« 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.

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.

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.

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