Dropped by my local Home Hardware today for a box of ammunition. $28 for 20 30-30, which is bad enough, but I noticed a couple of restock boxes of everyday .30-06 Winchester for $43.99 per, sitting next to last yea'rs supply of same at $31.99.:eek:

Is there something I don't know?
 
Thing is Maynard, I live in a wide spot in the road in rural B.C. and it's the only place to buy ammo w/o driving 150 miles. Just wondering if there's some huge price jump in the works from Winchester.

150 miles isn't that far, I have driven that far for powder. I guess your choices are, stock up when you are in town or mail order.
 
prices are brutal, I work in a gun shop and it pains me to put a $85 sticker on a box of Winchester 325 WSM Accubonds. The stuff *should* be $50 tops...not to mention other scary prices like $35 for 308 Power Points & $70 for federal premium 7mm Mag Tipped bear claws

it's terrible - don't get me going on shotgun shells...
 
Thanks guys. Very weird. It's going up faster and higher than a barrel of oil. Hard to see it as a response to metals prices or conflict. Maybe it's a just another of Wendy and Millers plots....:confused:
 
Read the US gun Blogs, they are constantly moaning about the increasing prices of ammo also. High commodity prices and high inflation are the culprits in my opinion.
