Haven’t done business with this vendor but they sent the order very quickly.
How large an order for free shipping?
I think $75 and up is free. It’s something like $230 for 500 bulk S&B 124gr 9mm FMJ.

It seems weird to me, but perhaps someone can explain it.

I watch AmmoSeek and WikiArms for ammunition pricing a couple times a week, along with GunJoker. I'm seeing a distinct lag between the prices some of the big sellers that the former two poll and the auction pricing on GunJoker.

For example, today (16 August), I see pricing on MagTech 9mm 115gr target ammo in the 35-cents-per-round range on AmmoSeek, but it's closer to seventy cents a round or even a dollar a round on GunJoker.

I see a similar gap on 5.56 ammunition, too.

Since I only keep those two calibers myself, those are the only ones I really watch. I suspect that .40 caliber is just as bad.

What gives?
Eventually I'll figure out this signature thing and decide what I want to put here.

Looks like .45 ACP is down to 0.70/rd for FMJ across the board at mine, similar for most other handgun rounds if they're in stock. More boutique options like .45 Colt or 5.7x28 are double that. 9mm is down to the mid-50s, .22LR around the 20s. Defensive ammo has been close to normal for a hot minute, but it's behind the counter, not on the shelves. I didn't check closely at the big box, but it looked like they finally restocked.

9mm prices seems to be fluctuating between 0.40 and 0.60/rd but I have consistently been able to find decent FMJ at 0.40/round online using Ammobuy. I’m also starting to see .45 ACP at under 0.60/rd. 5.56 and .223 pricing appears to be all over the place but target loads are generally 0.60/round. Hunting loads are appearing on local shelves lately. 7.62x39 steel cased is around 0.45/round. A friend at a LGS said in his observation, people are starting to hoard again, so perhaps supply will become more scarce again. :/

Fewer fewer failures to feed?
Less eye strain from propellant that ignites after it leaves the muzzle?
Fewer jams?
Fewer 2nd deg burns from steel shells?
Fewer clogged firearms?
Less money for Putin?

I have a hard time with "God, Guns, and Family" as a channel title. He has the order of importance reversed, and as one who was turned away by religion as a pre-teen, that deity is WAY down the priority list. Even if one is a believer, the channel title sounds too reactionary to me.

I've watched a few of his videos over the last year, and it's hard to glean useful information with all the chatter. Like many gun-focused channels, the signal-to-noise ratio leans toward people liking to hear themselves talk without much content.

I don't take it personally or too heart. Sorta like Lawyers Gun And Money. Just a title. He's very concise when doing gun reviews with some back ground history usually. And best of all no politics.

Heck, I never even heard about the ammo heist.

California ammunition purchases have to be screened by an FFL willing to provide the service. Midway will not ship to California FFLs unless the FFL makes the purchase in their business name. I have had other vendors use my FFL as a shipping address for my ammunition purchases, but Midway has over-cautious Legal counsel.

My most recent purchases at local stores were CCI .22lr Stingers .26/round, CCI .22lr AR .113/round.

Californians especially should get set up to reload, if only to avoid that ridiculous FFL nonsense for ammunition. This is as much about ammo availability, without having to beg the state, "mommy, may I?", as it is the cost. The lower price per round when you roll your own, in this case, is simply a nice bonus.
