I was at 7 different WM's and 1 Academy last night looking for the Federal 9mm ($9.47/box 50) and only ended up with 1 box of WWB ($23.98/box 100). I planned on really breaking in my new S&W M&P 9c today, but it looks like I'm only going to be able to warm it up.

You better hurry, the guy at the counter was shocked that I was the first person to buy any today, said it usually is gone within an hour of hitting the shelf.

I just bought 4 boxes of .380 at academy yesterday ar $16.99 a box and I thought they had just raised their prices. Sure enough I just looked and they are JHP! Not sure if I would carry those rounds though...

Same thing happened to me.
I didn't notice they were JHP's until I got home. :???:
They still work pretty good for target shooting though. ;-)

I actually found 2 WWB 100 round boxes of .380 today at the Walmart in Pella, Iowa for $35.97. I bought one and left the other for someone else.

Both WM's in League City have stocked massive numbers of Federal .40 JHP for the past couple of weeks. The ratio of Federal .40 FMJ to 9mm is easily 4:1. If you own a .40, time to stock up.

I was at Bass Pro Shops yesterday and they were loaded up in all sorts of ammo. The only problem was that they are at least 25% higher than any other place in town. Some of the ammo was 40% higher. Thanks.... but no thanks.

That is exactly the situation here in Altoona, Iowa. You can find all calibers of ammo at the Bass Pro Shop, but who wants to pay nearly double. The .380 Remington wadcutter ammo is $33.97 per 50. I'm NOT paying that!!

About the only reason I go there anymore is when I have a giftcard. I just haven't been at all impressed with their prices. Even in other departments, there seems to be a premium that used to be associated with buying at the "finer" sporting goods stores like Cabela's.
