I was given a small crate of misc. ammo. I have 1 box of 6.5 Jap, Norma, 139gr, soft point. Also a bunch of other cals I have no need for including 45acp, 222 Rem, 243 Rem, 44mag, 357 Sig, and some 41 Rem mag.Tex1961 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 8:14 am I'll say, I'm not seeing it. Using ammoseek, 9mm, brass, new is still running around 25 cents per round. Been that price for several months now. Oh, I guess a few calibers have come down but nothing like pre pandemic and probably will never go that low again.
I'm just starting into reloading, mostly for my Milsurp rifle calibers. You want to talk expensive, wow.. try to get some 6.5 or 7.7 jap.. Carcano or some 8x56r. Some of that stuff is going upwards of 3 bucks per round...

I'm in the market for some .380 and haven't seen any "bargains" on Ammoseek for it for quite a long time. Sitting for just under .25 per round plus shipping now. I'll keep waiting.puma guy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 3:06 pm Did a limited search on Ammo Seek and gun-deals and Wiki Arms. There were some reman 9mm for as low as 18.5¢ per round on the Ammo seek site. Cheapest new ammo on Ammo Seek was PMC Bronze $9.99/bx of 50. Wiki Arms has a Speer TMJ 115gr $13.99/bx of 100 or 14¢ per round. No idea what the shipping costs are on any of these.
