I always heard to buy the .32 over the 380 because the cost of ammo was so much less with .380. I have seen that posted here and on other gun forums and the gun store clerk made a comment about it too. That doesn't appear to be the case at Wally World, Cabellas, D!cks or at the range. Walmart sells the 50rd box of 380 for the same price as the .32 ($19.xx). While this wasn't a huge selling point for me I do wonder where all of this "cheap 380 ammo" is. Has it always been that way or has 380 gone up more than .32 for some reason?
Re: .380 ammo doesn't appear to be cheaper than .3 I haven't been able to find cheap ammo in any caliber. Even the .22's are spendy now.
Re: .380 ammo doesn't appear to be cheaper than .3 I'm not talking about overall cheap ammo. I'm specifically talking about 380 as compared to 32. I understand that all ammo has gone up but that doesn't mean that they are all the same price now. I can still get 9mm at Walmart for $8.97 per box while a box of 32 or 380 are more than double that amount.
Re: .380 ammo doesn't appear to be cheaper than .3 I bought 3 boxes of Rem .380 at Dicks Sporting Goods yesterday. I believe they were $18.99 per box. Seems kind of pricey, but I had a gift card to use up so................. And they didn't have a lot left.
Re: .380 ammo doesn't appear to be cheaper than .3 In the coming months, prices should go back to normal. Right now, I don't doubt that 32 and 380 is about the same. Supply cannot keep up with current demand as Obama fear sweeps the nation. Rumor has it that manufacturers have ramped production but it's gonna take a couple more months before this new ammo hits the shelves. I fully expect 380 to once again be cheaper than 32 once the new shipments arrive.
Re: .380 ammo doesn't appear to be cheaper than .3 the 100 round boxes of .380 are only $33, so it is a lot cheaper to buy it in boxes of $100.
