The CCI Blazer Brass Bulk we USED to pay $169/K for is now $320 + (depending where/who has it.) I don't even look at 223/5.56!
I've been buying 12/20 ga. shotshells and 308 Win when I see at good/sale prices locally. The 308 is starting to become scarce as well.
Prices for primers and bullets have gone up to crazy amounts-especially primers. I'm fortunate to have what I have and will weather the storm as long as I can. My range trips are down to zero, so I'm not using ammo or supplies right now.
I went to 2 gun shops near me a week ago; one shop had a LOT of 9mm ball/range ammo in stock-3 different brands-$30/box 50. Stopped at another shop-$50/box 50!! As long as I have components, I won't pay those kind of prices. Until we get a handle on this COVID-19 situation, I'm not shooting anyway :-(
