Just got an email from them and they have some ammo that they claim is IN STOCK!

Sweet Lord, you can beat all those prices elsewhere online. More like GrabYourMoney.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

They are certainly not, I can understand a price increase but that's insanity!

Good god, looks like they are starting to go the way as Cheaper than Dirt. Lets raise prices to insane levels.

Rape comes in different forms; attempted rape like this just might be the latest. Stand by to ram, folks!

Always gonna be gougers in a shortage, just dont feed it and the market will correct.

Like CTD years ago, Grab a Gun has now lost my business when pricing heads back down. I was a customer.
I have a very long memory and stand by my convictions.

Exactly , this will end and then stock up if you want to. Everything is overpriced now

Wait a minute.

Someone has ammo

They price it for the market

now they are rapists

Can't have it both ways guys. Either we are a capitalist society or we are a socialist society. You either pay the market price or you get your monthly allotment.

SPOILER ALERT***** Socialism gives you zero rounds in order to control you.

💯

I have adjusted my shooting to mostly slow fire bench rest shooting as a result of the current market. I have plenty of SHTF ammo but the only thing I have been purchasing in these times is .308WIN at about $2.20 a round for my bolt action rifles and wolf 7.62x39 et al for my commie sticks when I can find it for under $.50 per. I have very rarely been shooting with pistol cartridges (RE: 9mm or .45ACP) and probably won’t be until it is affordable for me to do so. The market is what it is.

I don't think that it's rape, it is a market decision being made by a retailer.
They are allowed to make that decision, and I get to decide where to spend my money.

I agree. I was dumb enough to build a 300 BO a few months ago. Parts weren't that bad but the ammo? Dang! I bought 100 rounds and that will be all until normalcy comes back.

GaG is just selling inline with market conditions. They can't buy high and sell low, they have margins they have to make too so they can keep the lights on. "Normalcy" may be a ways off.

It’s definitely getting ridiculously priced can’t imagine the profit margin!

Just bought some .223 Fed Fusion. About regular pricing

Excerpt from an article I read today...

April 06, 2020 By Jeremy Stafford

It is important to understand that ammunition pricing is not set by what the ammunition costs to produce, rather it’s determined by what the next batch is going to cost to produce. The profit margin is a set percentage that’s typically going to remain constant as long as production costs remain constant. An important factor in production are labor costs, which are similarly constant unless demand increases or decreases and affects long-term projections. As you can imagine during this unprecedented event, costs are fluctuating dramatically.

Due to factors beyond the control of the ammunition companies, the cost of components and raw materials has more than doubled within the last two weeks. Fiocchi and Vista Outdoors, for example) are two major ammunition manufacturing brands I’ll discuss. Fiocchi is shut down for commercial business and operating with minimal staffing for their military customers. Vista Outdoors is up and running, but they are fervently working to catch up to an unstable market that went berserk. Even with a redirection of resources and a recent price hike to cover it, it’s going to take time before covering their adjusted costs with respect to their actual output stabilizes.

It’s also worthwhile to consider how Covid-19 is affecting the smaller small arms and ammunition providers. Turkey, home to the manufacture of much of the imported shotguns and handguns has been getting frisky with Syria. Even if Turkey’s munitions factories could bear some of the production output in support of their American clients, the shipping ports are generally closed. The same applies to our allies in the Czech Republic. The Czechs could be sitting on mountains of propellant powder, but there is no way to get it to us. Russian-sourced ammo and components are also affected.

In a best-case scenario, it takes more than 20 days for a shipping container to arrive to the U.S. from any of those locations. If cargo has to arrive on the west coast, shipping can take more than 30 days. Plus, a typical minimum of five to 10 days is required to embark and disembark on each side of the trip. So, once the ports reopen, a realistic time frame to see supply levels return to normal is two months — just to get the ammo to U.S. distributors. And that’s if those foreign manufacturing continue to manufacture their product and have them crated, bonded and stocked. According to Fiocchi, that that’s not likely. So figure another 15 to 30 days to get return to manufacturing again if they have the raw components, which they may not because closed ports affect obtaining raw materials, too.

To add to the delay, gun owners are looking at empty shelves, which require massive orders in order to restock. Those orders don’t get processed or ship to retailers all at once, and the same people who are stocking up now are going to continue swooping in once the first shipments of popular loads become available. Folks, we’re looking at a return of the Obama-era run on ammunition where we saw people fighting each over boxes of rimfire ammo.

I bought 2 cases of 358 Winchester last week, it was exactly the same price I paid over a year ago, and the same price I paid 2yrs ago.

I haven't bought anything except 380 and 9mm defense ammo in the past 6 months, it was a couple of dollars more per box than I paid non-shortage years.

I'm guessing you think the gas stations make more when the price of oil drives up the price of gas. They don't.

Exactly. Costs are going up to the wholesaler and ammo dealer as well, they have no choice but to pass it on to the consumer.

Their buying cost has gone up 8% but their selling price has gone up 250% . F 'em.

(If you say their buying price has gone up more than 8%, prove it or don't say it.)

Where are you getting your numbers from? Prove it!

Federal Ammunition.

Actually, they haven't even gone up yet. Doesn't take place until 4/1/2021.

Where's your proof? Oh, you don't have any but spoke up anyways w/nothing to back it? That's what I thought.
