Bullets, not loaded ammunition. Also, the price seems to have settled at 40-50 cents per round (i.e., loaded ammunition), the ones that are selling anyway. I thought I already said all of that in the original post though.

Cabelas had a deal in early December on Federal M855. $0.298/round after tax shipped. Max of 300 rounds per order to get that price but you could place as many orders as you wanted.
Those without tax were getting it for $0.275. |

Saturated market, and alternatives. There is a shit ton of M855/SS109 out there, and most people already know that there are many other kinds of .223/5.56 that isn't being banned and much of it is better than M855/SS109. |

I got a couple cases of wolf gold for $289per + free shipping the day this all kicked off. It is superior ammo and all the 855 panic has also jacked the price of 193 up because stupid neckbeards don't know the difference. Also general rules of supply and demand take place. When 1/3+ of the ammo supply is cut the demand for the other is going to skyrocket. |

I have a couple dozen rounds of unpainted Radway Green, and not quite a case of XM855 on order. Yes, I did panic buy a tiny amount at panic rates. Since I don't shoot the stuff much, I also used the panic time to strategically discuss my ammo situation with the household CFO and point out that I only buy much ammo every couple years. I explained my concerns about the price effects on other ammo if the cheap stuff dries up.
She realized I was ready to prepare a PowerPoint presentation to support my proposal, rolled her eyes, and said, "Fine. Happy Easter." The SS109 stuff and XM193 wasn't nearly as expensive/round as the 77gr OTM tacked on to the same order.

Quote HistoryIt is true but many people lack reading comprehension and are celebrating and jumping to conclusions. So here is the skinny. What the ATF is saying was a publishing error was that someone found in their 2014 manual or regulations that the exemption for the 62gr penetration projectile had ALREADY been removed. The ATF acknowledged this and that is what the publishing error is. NOW everyone is jumping to joy BUT. The comment period it still open and they are still considering removing the exemption in present day . The only publishing error was that it had ALREADY been banned which it has not. HOWEVER they are still actively looking to ban the projectile and the comment period is open for a few more days. |

Well up in Alaska any 5.56 was hard to find at decent prices, and consistent brands before the ban. Now might as well forget about it.
I am picky I don't like have 200rds of Brand A, 400 of brand B. You get the idea. I like training with the same stuff all the time.

If the ban goes through the prices will jump yet again. The fact that so much surplus ammo was taken off the shelves with the threat of the ban does not bode well for prices longer term.
I am curious if importers will continue to import on March 16th or wait in see what the decision is? |
