« on: January 08, 2013, 09:58:48 AM »
Just picked up 500 rds. of pmc bronze .223 at Scheels in Omaha for $10.99 per 20.

They have a good 9000 rds. Left of PMC and about 1500 rds. of Remington UMC left.

Wow, they were limiting people in Lincoln.
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

Yeah, no limit signs as of 30 minutes ago.  I didn't have any more $ with me or I would have bought more.  lol

The PMC is 55gr.  I think the Remington was too.
The Remington was a little more.  I think it was $12 or $13 a box.

$0.55/ round for PMC at a big box store?

PASS

But if these prices keep up I just may invest in a progressive and get my Type 6.

I've been cranking out ammo for my AR on a single stage press...it's gettin a little monotonous. 

I saw Cabelas finally has 223 brass (Winchester) back in stock if anyone's interested.

They don't have any left now. I just purchased the rest of the PMC. They have a few remington left but for 12.99

I was able to order Hornady 224 53gr Vmax bullets for reloading from Midway today.  They are sold out of a lot of that stuff now.

I keep saying I'm going to buy a progressive but I haven't gotten around to it.  Maybe I should start loading my .223 blasting ammo on my turret press.

It's good to see the ammo trickling in.  It sucks that it's still a little pricey, but this is my first .223 so I don't know any different.   :laugh:

i presume that once everybody gets their 4000 rounds bought, .223 will come back down (hopefully).  50 cents a round seems silly.
You can hope in one hand and crap in the other, then see which one fills up first.

It may not go back down ..... handgun ammo is not back down to what it was in Sept 2008 ......
