I was just now looking around online to see if anyone had 5.56 ammo for sale. I have about 2500 rounds (so really, I'm ok for a while) stockpiled. I just wanted to see if anyone had some for sale and at what price.
Well, I found some. Surplus Ammo (who I have ordered from before) who has always been a pretty good vendor has some in stock.
Everyone, please sit down, as you might fall over...
.223 for $64.99 box of 50!!
5.56 for $67.99 box of 50!!!
Really!!! $1.30-$1.34 a round!!!
Guys, I realize supply and demand, but...
I like to shoot. I live in the city, so I must go to the range, or drive about 40 miles to my sister's place. She has 50 acres and a couple of dry ponds that make for a perfect backstop.
I did an inventory of my ammo:
2500 rounds of 5.56/.223
3600 rounds of 5.45X39
2050 rounds of 7.62X39
600+ rounds of 9mm
200+ rounds of .40
I normally shoot once a week. Between my different firearms I will fire a few hundred rounds. It varies from week to week. Somtimes more, sometimes a little less. I think that I am most concerned about my 5.45 ammo. Though I have more of this than anything, I worry about the future availability of imports.
I realize that this is kind of two posts combined in one. What is your opinion of my ammo cache? (yeah, I know, .40 is weak but I'm not worried about future availability of .40 at this point)
Thanks much
