents/rnd. But...they have to bring in X dollars / month to stay in business and they can't get any product. Soooo...they raise the prices on the things they DO have. Crazy times...

Dubious Don #56333 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 You're right Phantom, its not just CTD but they are a bit over the top LOL. In 2016 I was getting Aguila super extra, the red/gold for 45.99 a brick and happy to have it. In Feb I was paying 26.99. At the shop I used to work at they're pricing is up about 20% reflecting what they are getting it for. My buddy's getting whitebox (federal I think) for 19/bx and selling 25/bx. Geez, back in the day I was buying ammo for the department and it was far less LOL. Used to get that Winchester/IMI 55gr M193 for 43 bucks a case of 1000...shipped LOL. Gold dot was running about 300 a case. This isn't the first "run" and it won't be the last but it's the first one I remember that NICS broke records every month for this year. And the best part of that is all my buddies who are still in the training game say that is going like gangbusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 60 cents per round that is 3 times the typical price listed for Aguila subsonic & target ammo on ammoseek.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy from price gougers. Cheaper than Dirt did the same thing the last time there was a run on ammo. When the rush is over and prices go back to normal, I'll stock up again but it won't be from Cheaper than Dirt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Raising the price is one thing. My understanding (not personal experience) is during previous crises CTD cancelled orders that had previously been made at normal prices then immediately jacked the price way up.

Ramblin Gambler Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 22 super extra? Is that like 22 LR +p+ that can only be fired from Rugers or is it a whole nuther caliber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of my rifles it chronographs at about 1070FPS. (CCI MiniMags go 1100+FPS) The blue gold super extra is standard velocity and isn't copper washed. Poofier than the red/gold. My preferred brands are Winchester or Federal. I'll also use Remington but R-P ammo of any type give me a rash LOL, but I'll shoot whatever works and is cheap.
