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.

7-10 a box for pmc bronze and equivalents depending on where you went

i BOUGHT A BUNCH LAST YEAR FOR 33 TO 40 CENTS PER ROUND. Ed.

Cabelas had pmc bronze with the plastic case, 300 rds...99.00

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

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

bought tula 223 for about .26 cent a round last october, i miss the good old days

im sorry it was even lower at wally world at one point i believe it was going for 23 cents a round

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

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.

Oaks gun show last year 1000 rounds of Tula for $200. $.20 a round

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.

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.

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 .

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

^but not on gunbroker

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

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.
