Like I did last month at $5 a box!

where are you finding a good price on 45 acp ???...jim

Jim, I don't think I've seen anything cheap in at least 2 months in stores.
Monitor your version of the Thrifty Nickel, Pennysaver, etc.
Ammoman.com has been a consistent source of affordable ammo for years, but there nearly dried up.

Between what I've purchased over the years, and what I've cast &/or reloaded, I probably have 5-7k rds of .45 ACP (and equally set in my other cals), so I'm not as concerned as many are.

This "shortage" has been going on for months -
The sporting ammo mfrs have converted over to military contracts (most of the Federal Arsenals have long been closed) and are scrambling to keep up with military demand.
Metals prices have (had) skyrocketed.
Politically . . . well, you know.

Basically, if it has not been part of your lifestyle & awareness to keep that part of your pantry stocked, it can be a shock to do so now.
But, then again, who'da thunk, 10-12 years ago, that bottled water would cost more than gas per gallon?

Hey Russ,
Is the inspection related ammo for client checks with a higher than normal rubber content or those beady little red eyes lookin' back at ya in those Idyho crawls ? ;>)

[Russell Spriggs]

I'm more concerned about beady little red eyes that have white powder on their attached nostrils, TJ!
