So, what happened to all those stories about the government buying up all the ammunition and the public would never find another round for sale ever?      I was in Scheels/Lincoln last night....looked to me like all shelves/all calibers full. 

*probably a good deal/per round..btw.

Not really- With the sale price it still comes out to $ .6445 a round. 
Cabelas has .223/ 5.56 almost falling off the shelves right now, too.
Their Federal 'military' 20 packs were $9.99.  and they had some bulk packs too.

I`m going to pass, but thanks.
Wonder if this type will be available anytime soon?

Natchez has offered that bulk barrel in the past, but even before the panic it wasn't as good a deal as you would expect when buying that much.  I think it was running around .30 - .32 or so mid 2012.  Plus you have to factor in freight.
