see picrel, I miss cheap 9mm so much it's unreal
>>
>>64395949
Russia was only good for AK ammo. Steel case 9mm is lame and faggy.
>>
>>64395949
Turkey and Brazil seem to be. I don't know if it'll ever be as cheap as pre 2020 but Magtech steel is like 18cpr.

Everything is relative, the economy was in better shape 5-10 years ago so I didn't think twice about buying a case of brass at the time. Now the economy is in the shitter, so people want to go back in time to the days of really nasty burning russian steel case

Ask yourself, if your rent was still $700, would you really be wanting steel case ammo? Hell no
>>64395965
Sanctions basically blanket ban chinese ammo.

You will never be a real gun owner. You have no pistol, you have no training, you have no ammo. You are a homosexual man twisted by reddit upvotes and FBI groomers into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

>>
>>64395981
Rule of thumb for steelcase is that the less taper the case has, the more of a struggle extraction is going to be, thus I could see some 9mm pistols not particularly enjoying it.

This is also why steelcased revolver cartridges tend to be annoying to deal with, because you're looking at needing to use more force with your ejector rod for single actions, or you're using a hand ejector revolver, and the ejector star now needs to lift 5/6/7 stubborn cases at once.
I'd outright say for shooting steelcase in the latter to not even bother with the normal ejector, bring a pencil or dowel for poking them out individually instead.
>>
>>64395952
Im gonna be honest, I would let Russia obliterate 1000 Ukraines if it meant we got cheap Russian ammo back . The Russian ammo question is what determines an actual /k/ommando from a tourist
>>
>>64396097
Steel case 9 seems to run fine in my experience. Unsure if the additional wear is worth the cost savings though.
>>
>>64396097
the other problem is that it has the risk of being magnetized
>>
No, there won't be. In fact, I don't think we'll see anything like how it had been. 2020 proved faggots will pay literally any fucking asking price, and all that tells manufacturers and distributors is they can charge what they want and still fly off the shelf.
Wanna see lower prices? Stop accepting high prices
>inb4 don't be poor
Nice advice if you don't actually believe in the 2nd amendment.
>>
>>64395949
Even if it did, do you really think steel cased will be priced at 10-12cpr again?

It will never be the same.

We're looking at the slow gentrification of guns. Ammo gets more expensive, accessories get more expensive, the range sucks/expensive/unavailable, combined with state laws changing in some places allows the gun hobby to become an inconvenience and annoyance.
That's what I think at least.

That development increases the value of your land though. You can flip it and use a fraction of the money to buy some land in an even more remote area.

Central Asia maybe? Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, they have ammo plants that produce basic eastern block munitions like bullets and grenades. I dont see why more importers look to them for combloc ammo. The only issue i see is that they may be selling their inventory to Russia and eating into their exportable inventory.

This or buying those laser dry fire gadgets and 22lr analogues of all my real guns. Ideally if I could dry-fire 50% of the time, shoot rimfire 40% of the time, and shoot centerfire 10% of the time, then that should be good enough to maintain shooting skills.

>>64396103
The steel is harder for the extractor to grab onto, and some cartridges being tougher to extract probably adds up to that, but from everything I get, it's a very subtle wear and the cost savings of shooting steelcase ammo is typically more than enough to cover the costs of a replacement extractor if it actually breaks.

I don't think there's that many people operating like that, but I think it paints a picture of how little difference it makes on the extractor lifespan point, and you should judge whether or not to shoot steelcase on other factors instead (like if it works properly in your gun or if you're satisfied with the typically middling accuracy).

>>64396105
You mean if a range checks your ammo with a magnet and tells you to fuck off if it sticks?
Try finding an outdoor place to shoot instead, it's better for your health anyway.

Magnetism as a force is very weak, especially magnetism induced in ferromagnetic materials like steel which is also fades over time. How would magnetized ammunition ever be an issue? There is no way it could ever produce a stoppage because the force of the slide/bolt reciprocation is so much greater than any magnetic attraction between the ammunition cases.

Accounting for inflation the average price of 9mm has stayed the same, and 556 has gone DOWN in price since it's so widespread. I'm a cheapskate though, I'm sticking with 22 and 9 until I get access to a longer range so I can actually use a rifle at its intended distance.

Domestically produced brass case 9mm costs 19 cents per round shipped when a dollar has half the buying power it did 10 years ago and ammo was the same price. It's literally the cheapest it's ever been. How fucking cheap does it need to be???

