get to vances. was out this weekend, 100ct boxes at walmart went from 15.72 to almost 19$/box. dont remember exact change. 50ct was 8.62, i think its up to about 10.xx. this is for cheap-o WWB 9mm FMJ

 

vances still has their sale going on thru 4/3/08, 9mm $8.99 for 10 or more

.45acp = 12.99 for 10+ boxes

And the price of ammo has been going up ever since then. Most of the same factories we buy our ammo at Wal-mart from also supply the US government. Most of them are runing at 90-100+% right now to keep up with the demand of the private and government orders. When there isn't a war going on, they only run at 10-20%. So they have to hirer on more workers and run more shifts to fill the orders. The government has a set price with those supplies on how much they can be charged. So they have to pass on the increase to someone and the private market is who gets it.

 

I have heard many of calibers that our soldiers use are pretty hard to find at a store anymore. And if you do find them, the price is pretty high.
