Post by: XDHusker on January 08, 2013, 10:44:45 AM: 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.

Post by: wallace11bravo on January 08, 2013, 11:47:07 AM: $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 saw Cabelas finally has 223 brass (Winchester) back in stock if anyone's interested.

Post by: wahoo_t on January 10, 2013, 11:31:49 AM: 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 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.

Post by: XDHusker on January 10, 2013, 09:01:16 PM: 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:

Post by: NB on January 11, 2013, 05:53:03 PM: i presume that once everybody gets their 4000 rounds bought, .223 will come back down (hopefully). 50 cents a round seems silly.

Post by: JimP on January 11, 2013, 08:01:16 PM: It may not go back down ..... handgun ammo is not back down to what it was in Sept 2008 ......
