Ammo Prices - August 2022

 August 2022 prices are down on average by about 1 - 4% from last month and down 19% from 2021levels. While supply and prices are stabilizing in common calibers, there continues to be a wide range of prices, and tight supply on uncommon calibers. 

Below are some links to the low cost ammo we found this month.

9mm Price are down 1% in August from July.  2022 prices are down 13% below 2021, up 32% from 2020, and up 91% from 2019. Hollow Points are still way over priced.

Low cost providers for 9mm were the following:

22 Prices are down 3% in August from July.  2022 prices are up 7% from 2021, up 36% from 2020, and up 48% from 2019.  Over all, 22 LR prices are high, but starting to go down.  22 Magnum prices increased less than any other Ammo, and are actually lower today than there were in 2019, making it a good time to stock up on them.  A 22 is an inexpensive first gun with the lowest cost ammo.

Alone Season 9 - Days Survived


                                    

Juan Pablo used a unique strategy to win this event.  He didn't boil his water, nor burn a fire in his shelter, until the very end.  He only started a fire when he needed to cook food. This saved a tremendous amount of calories gathering fire wood.  Instead he bundled up and spent a lot of time in his sleeping bag.  This might be considered a Best Practice but carried some risk by not boiling his water.  He has experience drinking suspect water however.

He was also a good shot with a bow, rarely missing small game, and only lost 2 of his 9 arrows while some others only had 4 or 5 arrows left from missing so many shots. 

He also built a pier out in the river to access deeper water, and immediately began to catch fish. When he caught a fish, he didn't stop immediately and go cook it, but rather kept fishing and caught several more while the fish were biting.  Another Best Practice.
