the only time you'll see $6 a box is when you buy in large bulk as mentioned, or gander has one of their $5.99 in store sales. otherwise it is usually 7 cents a round, or more. most gun shops sell it over $8 a box per 100.
Isn't CCI Tactical $25/box from Cabela's (barring the recent "in-store only" sale for $17.99/box)? e.g. it's 4 boxes for $99.99.

That makes it $25/375 == 0.06666666 (repeating of course) cents per round. Most of the time, you can get free shipping from Cabela's, so it's not a huge amount more than that usually.

Ideally, because CCI Tactical is bulk-packaged, vendors other than Cabela's MSRP action will price it better once it's more widely available. As it is now, it's a Cabela's exclusive. As it is, it appears my 15-22 actually runs really really well on Federal AutoMatch 40gr... I put in a few magazines worth the other day and it can make holes within holes at 25yds as long as I do my part. I can't say that about the CCI Mini-Mag or Federal Champion at this point. I was pretty amazed really.

That said... by then, the CA ammo ban will have kicked in and I'll be SOL for online .22LR ammo if the politicians decide .22LR can be classified as a "handgun caliber"

Which reminds me, I should get a couple thousand more rounds of 9mm before it's too late!
