Nothing personal against Solely, never heard bad things.
But this is more than double the cost of the last 2k 9mm batch I bought.
I can't wait for this nightmare to end.
Importers and manufacturers need to stop exploiting prices or that idiot Justin just needs to ban everything and put us out of our misery like a mangy dog.

You paid less than $.20 a round for commercial 9mm in the past 4 years?
Correction/Clarification.
My most recent batch was 1000 Federal Champion 9mm AL rounds for $251.99 [After Tax] from GoTenda (Mar 2020) ($0.251/pr)
My second most recent batch was 2000 Federal Champion 9mm AL rounds for $398.99 [After Tax] from GoTenda (Nov 2019) ($0.199/pr)
The purchases were pretty close together so the average cost of the 9mm in my ammo closet is $0.216/rnd. vs $0.419/rnd.
So yeah, almost exactly 2x.
Waa waa so expensive. Canadian gun owners have the 'luxury' of treating their guns like a hobby. Prices are driven by demand in the US where they do not treat them like a hobby.
This will be a good deal in a couple of months and you'll regret it then. Or just leave your guns in the safe, which is the same.

Also, you accidentally made a succinct point, it is only a hobby up here, which makes it all the more painful.
Ha prices in the USA were not driven by demand, they were jacked up because the manufacturers and distributers knew that current events (Covid and US election at the start of the price hikes) would essentially force people to buy at any price and they knew they could get away with it because global uncertainty DIRECTLY correlates to people wanting to buy ammo to "protect" their families.
lol how is working for Hornady?
That's why I pretty clearly stated Importers and manufacturers.
I am almost 100% sure that Solely is neither.
Lol of course it will end. This cycle repeats itself over and over. Something crazy happens (Be it political, pandemic, a combination of things, whatever) and demand spikes. Supply can't keep up, and the common stuff gets scarce (9mm, .223, common components like small pistol primers, popular powders, etc), and prices go through the roof. Manufacturers ramp up supply as much as they can, and EVENTUALLY supply catches up with demand after the hoarders are satisfied. Suppliers continue to produce at record rates until there is a surplus, and then prices come down.
This is why we were able to buy $300 cases of bulk .223 and $180 cases of 9mm a few years ago. These prices are not "the new normal", and there's something stupid about the people that use that ridiculous phrase.

Not trying to be an ####### but you're also comparing Aluminum cased ammo with brass cased. Different material, different price.
But I would still say 100% more than in 2019. Wish it was the 7% inflation instead of this lol
Except this times, manufacturers have said they won't ramp up supply like they did years ago. Instead of investing in more manufacturing capacity they instead decided to shift production from rarer calibers to the more common 9mm, 223 ones. It means prices won't go down when it's back to normal since there won't ever be any extra supply in the foreseeable future. Just more availability of calibers.
Anyway, that's my take on it with as little information as I have.
