Yep....that's exactly what it was.... Federal 550 bulk...went by the walmart today, and they didn't have any more on the shelf, and the clerk that was there yesterday was no where to be found. The clerk available today said that they sold out this morning....I asked about the pallet in the back, and he went back to look, and said he did not see any more of the 550 boxes...Asked about the price, and he said, "yeah, we had a computer mess-up, and the price was wrong....should have been $18.96..." I guess you just get lucky sometimes.....no way thats the 550 bulk pack.
Dunn's Sporting Goods currently has the Federal 745 22LR 36gr Copper Plated on sale for $169.99/ case with Free Shipping. Comes out to 3.2 cents per round. Not a bad price if cash flow permits.

Initially, I mis-read your reply. I thought it would be expensive to buy 745 rounds for $169.99. That does seem like a good deal.

Dunn's Sporting Goods: ordered on Monday last week and it was on my doorstep on Friday. $.032/round. I haven't found anything that cheap.
Last time I bought a few cases was April and it was $2/box cheaper. That must have been a special. But even at this price I haven't found anything online, or local, cheaper when you factor in no sales tax and free shipping.
Snake...if I'm reading the link correctly, isn't Kittery's price $4/box more?

It was 20.99 per brick & no charge for shipping ( it says you save 4.00 a box ) I might have to check Walmart next time I am in there.

Doesn't everyone buy in quantity?
I thought "in quantity" meant 100,000 rounds.
Right, i wished.

I live about 15 miles from the main Federal Cartridge plant in Anoka, MN. I know many people who work there.
Just yesterday, I spoke with a person who's been there for many years. This person has been working 72 hrs a week all summer (even though they have a OT cap at 60 hrs!!!!) They have so many orders and just can't keep up with demand.
Evidently the backlog is pretty much across tbe board.
Rifle ammo is particularily behind due to a huge (multiple hundreds of millions of rounds) for a special custom round for an Arabian royal family's security forces....

I don't think the average shooter has any idea how big government (any government) orders. The news media gets bent out of shape over reports when some US agency buys 10 or 15 million rounds.
