Cost of .44 Mag ammo....

Post by fortyshooter » Wed Oct 05, 2022 4:57 pm

Wow after looking at several online sources I see 60+ bucks for a box of 50 for typical FMJ like American Eagle brand among others!

At least they are available. I’m seeing most ammo shelves full.

Factory 44 mag has always been expensive to shoot just for target work, so, yeah, it's getting up there at $60. Stopped in our local shop and I saw 45 Colt Cowboy ammo also going for $60, though.Whew! How can anyone complete in Cowboy Action at those prices?

No 45 Colt or 44 Mag/Special ammo to be seen at our LGS. Very glad I load that stuff!

I think that most of the S.A.S.S. folks load their own ammo.

This ammo is long discontinued, they no longer offer the heavy 115 gr Gold Dot load (only the 100 gr one). I bought four boxes of NOS 115 gr a couple of years back for $110 maybe it is time to sell them….😳 if anyone here wants them let me know.

Except for some defense 45 colt. None here either.
The stuff I'd bought a long while back, I paid about $35 for a box of 50 (Cowboy Choice). See about the same price currently advertised.
I had also bought a long while back Federal American for about $36 for box of 50. Now it's $74.

Not only the ammo but production of the 115GDHP was discontinued as well, think they would be a great smaller medium game bullet in the 327 but after a few years of looking havent found anything here in Aus.
