SHY_Veritas 0 Posted December 30, 2012 I've been to every store around me that sells ammo. I know all ARs are sold out but is the market bled dry of ammo too? Am I totally out of the loop??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millsan1 3 Posted December 30, 2012 It is exceptionally hard to come by. Prices through the roof, if you can find it online. Not sure of any retail stores that has any. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 6 Posted December 30, 2012 Cabelas has plenty, same price as usual... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHY_Veritas 0 Posted December 30, 2012 Really? In store? I just checked their site and its all backordered. How much is it in stores? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71ragtopgoat 23 Posted December 30, 2012 They have it and On sale !! I was looking at the winchester 55 grain 223. Its cheaper then the remington. I still have a couple of hundred rounds left but I'm tempted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 6 Posted December 30, 2012 They have plenty. The salesman told me they wont run out. 10 box per REGISTER trip.. buy 10, go to the car, buy 10 etc etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHY_Veritas 0 Posted December 30, 2012 I'll be going there tomorrow then. Will they let me keep making trips to the register buying 10 .10. 10?? How much per box? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 6 Posted December 30, 2012 14.99 a box. There were multiple people doing the back and forth trip. Bring cash, and a friend/wife. Make it faster running two people and cash wont kick up multiple purchases like a card would.. use a different cashier each time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millsan1 3 Posted December 30, 2012 $750 a case is normal price? F that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XDJohnTact 49 Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah, my son was there Friday, he said they had plenty, and I asked him to check the price. When he told me, I told him I would wait. I still have a couple rounds inn the safe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A-Tech 8 Posted December 30, 2012 $750 a case is normal price? F that. Far from it. Cabela's is only backordering .223 right now. That isn't to say that they won't ship in a week or less though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 6 Posted December 30, 2012 14.99 is what it was last time i was there.. pretty sure anyway.. im new to the 223 world so didnt really study the prices prior.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnp 45 Posted December 30, 2012 $750 per case Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted December 30, 2012 I usually buy pmc for $6 a box. Heratige in branchburg sells federal xm193 for 7.99 if I remember Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millsan1 3 Posted December 30, 2012 HG in Branchburg sold me a bunch @ $8 per box last week, when they were almost out. Good on them for holding their prices in the face of this panic and not limiting purchases. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbkid6974 1 Posted December 30, 2012 ammo will be back around in a month or 2. its not hard for the companies to crank out hundreds of thousands of rounds fairly quick. they know everyone is panic buying and they dont want to miss the profits that will be made by it. actual guns will take longer because they are more labor intensive but i expect by may or june things will start to normalize.

SHY_Veritas 0 Posted December 30, 2012 yeah that is a lot. I was looking at ammo prices before the panic. I just bought the AR from Maksim and I really want to take it out. I may buy a box or two just so I can take the AR out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJCK 5 Posted December 30, 2012 Tell me about the insanity on .223. Picked up some plain-jane XM193, 1000rds for $349 delivered 12/1. I saw the same selling for $885 on the 26th! OUCH! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millsan1 3 Posted December 30, 2012 I stocked up and have about 3k rounds that I averaged out at $.38 per. Happy with that given the current climate. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 50 Posted December 30, 2012 I bought 1k of pmc xtac from cabellas last week shipped at .40c/rd. I thought that was reasonable considering everything going on. Prob shoulda got more before it went out of stock. Sitting on enough .223 and 556 to shoot for a long time at this point.

Barms 98 Posted December 30, 2012 This is getting so redundant where people say there is "lots of 223 ammo out there" but they don't specify the brand or prices.. yes, there is ammo to be had if you want to run stuff that is 30% or higher in price than "regular" ammo. Its like saying there is plenty of gasoline, if you want to buy Premium.. and not regular.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
