Midway USA price increase on name brand JHP bullets

[Cholo]

In Dec. 2023 I ordered the following in 100 count boxes:

1) Hornady .44 XTP 240 gr. JHP--$31.49. Now? $40.99

2) Sierra .44 240 gr. JHC--$36.39. Now? $48.99

3) Sierra .32 90 gr JHC--$27.19. Now? $36.99

Hornady/Sierra are not owned by the same company.

Russian collusion, perhaps?

It's pretty much across the board Cholo. Every site I go to for supplies makes me drop my jaw. It's a brave new world we're living in now.

Midway's prices tend to go down during the Nov/Dec hunting & holiday season, and then back up after the new year rings in. I've been a customer of theirs since the old pre-internet phone in and/or mail order days, but I seldom buy much ammo or components from them anymore unless they're the only one who has what I need, or miraculously, have it at the lowest price.

Yeah, just checked on Natchezz website . Hornady bullets same price as when I ordered around Thanksgiving last year . Pays to shop around .

I'll shop around for sure. I ordered a rifle from my LGS and saw he had the .44 240 gr XTP's for $32 per 100. I'm actually wanting some JHP's to break in a .357 rifle.

I quit Midway years ago. There are much better sources available, i.e. Natchez, Precision Reloading, Midsouth.

I don't know if this is nationwide, but my local Bass Pro/ Cabelas has most all their pistol bullets for reloading on sale.
No signs in the store but sale prices showed up on line. My local Bass Pro honered the sale prices in store (without my having to ask) and even gave my 10% military discount on top of that !
This was on 3/2/24

Thanks!

They have some pretty darn good prices on the XTP bullets. My LGS had 240 gr. XTP's for $33 OTD and .357 XTP's for $27 OTD.

I won't be needing any more jacketed bullets. I'm only buying them to shoot a few hundred to break in two new lever action rifles. Then I'll go to lead only.
