Wow. And as long as people continue to pay these prices, the ridiculous prices will remain.
If you have a bunch of money and are desperate for 5.56, LuckyGunner has it in stock for around 0.90/a round.

Thanks, I'll wait.
Just got three boxes of 100 (limit) at Gander Mountain for $44. a box....
I never really was into ar type rifles and still am not so I had/have no idea what ammo costs for these calibers but a LGS had 20 round boxes for sale for 25.99 the other day so by the responses I saw here I guess that hiway robbery.
380guy, exactly one year ago you could buy Federal American Eagle .223 55grain full metal jacket 100 round box for about 40 bucks. I saw it on sale last year (Feb. 2012) for about 30-35 bucks for the same 100 round box.
That gives you an idea on the difference in price between last year and what's going on right now. Don't expect to find it right now for 35-40 cents a round, but paying 1 dollar or more a round is just ridiculous. Hopefully this will help you gauge prices a little better. Good luck.
Gander Mntn in Greenwood, gets trucks in on Thursdays, the push the ammo out on the floor in pallets.........for the other stuff.
FOR .223 or 5.56 they keep it behind the counter and you have to get in line for it, first come, first serve. Limit 3 boxes and you buy it RIGHT THERE, not up front.
Hope that helps
WOW a bit of an increase! I'd like to know how much 380 and 40 rounds were a year ago. I started reloading my pistol rounds and seriously looking into buying a 12ga shot gun (home defense strictly, Mossberg 500 persuader) and reloading those rounds as well. Right now I'm reloading my 380 rounds for roughly .18 per round
