Found 3 cases of Guatemalan .223 at local dealer. $275 a 1000, or $425 for case of 1560 rounds. Is this worth the price?

                                                                                        Thanks

I don't know of a single online dealer that has Guat.  I would buy it if I were you.  You probably won't ever get another shot at Guat ammo (very good ammo.)  Given today's market...I think it is worth 27.5 cents a round.  However, 6 months ago....AIM had it for 19 cents per round I believe.  Oh the days.  

If you don't want it...send me the dealer's info...and I'll buy it!

I would buy it now.  That is good stuff!!

I picked up a case on my way home from work today. It is 2001 manufacture. Looks very nice. I am gone this weekend, but should have a chance to test this the next weekend.

Interestingly, I called my local gun shop at about 10:00am this moring and asked what he had in 5.56 or .223. He said all he had left was 4 cases of Gaut, for $275 a 1000, or $426 out the door for a case of 1560. He said thats all he had and did not know if, or when, or what he can get at what cost, once this is gone. He also told me there is another 8% increase scheduled for Winchester and Remington ammo on June 1st. When I went there at 5:00pm to pick up the case, he had sold the other 3 cases this afternoon! Now this is in a little town in Northern Minnesota.

I have some other ammo for my AR but that is being saved. I needed some for plinking and testing mags, etc. But some of this will get stored for now too. Who knows what prices and availability will be in the future. Hopefully, eventually prices will come back down, then we can shoot  without so much concern about depleteing a supply that might not be replaceable or at least replaceable at any affordable cost.

8 %  hike ?

they can keep all thier ammo. i find little deals all over.
they will keep raising it till it peaks. and no one buys it.

True enough. But when and where is the peak or point no one buys it anymore ? I would think it has to be getting to that point pretty soon. Now I have enough and don't need anymore for a while, fortunately.

                                                                                    Thanks.

i hear ya, maybe everybody has money to burn....

or the are just livin on credit ?
i like to buy, but i don't like getting raped

Rifle ammo has met that point for me.  Now I'm just stocking up on .22 and some pistol ammo.  I'm also picking up mags while I can and they're cheap.  The only rifle ammo I need to start stocking up on is 7.62x54r.  I have some but need lots more while I still can.

Let me clarify the first the first sentence in that if I can find Wolf .223 for 150 per K (or so) I'll pick some up, but not for 200 per K.

I have a little bit of Guat set back.
