Bucket of bullets at BP online

[LCPfraTN]

Bass Pro has the 1400 round Remington bucket of bullets as a cyber special today for $69.99 and free shipping. Limit one, but with free shipping that's a pretty good price. Not sure how long they will last.

I can't access the page. Looks like a buying frenzy.

Apparently, everyone in the world knows this because you can't get into the site to order it.

It's going to take a long time to get back to any sense of normalcy if gun owners DDOS a site as large as BassPro's every time some .22LR hits the shelves.

At least they try to get you to the page every 30 seconds.

And as you would expect...it is sold out.

I even online chatted with a CSR to check on availability - all gone

I'm not going to feed into the frenzy. 25 bucks would be a good price for that. If we all use what we've got sparingly this so called shortage would be over in no time.

25 bucks? I don't think this ammo has been priced that low for over 10 years, so that is not realistic. Prior to the current crisis, I believe this was probably selling at around $40-45. Even so, I think $.05 per round is probably close to the new normal price for this ammo, so I was happy to get a bucket.

This is the first of the "cheaper" stuff that I've been able to find in two years. I was able to get a few boxes of some CCI ammo recently at reasonable prices and that was the first I had been able to buy since November 2012. So, maybe supply will finally start to catch up with demand in 2015.

Well, I got me a bucket coming, along with a co-worker.  Neither of us had any issues getting on the site and checking out.

 

I did use some of my BPS rewards money to lower the price, so my total after tax was 52.81 (.037 cents/bullet)

 

I also got a box of the 22 from the BPS black friday event, so I'm good for a couple of months on 22lr :)

??? When's the last time you paid less than .02/round, even many years before Sandy Hook?

 

Hell, best I remember,  they were .75 to a buck for 50 even in the Sixties.

Well, you may be right. I haven't bought 22's for a while. When I did they were on sale. I do think the prices are overinflated. I don't need any right now, so I'll leave them for others that are about out.

I checked it out and it said only available in stores.
