Sorry, free doesn't count. Just curious to know how much prices differ for ammo around the country.

Let's say [b]500[/b] rounds of .55 gr PMP brand ammo(brown box with the Gazelle on the front)

Wholesale Guns & Ammo, 5 minutes away from my house, has it listed in Shotgun News for $89.99

What about your neck of the woods?

I shoot a lot of PMP ammo and I've been very happy with it. I get mine from Century Arms for $72 per case (500 rds) delivered to my door.

Wolf .223 for $2.19 a box.  That works out to $109.50 a case! (1000 rounds)

But I never bought Wolf ammo.  I shoot only reloadable brass, and I DO reload .223.

I've bought Winchester white box .223 (5.56 nato, actually) for $3.75 a box, which would be $187.50 for a case of a thousand.   Not bad, for good ammo!

I figured my reloading costs and it turns out that my reloads are barely worth it, if it weren't for the total assured quality I put into each round.  I KNOW my .223's have the right charge in them, and I know they're consistent.  But I'm currently making them for a materials cost of $3.61 a box, not counting time or the investment in the equipment.  Not much savings, but what the heck...I like doing it.

Then again, the "retail" price on PMC .223 around here is $5.25 a box!   Maybe reloading IS worth it after all!

If I can find a CHEAP source for Winchester primers and powder, I may be able to cut costs substantially.

Remember the 'good ol' days' - I remember when the Albany NY gunshow was actually worthwhile to go to. If I remember correctly stuff like PMC and IMI was 500 rounds for $60 out the door with a free ammo can.

I have no complaints with the PMP stuff either, if I can get 500 rounds of anything reloadable for under $120 or so I'm happy.

PMP 80 dollar tax inc
And the 1000 rounds that the guy put the 7.62 russian price on. $89.99

Best deal I got was the following.  
1000 rds of AE 55 gr
1000 rds of IMI green tip
$100 for the AE
$150 for the IMI.

I remember buying Norinco .223 for less than $2 per box of 20. Ran pretty good through my Colt ARs, just wasn't worth a shit to reload. But at that price, who cares? Those were the good ol' days....

Waveman you get my E-Mail? Hpw much for 9mm ammo if you could get it.

I'm pretty sure I bought a bunch of Barnul 55gr from ammoman a couple of years back for $99 for two 500 cases.  The stiff ran real well in shaggy's M-16s last summer.

Freudian slip?? [:)]

As of a couple of months ago, Galyans Trading Post was selling Q3131A for $3.14 per 20 round box with a minimum purchase of 10 boxes.  (Before 9/11 they were selling it for $2.69 a box with the same minimum requirement.)

Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge they don’t do mail order.  [url]www.galyans.com/[/url]

Ever? I used to get 5.56 in bandoliers and ammo can for $100 (per 1000 ). That was in '89-91 though.
Best price in the last few years has been PMP $159 delivered per thousand.

Last year, $2.70 a box for UMC yellow box.

LC M193 and M855.

As much as I wanted for free!  Of coarse, I had to agree to work for Uncle Sam for something like $1.00 / hour [rolleyes]

edited 'cause I pulled an old LES and did the math!

Sure has been fun plinking ammo, but I have noticed some inconsistent charges.  A few dented cases.

I have gotten hundreds upon hundreds of rounds for FREE!!!!    I once got a whole can FREE and 9 FREE mags as well.  I shoot hundreds of rounds every year for FREE!!!!

I got 2 cases (200 rds)of the UMC yellow box stuff for about $6.00 TOTAL!  seems there was a [i]little[/i] cash register error in my favor!  [:D]
