Yeah.......It's 9 mm training ammo. It does what it's supposed to do very well.
IME most people who buy premium pistol ammo would be hard pressed to shoot a 1" group at 5 yards.......with all the time in the world.

Telling people you have a 2 year backlog is the easiest way to get them to keep paying the high prices.
Prices will gradually drop over the next 6 months if nothing stupid happens in this country, but if I was a betting man???
Improving would be a stretch in everything I've found, I guess if you want to pay 3+ times normal pricing then yes there are things to be found and purchased. I don't think things will come back to normal as fast as guys think, the normal Fudd Guys that kept a couple hundred rounds are now trying to buy things in bulk, the scalpers aren't gonna stop buying shit up until people stop paying outrageous prices, and then you have all the real gun guys that shoot a lot trying to keep their piles high. A lot of people are using Bots now to snag shit up before you even get to a website and get your Credit Card entered. There is a shortage of steel, wood, homes, vehicles, chicken, meat, glass, and something new everyday so no I don't see firearm related shit coming back anytime soon
It's not gonna be back to "normal" for another several months to a year. That's my $0.02.
I'd agree there I guess that's what I would consider improving is being somewhat close to normal. I don't mind prices fluctuating and paying a little more than normal and I don't base everything off 10yrs ago pricing but I just don't consider improving the ability to purchase something for 3+ times normal pricing just because It wasn't available 3 months ago.
yeah, I expect 556 to go down to like 40cpr and hold about there, 223 will be 35cpr instead of the former price of roughly 32 and 28 respectively
Shit everyone can keep all the .223/5.56 and 9mm they want I'm just trying to get powder for less than $60 pound, LR Primers for less than $150/1000, and Berger's for less than double normal pricing. Might just fucking give up, build a Precision Slingshot, and get a semi load of gravel delivered for ammo
I'm getting more emails from wideners and sg ammo, and others, more inventory and lower prices. As always, as long as people are buying, longer it will take to iron out.
I too have gotten some emails from companies sayinig they have ammo in stock. However it's out of stock by the time I get to the web page. This will soon improve and we'll all be laughing at this next year. I hope.
LGS has had .223/5.56 for a long time now, but at >$1 per round? No thanks.
9mm is on the shelf and .22LR is as well. But $99 for 500 rounds of rimfire? No thanks.
I haven't seen powder or primers in 6 months anywhere near me. I stopped shooting matches this year.

I was in a lgs that had lots of ammo. 9 and 223 and even stuff like 30 carbine. still too expensive for me to buy since I don’t need it. another store had 10 mm critical duty I was interested in but at $35/20 rd box, I declined.
My local Atwoods has been getting ammo pretty regularly. The .22lr and 9mm are kinda stupid (and it's all I see folks leaving with) but they have 140gr ELD-M for 31.99/box. Not great compared to when I was getting it from Able's for $222.00/case but I'm not complaining. And when I see places getting $60-ish a box I'm almost happy :lol: Last time I was in for my 1 box the dude behind the counter told me they still had several cases in the back. I'm good on everything else so I've been focusing on that one...

I've been shooting RUAG and it is fucking lights out
Have you been to the CCI site in the last 2 months? Almost every morning you can get 500 CCI SV shipped for $55. As a matter of fact here it is right now this morning
Buy Standard Velocity for USD 4.99 | CCI
Shopping for the Standard Velocity - Learn more about the latest Standard Velocity and other hunting or shooting gear at CCI.

I'll be impressed when I can find 6.5 creedmoor Hornady American Gunner at a reasonable price or at all.
Thanks for the info. I bought Quiet, Standard Velocity and Velocitor HP.
I'm gonna go shooting now, well in 15-20 days. Shipping time sucks but I guess it's better than nothing.
It will likely be inside 15...my orders were more like 10 days which was nice they seemed to under-promise and over deliver
That will be nice. My youngest just had his birthday and he wants me to take him and his girl out for a day of shooting. This will replace the ammo we'll be shooting. Now I need to find 9mm for 20 cents a round and I'll be a happy poppa bear.
Gotta love Scheels!!! My so lives in South Dakota and the Sioux Falls store had LRP and BR4 cci for $5/100. Support them for not price gouging.
Funny that you say "Federal American Eagle junk". When I bought my Les Baer 45 ACP ($2,800) certified for a 1.5 inch group at 50 yards, being a rifle guy, I thought they must be using some kind of super special match ammo. I called Les Baer (as tons of people have) and asked what super exotic ammo they used to get those results. The answer was "Federal American Eagle". I was kind of flabbergasted, but went out and got some. Sure enough, It was more accurate than anything else I used (including "match" ammo from specialty manufacturers).
Don't get me wrong. I thought it was junk too, but at least in 45 ACP, that gun is a laser with it. Surprises me every time.
Some more primers up in smoke
This factory was more into 20mm+ ordanance. Although according to news they sell some 60mio$ per year of ammo to US as well.So ither WASR crowd took a hit or more likely a jihadi group or two from 'train and equip program'
