AS350Driver 56 Posted March 18, 2013 In late August I recall Cabelas having PMC for $5.49 for 20 rounds. It was on sale and I kick myself for not getting some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted March 19, 2013 i was buying it at about 320 a case for federal xm93 a year ago $340-350 out the door at oak valley show last october, that feels so long ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,895 Posted March 19, 2013 $340-350 out the door at oak valley show last october, that feels so long ago it really does, i bought a 900rnd federal AE case right after the election and it was 350, i was pretty pissed paying that, but goddamn did that turn out to a good move. Really wish i ordered more. I knew it was gonna get bad, but no where near this bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gunguy1960 2 Posted March 19, 2013 Coulda, woulda, shouda, go to gunbot to find out what it will cost to feed guns these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted March 19, 2013 Coulda, woulda, shouda, go to gunbot to find out what it will cost to feed guns these days. The OP was asking what they were going for before, so he can estimate what a reasonable price would be. But recently $400-500 for 500 rounds is the going rate.

FishNHard 145 Posted March 19, 2013 Every once in a while a shop by me has PMC for $11.99 for a box of 20 , I havnt seen anything cheaper then that, I t seems that alot of shops are putting there inventory on gunbroker instead . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyG 36 Posted March 19, 2013 Dicks sporting goods their normal price was you could get .223 Winchester for 6.99 for 20 rounds, at that time you could use coupons and membership rewards too on ammo, I ended up getting 20 rounds for about $4.50 those were the good times.

71ragtopgoat 23 Posted March 19, 2013 Coulda, woulda, shouda, go to gunbot to find out what it will cost to feed guns these days. Been following ammo on gun bot to track prices. I set it at yesterdays lowest price each day and see how many alerts I get. It seems 223 is falling in price as of today 3/19/13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted March 19, 2013 I wanna know who the hell is buying PMC bronze for 21 or 22 on lucky gunner !!!!!! $21-22 per 20 rounds? It must be somebody extremely desperate or a newbie that wants to take his new overpriced Ar to the range. Poor new guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,259 Posted March 20, 2013 The absolute lowest price I found for a case of 1000 of 55gr fmj with copper jackets and brass cases since 2008 was some overrun centurion for $199.99 per thousand (wish I had bought more, it was like federal xm193 quality components with pmc bronze velocities, and pretty damn accurate). For federal xm193, Since I started stocking up in late 2010, it was $216 per thousand. Within 2012, it was $249.99. Summer 2012, with some patience you could get $289.99. heading into october $349.99 was a decent price, $399.99 was more normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melgamatic 66 Posted March 20, 2013 7-10 a box for pmc bronze and equivalents depending on where you went Yikes, that's a lot. I bought 20-50 boxes anytime I saw the price around $5.99 or $6.49 a box, and I have a lot of boxes. PMC Bronze is on sale all the time. Although I see that I bought a lot in December for around $6.60 a box, but that included free shipping, no sales tax and 4 ammo boxes. Cabelas had it for $5.49 several times last year.
