I just bought 5 20rd boxes of .223 Remington UMC 55gr MC at my local big box sporting goods store. Cost was $5.99 per box and that is the best price around these parts. They seemed to have a good bit on the shelves and also had some other boxes in 50 grain hollow points or 45 grain varmint loads. Didn't see any Winchester or Federal. Hopefully, I'll get back next week and pick up some more.
I'm planning on getting a .22lr upper or two. The issue isn't just price, but availability. I can actually shoot .22lr and get a few thousand rounds any day I plan to go shooting compared to months of waiting for .223 ammo.
As a reloader as well, prices of components are rising as well. Compared to last year at about this time, price per 1000 rounds of components have gone up 20-40 dollars, depending on what you are doing.
My 10/22's are getting a lot more use now as well.
Why does Iraq not buy their ammo from ADCOM right there in the UAE. I know they are willing to sell.
I need to get into the contract ammo loading business. That is alot of ammo.
They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war...even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.
Notice of Possible Foreign Military Sale
Blow all Saddam's 7.62mmX39, arm new security forces with Colts (to be made in Turkey, instead of Hartford) and sell them 226,000,000 rounds of 5.56mm: domestic ammunition control. Machiavelli could not have done better!![]()

Didn't I read where our military is too politically correct to use IMI ammo in the GWOT![]()
Then send it my way baby![]()
Lets see, copper is over $3.70/lb right now compared to $0.80/lb in 2003. Thats an increase of over 460%. That effects brass and bullet prices. I guess we are fortunate that ammo prices haven't increased even more dramatically.
All metal prices are up significantly in the last 2-3 years due primarily to increased demand in Asia.
