people are often wondering why gun shops have their ammo at
high prices. let me show you why. We got several boxes of ammo in this morning, that were ordered Feb 3rd. All back orders. These are our prices, what is today's version of wholesale, the price we pay. All these prices are plus shipping.
9mm FMJ...50 round box...$21.50
300 Win Mag... Federal 180 grain...$31.00
Fed 308...$27
5.56...100 round box...$63
So there are no more $10 9mm, or $5 a box for 5.56/223 and so on.
Most shops have a 25% mark up (a person can't live on that), so multiply those figures by 125 and add in a couple bucks for shipping and that is what most decent gun shops will price those items at. And that is no scalping.
