I remember back in '06, when I was just starting into the shooting scene (pistols mainly; I thought I would have no "need" for a rifle), Blazer aluminum 9mm 115gr. was 4.99/50 at Academy. I had to get friends to buy pistol caliber ammo because I was underage.
Now that I'm 21, the same box is 9.99/50. Over double the price!
This isn't fair. I turn 18, and gas prices go up. I turn 21, and ammo prices go up.
Buy it cheap, stack it deep. I knew that even back then but didn't have the financial resouces to back it up.
I bought a few cases for 3.69 per 50. I should have bought 5K or so but I was reloading at the time and an ammo snob. It was clean and high velocity. I can only look back in shame.
