45 caliber ammo

jljbtm · 04-25-2013, 19:07

I have about 150 rounds of 45 ammo but don't have a 45 caliber hand gun.
I was offered a trade for the same (qty.) of 9mm ammo

My question is this a fair trade?

Only if you're happy about it. 45 auto usually runs a bit more $$ than 9mm if brand, type, etc are the same.

For example, last time I bought ammo (pre OBummer), 100 rounds of Win whitebox 9mm ran $19.95 while 100 rounds of the WW WB 45 auto was $29.95.

My 9mm Federal HST's ran $24.95/50 and my 45 auto HST's were $29.95/50.

Right now 100 rds of Win WB 45 is about $40 plus tax, if you can find it.

You can't find 9mm in this area.

I haven't seen any ammo on the shelves around here except 12 gauge and some 17hmr rimfire.

So a fair trade sounds like my 150 rounds of 45 for 200 rounds of his 9mm

If your .45 is FMJ and the 9mm is JHP... Deal.

My advice is to get the gun.

SCmasterblaster · 04-26-2013, 07:56

That's right - get a G21 or a G36.

The other party is definitely getting the better deal. For example, if both of you were to sell each on the open market, you would get a higher price.

Now, what I would suggest in a pure trade is to trade retail price to retail price. For example, give him $50 worth of .45 ammo and he will give you $50 worth of 9mm ammo. Or, you could just trade him a pound of .45 for a pound of 9mm. .45 is usually about 50% more in cost across the board, I would say 100 rounds of .45 is equal to about 150 rounds of 9mm. If he is a fair person, not looking to slide one by you, he would take that.

BTW, I would gladly trade anybody as much 22LR, round for round, for 5.56/.223 ammo. Heck, round for round, I would give anybody 22LR ammo for just about any caliber imaginable. LOL

Both run great in my G17. So does everything else I've tried...

My G17 eats everything, also.
