I bought my bushmaster only a week prior to the CT event ,and was wondering what were the prices of 223 before the panic. Just trying to figure out whats close to a deal or not .

Thanks

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.

Per craze it was .35-.40 a round.

[RubberBullets 65]

agreed with all of the above.. anything sub .30 a round was a good deal.

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.

I was getting Lake City XM193 for 30 cents per round (Case of 1000 for $300) a few months before Netown, via online shops... and 20 round boxes of Federal XM193 for $7 out the door at a local gun shop, right before the elections last Nov.

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.

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 .

[AnthonyG 36]

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.

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

$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

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.

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.
