at a local gun shop ...prices....9mm 50 rd. 18$

380.  70$      very decent owner of shop has not changed his markup in years.....distribution gouging 

Picked up some crappy aluminum case 9mm CCI for a guy that wants some training. Does not want to pay to use mine. I am not gouging but said I will look. Still no stock around. Have relative who is a hoverer. Has the timing down to a T. I laughed at him cause he hovers to get his 2 box limit. Farm fleet had for 11.99 for a 50 rd box. Hard ball. Not sure what they were before the increase. I say say they should 6.99 a box. Lol. The hoverer reports only a few boxes at a time being put out  

I have two boxes (50 rounds) of Remington steel shot, 12 gauge, 3", 1 3/8oz in shot size T. I have no use for it, thinking of putting it on the trading post, maybe trade for some 9mm or 7.62 x 39.

Looking for opinions on what would be a fare deal for both parties.

I've seen 5.56 55gr and 62gr and also .223 55gr on shelves quite a few times at several places for the last 3 months, generally $12 a box. Handgun rounds very seldom. Almost all of the ammo I've seen has been at places that limit the amount you can buy. I'm stocked until the next millennium for the couple calibers I shoot monthly so I leave it for the guys who need it.

Mariner,

Yes. It was a few weeks ago. But I bought it while I could. Check places you wouldn’t traditionally purchase ammo. Big box sporting good stores (Cabelas) would be my absolute last choice right now for buying firearms & ammo. 

The .45 ammo I bought yesterday was $.46/rd. Online right now on AmmoSeek is $.79. 

The .44 ammo I bought was $.70/rd. Online is $1.10/rd  

Not every retailer is jacking up prices. Just gotta look around. 

Ice, .20/rd is $10/box of 50 for 9mm?

That's pre 2020 pricing. Is that local or ordered not including shipping. Best on line pricing I can find running various search sites is .50/rd.

Cabela's did have some at $15/bx (.30/rd) local a couple weeks ago.

Ice I know there will be increases but I did buy a lot over the years so I am good. .17 cents I believe these days are gone. I still I think I was over paying then. Keep us posted. 

Hunter,

Nope. I’m aware of what I bought. The .44 wasn’t in the pic 

icefitchin  -  You either bought the wrong caliber or you typed wrong description.

My understanding from talking to Sporting Good personnel at several stores it is due to a component shortage, mainly primers.
