I ordered some in January 2012 from Triad Tactical for 33.44/50 plus shipping. It was available elsewhere at the time for rather more, I think $40-45 cents per round per box at Midway. Triad is out of stock, now $36.16/50. No idea what the panic price is.
Crazy accurate in my 20" Stealth upper. |

I have a bunch of boxes but I bought it several years ago. I think I paid around $20.00 per box.
Last time I looked it was around $34.00 per box a couple years ago. This is Midway pricing. I keep finding boxes of it around the house. Every time I ordered something from Midway, I got a couple of boxes. Its nice stuff. I shoot it in my Rem.700 PSS. |

And, what little I have shot of it, shot phenomenally. I only use it for extended range, and need the heavy bullet. Appreciate the info. With nothing in stock, it is difficult to determine accurate current pricing. Cant find any Blue Box for sale to see what the panic numbers are. |

I priced some at $36 or so for 50 rounds, right before the panic. If you were trying to figure a pre-panic price for that ammo, I'd say $750 or so would be accurate, shipping and all.
I was actually going to buy some MK262 seconds and said 'meh, I'll wait a few weeks, since I won't be shooting before summer anyway'. That was a mistake.

LOL, yes, putting stuff off until after Christmas was a poor tactical decision. We all did it. And yes, normal pricing was around $700 plus shipping. It was never exactly cheap, but I am wanting the best stuff I can get so I am going this route. I probably wont shoot it for a long time as I have a lot of 77smk's to load first, but I like having more if the chance presents itself. Hell, it is not exactly easy buying the 77 match kings right now. |

LOL, yes, putting stuff off until after Christmas was a poor tactical decision. We all did it. Earlier this month (yes, this month) I watched 75-grain 5.56 TAP sit in stock for around $195 per 200 for several days, then they finally sold it all. In hindsight, I should have bought more for SD/HD ammo, even though it's supposedly not as accurate as MK262 (I have never shot MK262, but TAP is pretty accurate in the rifle I have benchrested it in). |

M855 is going for a buck a round.
I sold a case of Q3131 for $1k. Neither of those is on par with BH 77gr. SMKs. If I were you I would ask $2k for a case and see what happens.

The Mk 262 Mod 1 round (77 gr. cannelured SMK) retails for about a buck a round. It's not as quick to come by now as it was
a couple of months ago but being premium ammo its price hasn't really risen that much. It's the cheap stuff that is sold out for years (almost) and the prices have gone insane. I'd say you can probably get a case of BHA ordered and delivered faster today (and maybe cheaper) than if you ordered any of the more common favorite blasting ammo. (Win or Fed white box, PMC, etc) I wouldn't pay more than a buck a round and I'd only pay that for Black Hills premium stuff. CJ |

At least that has been my previous experience. ETA- Also, I am not as confident as you on availability of any of the Black Hills 77 grain ammo. I know a couple guys that always have had it, as long as I have done business with them and both have been out for a month, or more. And the one to whom I spoke, having just returned from SHOT, said they told him MAYBE April/May, he may get a small shipment. |

The BH Blue Box is premium ammo as far as I am concerned. And its price and lack of availability always seems to validate that. |
