getitat 609 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hello I visited my ol' standby Wolf 12 gauge depot, "Cheaperthandirt.com" in Fort Worth to score some slug shells to replace what I burned at the range last weekend. They typically sell 'em for $125/250, and since they, like me, are in Texas, shipping is usually cheap and kind of offsets the sales tax that I have to pay (since we're both in Texas...) Well, to my surprise, the price had spiked from +- $125 a case to $185 a case for the Wolf 2-3/4" 1 oz. rifled slugs. Whoa! Not exactly cheaper than dirt..... So in a panic, I checked out Midway, and found they have the slugs in stock and are selling them at the $124/case price still, so I bought two, and since they also had Wolf .308 in stock (!) I picked up a case of them as well. Don't know how long those prices will last, but it appears the ammo draught is getting better and worse at the same time...It's available, but it looks like it's gonna eat more of yer' lunch soon... Just a "heads-up..." guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a "heads-up..." guido2 in Houston You can thank the FED for lowering interesting rates for the benefit of Wall Street in their attempt to prevent the market from going belly up - effectively making the dollar worth less abroad. Expect all imported goods and food to rise due to their decision to screw the middle class.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 FWIW, ammo is up across the board. Ain't just Wolf or just 12ga. All ammo is outrageous and will continue to rise as the dollar devalues and stockpiles are bought up by random third world armies and paramilitaries. The war don't help much either, as many domestic suppliers are busy filling their military contracts. (Anyone try to buy 5.56 lately?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaddis 1,689 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Besides the Chinese buying up all the lead and copper for Military purposes, I'm sure the price increase can also be attributed to American firearms owners getting ready for a possible (most likely! ) gun hating Democrat to assume the office of C.I.C. And I can't blame them in the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cryptkeeper 0 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 most times i find the sportsmans guide to be cheaper on ammo that CTD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yeah, I was just trying to point out that CTD jumped $60/case almost overnight. That doesn't sound like someone who may be trying to remain competitive in that market, unless it's a signal of things to come. A nearly 25% bump in price is more than minor.... Generally, CTD has had a history of being "competitive" with their pricing, at least... And, of course, when shipping stuff such as cases of ammo, you have to look at the whole picture. I was just hoping to give a "heads-up" before everybody spiked their pricing. guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bought my 00buck wolf online right now. 133.00 shipped Not going to shoot it. Saving it for the Zombies I guess. I've got affordable Wally World White box for fun times at the range. Got me a case of 250 rds of 6 birdshot for 65.00 2 days ago at Wally World. I like shooting clays with my S-12. Had fun shooting clays today with shaneman down in Florence, TX. S-12's had a bunch of clay shooters trying our S-12's out and loving em! LOL Edited February 3, 2008 by dodgeturbointerceptor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Racer 27 37 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Is Winchester Super X Buckshot any good? Wally World has it for $8 per 15= $.533333333. Wolf is $133 for 250= $.532. If the Win is any good I'll just go buy them out. The 3"ers were $10 each per 15. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 yeh, that 15 pellet buck is definately a cannon round, alright.... go price bulk 30-06. I would buy some right now, but I dont HAVE a 30-06. not much shoots 30-06 in war now. its disproportionally cheaper....not much uses it in war arsenals these days, is part of that........

dodgeturbointerceptor 1 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I dont have problems with 3" shells at all... what are you experiencing? Missed this question. B. I have some feeding problems with 2 out of 5 of the 8 rounders that I use for shooting. I don't shoot the 5rds much so no idea there. But they hang-up,and FTF, failure-to-feed....about 2rds a mag. I see why 3" would be sweet. But a coupla rounds of 00buck 9 pellet 2 3/4 ought to persude even a detemined individual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was just tryin to help out others here on the board. Thanks! I got mine at 118.00 but I'll buy more. Other than the lined cardboard holding the wadding, and pellets in. These are great out of mine. And I generally shoot wolf out of all my AK types, as a result of not using it( and saving money) out of any of my AR's. One reason to love AK's. Wolf is better than some of the seriously corrosive slightly cheaper surplus I've bought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wally 2 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks for the info Breeze and Dodgeturbo I picked up 250rds It cant shoot worse than the S&B 12ga ammo,its kinda fun real smokey and the cordboard goes everywhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I want to warn folks to watch out for Gander Mountain... they are GOUGING with their prices on ammo. BADLY!!!! They have the 525 box of .22LR from remington... the "golden bullets" what you normally pay 10 bucks at wally world... they want TWENTY TWO BUCKS!!!! ( $22.00 ) WTF?!?!?!!? The rest of their ammo is out of sight and usually DOUBLE the going rate of any other local retailer... I have gotten some GREAT deals from GM in the past, but I cant understand their pricing on ammo... WTF?!?!? I just picked up some ammo from sportsmansguide myself... 1000 rounds of wolf classic for $188.00 and 2 packs of 480 rounds for the K-31 swiss ( 7.5 X 55 ) at $224.00 / 480 rds. They tacked on about 50 bucks for shipping too... but it still beats the prices I have seen anywhere else... when you figure in either tax, or shipping... they had the best price going...

Bvamp 604 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 well if anyone is near the hudson valley area of new york, I can send you to the cheapest guy there is, for ammo....just warning you ahead of time to make sure your wallet is full when you go there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

getitat 609 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just browsed past Midway to stock up on Wolf 12 gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz. slugs...Went up from $124 two weeks ago to $177 today. Like I tried to tell ya, it's not just that CTD is gougin' here, ammo is skyrocketing across the board. BTW, Sportsmans Guide is out of Wolf slugs, so I couldn't compare... Better buy before they jump again. Wish I had replaced the case I shot two weekends ago before now... Sigh.... guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
