Whats a reasonable price for 223

[AKguy1985]

In November you could get Federal .223 for $140 per 500 or $280 per 1,000.

if we only had a time machine.

Yes that was a good deal for now anyway. Yesterday 2A had the brown box mil-type Federal Lake City 55 Gr XM193 for $17.95 and Dongs had WWB 55 Gr for $18.95 /20 or $800 /1000

It doesn't matter that I bought 1000 rounds of Lake City 55 Gr XM193 in the fall for $329 or that last Summer Wal-Mart had 480 round sealed cans of Lake City 62 gr for $169.

So as much as I don't like it if you see Federal at .50 a round, it's a good deal today. I am not buying ANYTHING at current pricing becuse I think sanity will come back sooner than later and this bubble will bust. Until then, one thing to look for is old stock higher end TAP / Match / Hunting etc. ammo since current pricing has closed the gap and now those are only a dollar or two more per box than FMJ.
