    It way more than I'm comfortable paying but I like having a few extra boxes around. I also hate paying shipping but I don't have the time to run around and wait in line to see if I get lucky and get a box here and there. I bought a Marlin Camp 9 last fall that has never been fired. So I have plenty of ways to use up any extra 9mm for sure!

    Be sure to replace the recoil buffer in your Camp9 before ya fire it. They get hard and crumble with age. Bad buffer will ruin your hammer strut bridge and crack the stock. Replace the recoil spring while yer at it. Both are cheap insurance. I used a 21# recoil spring in mine, functions flawlessly and keeps it from flingin brass 50 feet.

    Thanks that was the first thing I done. The buffer was falling apart. I don't recall what spring I put in but I did change it too

    After reading a few posts about ammo, I decided to do some looking around. It does seem that some of the supply has increased but the prices are still way up there. More availability at higher prices. I’d assume given supply and demand that prices might drop a little until Biden et al open there respective mouths.

    Thankfully, I’m stocked up and reload.. but damn, all my guns fell off the boat into the Gulf of Mexico.

    Bought another 100rds of 9mm today, sadly no primers in today except a few Shotgun ones, some Shotgun powder also.
    Only other powder was some for magnum rounds but no primers.

    2400 works well in 30 Carbine and 357 Mag for me.
