Scheels for the win again today. 5k of primers (mix of SP, SR and LR) and some other random items. They have limits in store but you can buy double limits online and pickup. They did have some ammo they were stocking as I was heading out but I didn't grab anything else. Wish they were a little closer to the house... They do tend to stock throughout the day from talking to them.

Was not that busy at all really. My first time in during lunch time roughly. Had never heard of Scheels before driving past it a few months back. It's not right near me so took this long to make my way back there and check it out.

So far they have been lucky for me. Outside of the primers at the store I was able to grab up a Dillon press earlier this week just by watching the site online for a few days for inventory. Free shipping and should be here tomorrow. Much better than waiting who knows how long for one via an order.

For those in DFW. If you haven't checked out Scheels you should. Pretty cool place and they were loading ammo onto the shelves every truck according to the stocker. Saw them putting out a good number of cases worth of 9mm, 38 and 45 at normal prices. Also had some primers in stock too. They are limiting how much you can buy but still good to have another option. For reference 9mm was right at $0.24 per for range rounds.

Wait, $0.24 is a "great price" and $0.30 is only if you are "hard up" price? That's a pretty narrow window.

Yes it is.

Everyone has to figure out their line in the sand. $0.30 isn't as bad as many prices I have seen lately so maybe hard up isn't the right term. If you need to stock up and have nothing else it is a great price considering. I might spend that for competition loads but not for regular bulk range ammo... at least for now. I have enough that it isn't painful yet and I'm buying to keep shooting. I can stop shooting if it gets too high or switch to 22 just for fun. My line in the sand right now to keep shooting is ~$0.25-26 per round for 9mm bulk. I reserve the right to move my line at any time

So academy by me had ammo this morning if you were in line when they opened the door. They had several bricks of 300 aguila and 500 wwb in 9mm. Then a bunch of fiochi 50rd boxes. Prices were all $0.24 per round or better. For today that's a great price.... Laughed at several people who turned up their nose at the fiochi boxes and walked on by but were grumbling there was no wwb left. No primers or powder today though...

If you are in midcities then 1800gunsandammo has 9mm s&b on the shelf for about $0.30 per box limit 3. I'm not buying at that price but if you are hard up they have it.

Ouch lately.... I'm only buying at near pre-covid prices and will wait it out at higher unless things get really bad... reasonable deals are still there if you can be patient and persistent... being at the ammo counter at the right time is key. Picked up several 500rd bricks of 115gr WWB 9mm about a week back for $0.26 per round. Not my preferred round but it'll work and the price is right to get us to the range for a few months....
