EchoMirage 137 Posted May 27, 2012 just a few month ago it was 140 for the same thing. 180 is very expensive for that. ammo is going up everywhere, especially in 223. once the election passes itll drop down again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justjules 0 Posted May 27, 2012 I just bought 2 boxes of that for 185 a box from bulk ammo. =-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted May 29, 2012 I got it for 160 shipped about 4 months ago, same place has it listed for 190 now. Seems to be the going rate for this stuff right now.... goddam inflation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubberBullets 65 Posted May 29, 2012 Will make do with my ammo cache until prices drop. Youre right.. seeing such an increase in a month makes my head spin. I guess just like gas.. it will spike, then drop down to a lower but never cheaper price than prior to the beginning of the spike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justjules 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Does it make sense to use the 223 for target practice and save the 556 for the Zombie apocalypse ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladtepes 1,060 Posted May 30, 2012 Does it make sense to use the 223 for target practice and save the 556 for the Zombie apocalypse ? it makes sense to use ammo to practice with that performs the same as ammo you anticipate using in a life or death situation.. if the gun is 556.. I shoot 556... if it is 223 then ONLY 223... but I practice with what I shoot.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