It's definitely inflation's fault, just ignore that hypebeast marketing has taken over the entire gun industry :^)

Yep, way out of proportion to general inflation. I think cheap guns with unobtainable ammunition is the future of the 2nd amendment: it'll have the facade, but in practice not mean anything

>>64397882
>just ignore that hypebeast marketing has taken over the entire gun industry :^)
I think they feel that format appeals to men or something

>>64397844
No. The issue with 7n6 was someone made a pistol AK74 and 7n6 out of that gun was considered AP.
>>

It appeals to the goyboys who call themselves "gun guys", they MUST spend money because that's what everyone else (reddit and /ARG/) does!

gun stuff definitely has outrageous pricing. IDGAF if it's a mag for a 2011, it shouldnt cost half a hundred dollars

I miss cheap cans of x54r. It's a big reason why I sold my Mosin. I just could not justify buying new production ammo at the price it was to feed into my garbage rod.

Definitely is what's happened in the UK. Licensing process really limits the number of people that can shoot rifles because most clubs are simply full or old boys clubs.
Anyone can get a shotgun license easily enough but it's still seen as something only toffs and farmers do. There's no land you can just turn up and shoot on.

I'm going to be generous and say you were buying that around 2008 so adjusted for inflation that's $180 today. Yeah, .308 isn't doing good.

Russia is not the only country with cheapo ammo, though?
My 7.62x51 stockpile comes from Iran, Venezuela, Brazil and Pakistan.
Most of my 7.62x39 ammo is Romanian, Polish, Chinese, Kyrgyzstani and Ukrainian (old Luhansk production).
My 54R is from Bulgaria and China.

We still get Wolf and Barnaul in here and they're MORE expensive than the cheapest brass cased ammo, so it has pretty much lost all of its appeal.
So it sounds to me like you're being cucked by import restrictions that have nothing to do with sanctions against Russia, and/or just impotently bitching about the fact that ammo isn't as cheap as it was in the 2010s (newsflash: nothing is).

>>64399827
Yes it was :^)

>>64399966

They have everything to do with that apart from the Chinese ammo ban

Most importers have shifted over to other countries with big ammo plants left over from combloc days, and your prices are pretty consistent with what we pay for 7n6.
The reason 5.45 is no longer 20-30 cpr isn't sanctions against Russia, if anything their retarded war is what drove up the prices across the board, just like when Syria kicked off and 7.62x39 suddenly went up by 50% in a year.

A wise man once said if you want a docile populace, starve them of ammo.

I have no idea why, just assumed. Just like how I assume Monarch is Taiwanese, even if I know their brass case 9mm is turkish ZSR

As a Zoomer I don’t think any of you oldfags have an excuse for not having a decent stockpile of ammo. Most of you had nothing but time once you turned 18 to stock up on the cheap stuff. Seriously, your 20s were in the late 2000s and 2010s.

Bro. I'm not gonna be rude. But think about what was happening around that time. 9/11 was in the early part. Financial crashes. The 2008 crisis. I know not everyone had the same issues but I for one was broke as fuck and living pay check to pay check on the only jobs I could get. Guns and ammo were a luxury I could not afford.

It is my right as a red-blooded American to enjoy safely watching the retards on the other side of the Atlantic destroy each other to my benefit.
>>
>>64402880
It's also my right to have said retards sell me ammo at low prices so that I may constantly fight off the trash pile/ dirt mound menace. If their disagreements cause me to lose out on my cheap ammo I get upset because they're infringing on my rights. Therefore I say it's the duty of the American state to step in and tardwrangle to get the cheap ammo back, as is our right to get a piece of any fight that happens anywhere
>>
>>64402991
You make a good point.

Eurotards! Stop fighting! We crave the cheap ammunition.
>>
>>64403003
We will come over there and bomb Sarajevo again. That's who's fighting, right? I dunno, nor do I care. Give ammo or you will taste JDAM

Is there anything stopping Tula or Barnual from exporting their ammo to be repackaged in non sanctioned country ex Turkey?
>>
>>64403051
This is a foreign policy I can get behind.
>>
>>64403054
IIRC, yes. Same reason we can't buy norincos from Canada. Apparently some countries are just flat out off limits to import guns and ammo from even if it passes through a neutral state. Now if Barnaul was to start "making" ammo in Turkey (read: packaging) then maybe it can skirt the rules, especially if they completely scrub any mention of it being tied to Russia

Listen anons I really don't know who I'm supposed to root for in the Russia vs Ukraine conflict because it means almost nothing to me and I don't have a vested interest in either side so it all seems like distant geopolitical theater just as much as an Asian or African conflict and so these threads are always confusing to me cause I thought we were just talking about ammo prices but somehow this seemingly gigantic issue always keeps coming up. I just want to enjoy guns and look at pictures of cool weapons and laugh at funny memes. Now it's all this other shit. I hate what this board has become and I hate this gay world. That is all.
>>
>>64403054
In Europe the sanctions were circumvented via Italy before 2022, but after the major chimpout the rules were tightened, for good reason
