| As of a couple of hours ago it seemed that the cheap XM855 is going for @ $0.68/rd shipped. Real M855 (what little is out there) is going for @ $0.95/rd. shipped. 193 seems to have had about a 20% increase in price over the last 24 hours. |

Today I bought the last my larger chain store had.
420 round green can Federal $179 (last two) 150 round box of AE $55 (last two) Maybe the sky isn't falling but I've wanted some of this for the SHTF etc. Some of the prices in the EE make me lol. But hey it's a free market right? |
| The little steel piece in the front of the bullet isn't worth paying some crazy price. Hell, the penetration of M855 vs M193 isn't a huge improvement, the problem is they are all still .22 caliber. Just buy some lead core FMJ 62 gr. bullets in bulk and load to 3,020 fps and they will do any job you need done including SHTF situations. I think the added weight of the 62 gr. is more important than the steel piece being there. |

It's still pretty cheap as long as you go to a big retail store, but if your trying to buy from the guys here on the EE good luck. Some of the guys here are crazy asking a dollar or more per round. But I guess as they say " there's an ass for every seat". This stuff ain't even banned yet....
