XD45 7,124 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) SOLD OUT $699 is painful but I grabbed a case. (I know there is an ammo availability thread but this is time critical and I wanted as many of our fine members as possible to see it.)

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 It shows $699. plus $16. S/H for one 1000rd case... Pricey, but $0.72 a rd for LC M855 isn't absolutely horrorific. What always gets me on the loose bulk is the chance of getting shorted by weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pricey, but $0.72 a rd for LC M855 isn't absolutely horrorific. What always gets me on the loose bulk is the chance of getting shorted by weight. I was just typing too fast. I meant to type 699. It's not horrorific by today's standards. But It's painful by 2 month's ago standards. It's the price we pay for "letting it slide" and not buying a few cases when the price was good. I'm fortunate that I'm doing a little side job this weekend that will pay for this case. lol Edited January 20, 2013 by Darth Saigus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclejake 428 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I lucked up on a private sale of 1200 rounds of green tip for $300 a few months ago. A young man I work with had gotten it from his dad and he couldn't shoot it at his range...he thought he was scalping me, but I was smiling as I handed him the three c-notes!

XD45 7,124 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) They had 40 cases 20 minutes ago. Now 14. And gone. Edited January 20, 2013 by Darth Saigus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BB1980 71 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I ordered some 5.56 penetrator reloads from a company called black gun industries. They say it's a 4 week backlog, but for $500 shipped for 1,000 rounds, I gave it a shot. Hopefully I didn't get scammed.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernOne 203 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 With them you have to refresh the page every two minutes or you'll miss the sales. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yeah I saw on another forum that SGAmmo had 223 ammo 3 times yesterday. Each time gone in minutes. Their website says up to 5 days to process your order but my order was processed in less than a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blkgunlvr 31 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I just finished working a gun show here in Idaho this weekend. We sold seven 1,000 round cases of PMC 55 gn 5.56 at $650/case (all that we had to offer) and were the cheapest one selling. Others were at $1,000 for 1,000 round cases and I heard but could not confirm that one seller was asking $2/round for M855/SS109! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WingedOne 14 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 With the " cheap" stuff going for such a high price, you might as well buy something like federal fusion 223. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not 30 seconds, but they did go pretty quickly after we beat off the other dealers that were trying to buy them for immediate resale at $1000! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viper84 18 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Holy shit. Theres a gun show this weekend in my neck of the woods and i was hoping for .75/round for AR ammo.... looks like ill have to be quick... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Hartley 526 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I stopped by Surplus Arms and Ammo in Tacoma yesterday and they had 500 rd bulk packs of 55 gr .223 for $509 each. Thats just over $1 each for run of the mill ammo. Glad I got some stocked up at home but it won't be enough if this keeps up. Shotgun ammo still seems in good supply but slugs are getting hard to find. Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernOne 203 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I watched SG sell about $100K worth of PMC .45 FMJ 1000 rd cases yesterday. Not bad for a family owned business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
