Have any of you who shoot alot noticed it?
I shoot a fair amount of .223 and you used to be able to get 20 rounds of the Federal or Winchester in the plain boxes for well under $5.
If any of you have an Academy Outdoor store, you may have noticed their house brand of ammo, Monarch, used to be $3.86 per 20 and last month they almost doubled it. I wasn't too hot on it anyway, it was Serbian, I think.
I only shoot brass casings in my AR, so I don't price the steel stuff like Wolf.
The best deal I found is a guy about 80 miles from me who sold me 500 rnds of American Eagle (which is Federal, manufactured in the Lake City plant) for $115.
The dealers blame the war on the higher prices, but I think the prices of Copper and lead are more to blame. Brass is made out of copper and tin, so there is a direct link.
What are some of the prices you are seeing out there.
