From previous page , Big Box stores are a different situation .
They have large multi- year contracts with prices and quanities locked in . So for the duration of a specific contract they are isolated from market forces . Hence their having pre- panic priced ammunition that instantly flew off the shelves ( if not diverted in the back room first) . When the various contracts expire , they are renegotiated on then prevailing terms , hence the modest increases in BPS prices .

In historical Big Picture , pre- panic prices were lower than the Good Old Days , adjusted for inflation .
*************************
As of a cpl days ago , I was seeing 9mm, .40, .45acp at +/- $30/ 50rds . I pronounce this suitable to buy as you go for modest range sessions w/o heart attack , but not the time to seriously stock up . ( Caliber selection is spotty , and .38 spl lags ). Rimfire on the shelves/ booths is slightly up in numbers , but prices are holding from 4-6 weeks ago . Again , you could go on a range session without heart attacks , but not ready for stocking up .

Prices should be lower than Good Old Days. Economies of scale, improved efficiency, automation, etc.
For Gun Clubs $94 a flat is about 150% of price a couple years ago. For STS it is a good price.

Yeah I’ll be opening my wallet soon. I am finally going to get back in to shooting trap in the next couple of weeks. Not nearly enough to hurt a lot. But I’d gotten a flat for $55 right as the pandemic was really hitting its stride because I realized I only had like 3 or 4 boxes of target shells. I usually shoot two rounds. Still, $20 an outing isn’t super painful. Better than the movies (for enjoyment).
Bought a lb of H110 last weekend for 32 dollars. soso but I didn't want to leave the show empty handed.

You don’t have enough post to sell it on here in the classifies. If you did, I’d say yes that’s a good way to price it. Wait a little, post a few more meaningful post, and you’ll be there soon. Then just post what you got for sale right here on MDS.

I saw a post on Discord about cases of 9mm for 49 cpr. And it was still in stock the next day.

Got email from Midway this morning. Down to $700 for the 1200 round case. I like the direction this is moving.

Bought (2) 50 round boxes of Federal 9mm FMJ 115 GR at Clyde’s last week for $21.99/box

Yep, these aren't stockpile prices. That will come later.
These are "buy some to get back to the range" prices.

I went on a journey from Rockville to Columbus, OH, and stopped off at numerous gun stores and big box retailers to and from.
9mm and 223 was in wide supply. Like, I could have bought as much of it as I wanted. 22lr was available, but absurdly overpriced (like, 400rds/$60). The ammo shortage appears to be over; we just need to wait for prices to come back down.
Powder and primers were a no-show, except for a lucky find at RSP for some powder. Bullets were a mixed bag.
