I do not see ammo prices coming down and have decided to consolidate my platforms with ammo commonality in mind.
Very wise

In the past 24-48 hours, ammo prices have gone thru the roof. If you can find 22LR, minimum price is 25cpr; hot CCI is around a buck per round. 38spl is 3-4 bucks a round(!).

Sigh...ok. I have the package in my hand and I'm going to walk it down to the mailbox in a moment. It'll be a 9 pound idiot stick until I can get some rounds and an adjustable gas plug for it.
I have already spoken to a good friend who has his own gun lab in his basement. He reloads everything and is excited to help me with reloads.
The bad part, or another bad part, is that there are only 2 or 3 sellers of 38 special l listed on Ammoseek. Used to be multiple pages of retailers with 50 or 100 listed on each page. Now just 3.
FWIW, GB has most calibers available. High prices for sure, but not what AS represents.....not yet. Like I mentioned in another post, get what you can while you can. I'm afraid the timeline for normalcy will be 4 years at best, if then.
That's interesting. Who'da thunk it?Over the last year or so, I've noted the shortage of 38spl; instead of being really cheap - the way 9mm had been until recently - the cost per round has been rising, and general availability diminished. It probably goes hand in hand with the walls of semi-autos one sees in the LGS, with only a few new revolvers around.

Totally holding back on a bolt gun in 6.5 x55 Swede!
Same. It's a good time to do projects and conserve ammo.Nah, ammo will come back so that's not stopping me. However, the price of guns is stopping me from buying anything else right now. No sense overpaying because of a panic right now. That said, I have picked up some parts and an upper that I got a deal on recently. Haven't shot some of them yet, but I'll get around to it eventually.

I hope to God your comment about walk to the mailbox was just a metaphor. Ammo prices may be nuts, but the idea that anything you Mail right now will actually get to it’s intended destination in under a month is laughable.
