FN 5.7 Ammo At $150 a Box?
Now I'm quite sure these people have gone mad!

That’s insane. I’m glad I sold my 5.7 and replaced it with an RIA .22TCM. I can load for that at about 25 cents a round with current component prices. And the pistol is way better looking!
Edit to add: I just looked on GB and I’m seeing 50 round boxes of .22TCM going in the range of $35-$40 a box.

There is very little 5.7 compared to almost all other calibers. Just has not been around that long. People who need it will pay the price.

That price doesn’t completely surprise me for a cartridge like that. I came close to picking up an FN 5.7 several times in the past few years, kinda glad I didn’t.

Thats not as bad as 12.7 x42, only one supplier on ammo seek, Midway at $4 a round. Tempting to sell the boxes I bought just a couple months ago for about $1.50 a round.

My LGS has a Ruger 57...I pondered buying, but I just can’t add it to the herd right now with the current ammo situation.

Around 2004 or so Midway USA was selling 2000 round cases that worked out to $16/box, shipping included. I bought 2, with a half case left. I shot my PS-90 a lot.
