.22 Rimfire ammo prices are the lowest we've seen in many years. I recently bought 6500 rounds of Federal Auto-Match for $345 or 5.31 cents per round; shipping to my door added less than a penny per round. When I was a senior in college in 1964, I shot a lot of .22 and was paying $5.00 per brick, or a penny per round. Adjusted for inflation, the current price is less than it was then (7.93 cents per round). The same is true for most centerfire ammo as well.

Does anyone here know the cost of producing, transporting, and marketing ammunition as well as profit margins for the manufacturer, distributor, and retailer? If not, you don't know what a "fair" price is for the product. You can wait and see if the price comes down further, but I'm happy to pay the current price and punch lots of holes in targets.
