Those are pretty close to pre-panic prices.  Keep thinking happy thoughts folks...happy thoughts!

I'm not familiar with the good stuff (CCI MiniMags) since I usually buy the cheap bulk stuff.  Is that near the pre-panic prices GSD?

Thanks,

I think the CCI mini mags were around ~$8 per hundred before the panic.

That's what I paid for the last CCI I bought a few months ago.

While it hasn't been plentiful, it can be found with a little diligence, as you have demonstrated.

I'm betting that full shelves aren't too far away.

CCI pre-panic was around $8. I needed it quick, so I knew I was going to get *******. ( I did that censoring on purpose)

As long as people keep running out and buying everything they can get their hands on, supply and prices will not return to normal. There are still people that go to walmart and the sporting goods stores just to buy as much as they can.

I contributed to the panic and bought an AR15 in September (I figured if the government doesn't want me to have one, I need one.) Sorta like you can't fire me, I quit. $200 for 500 .223 remanufactured rounds didn't seem like a bad price. A lot cheaper than shooting my Garand (even though I haven't shot my AR yet - Doh!)

I know the panic is coming to an end when an AR is cheaper at Scheels than at Walmart! 

Yesterday price check on DPMS flattop Sportical:

Wallyworld - $617  Scheels - $599

It sounds like as soon as 22LR is back in stock, the end of the panic will be "facebook official."

The Panic may be over, but tprices still reflect the horrendous inflation cause by making money out of nothin' ......abouth 10 years ago,  I bought a brick of 500 .22lr in a small town hardware store (Arapahoe, NE) - hardly teh near end of the supply chain, and certainly not beneiftting from volume business ....

Prior to the panic, Ghost of the Past and I did a buy and got it for around $0.32/round.

ETA: Keep in mind, that was a reasonably good deal even for those times.
