The Coming Crash in Ammunition Prices

Same here. I'd more than happily pay $20-$25 for a 550 bulk pack.

Exactly. The only 22lr i have seen( and not in stores) is 69.99 per 525. Im waiting it out and shooting 9mm and 45. Its almost cheaper

.45 ACP ammo is back to reasonable levels, with good supplies. .38 is as well. 9mm is still a bit pricey. .22 is still tough, and way too high.

I guess it depends on what you define as reasonable levels. For a long time, you could buy Federal brass as cheap as steel cased Tula ($14.99 per box of Tula and $29.98 per 100 box of Federal). WWB was about $40 per 100 box.

Now, while Tula is around $15.99 a box ($1 increase), Federal drastically jumped their pricing. Their 50 round boxes are about $24 and the 100 round boxes are usually between $40 and 45. WWB is now nearer to $50 than 40 in a lot of places (ignoring Gander, where for some reason it is $60 for 100).

Though, I have started to see Privi brass for just above $300 per 1k on sale online, so maybe we will see it come back down again.

9mm prices are still very stupid, except for steel (well, and reloads), which has fallen back down to $10 or $11 per box (when you can find it in the store).

Just an FYI...Rural King had 9mm for $10.99 a box this week. Not made in Russia. This was on the counter in Decatur, IN store.

Yep, Columbus had some (for a little bit, at least) also. 10.99/50rds of Magtech.
