Wow, just last week I paid 14.99 for the 325 round Federal boxes. I bought 5 boxes I guess I should have bought more.

Wish I could have found some at a decent price but after looking in dozens of places and finding nothing, I bought it when I found it. Wish I had a stock pile of it but I don't.
Seriously, do not pay that. IM sent

I'm hoping that after the crazy buying rage settles down the prices come back to normal. I'm afraid that were "demand"ing ourselves into artificialy high prices. Even if the goverment
does ban weapons and mag, they will still produce ammo at the same rate. People PLEASE settle down.

I wouldn't do biz with them again for that BS, I believe in free market but................................I remember what Cheaper than Dirt did in 08' and I will not EVER deal with them

No disrespect meant. Yes over a period of time I bought a box or two when finances allowed and so yes I have a small stockpile and it's nothing huge but it fits my needs. I do feel for anyone who has bought a new firearm (new gun owners) or didn't stock up for whatever the reasons but we as gun owners are doing this to ourselves with the panic buying. Yes the .gov has set a negative tone but in the end we are the ones cleaning the shelves.

Beat $1.10 - 1.20 per round that .223 or 5.56 is going for at places !!MiniMags are my favorite .22lr round, and I would pay that for a box.
At those prices, it's the reason my 15T is now mothballed in the back of the safe.
After reading this I went and checked my supply. My grandsons hate to stop shooting when we go to the range,so do I,so I try to have a lot of ammo on hand. I found 8 1/2 boxs of Federal and winchester 555 rounds, 5 1/2 boxes of I think 325 rounds of Federal Auto Match plus 600 rounds of Federal gold medal and a few hundred rounds of other target grade 22 cal. I guess thay will be able to have a little fun this summer. I feel as a grandfather it is my job to have plenty of ammo for range trips.

$60 for 550 round bulk packs
I was at a large gun show this past weekend and only 3 vendors had any .22 LR ammo. One had a couple of 50 round boxes that he had marked at $10 each. The second had a brick of 500 with no price on it, and I didn't ask what he wanted. The third had 6 Federal Bulk Packs of 550 that also lacked a price. So, I was talking with the 3rd guy about the current state of ammo availability when a man and 2 young kids came up to the table and said he wanted to buy 2 of the bulk packs so his sons could shoot that afternoon. He paid $120 for the 1100 rounds and gave each boy one bulk pack and away they went as happy as could be. The vendor made the comment to me that after he sold these 6 bulk packs, he didn't expect to have any more .22 LR ammo for several months, unless he bought it from his customers.

How much someone will pay
I was at the Weber Range in Troy,Texas and they have been out of 9mm for two weeks. While at the table behind the line I had two shooters ask to buy the 50 rd. box of Monarch(I bought for $12) I sold three box's for $20 a piece.

Every WallyWorld in central Florida is out of .22LR, and just about everything else. No LGS in a 30-mile radius had any until today, when I found one who had just received a shipment. They had upped their price on everything by 15%, making the boxes of Federal bulk $29.95 now. Not horrible, but not great by any means. My dumb self paid $50 for 550 rounds of Federal at the gun show in Jax this past weekend and I'm seriously regretting that. Should have saved the gas money on top of that, but there was no ammo to be had anywhere near me and the old lady wanted to go shooting worse than I did. Happy wife, happy life!

It's interesting that as of yesterday, Cabela's shows NO Federal of any kind on their web site. Never seen that before.
