Normal (pre-panic) price for .40 ammo?

[Tipro]

Simple question that I imagine will get a couple different answers, but what was the typical price for a 50 round box of .40 s&w target ammo, before the recent unpleasantness?

For unrelated reasons I sold my 9mm and bought a Glock 23, and am not sure what the "regular" price of the ammo should be. I've been finding 50 round boxes for about $22-23.

Also, anyone know what the .40 remington golden sabers were going for? 50 round boxes of those are selling for $40.

Cheap steel case stuff like tula was about $14 a box, brass $17 or 18 for run of the mill target ammo

as for the golden sabers? most sd ammo goes for a buck a round so Id say a 50 box of sabers is a deal for $40.

You could get Blazer Brass for $13.50 last summer from PSA. Walmart also had Federal Champion 100 round boxes for $28 last summer, but I'm not sure if it has gone up since then or not. 50 round boxes were more. I'm thinking like $17 at Walmart, but I can't remember for sure since I don't buy it and was just looking at.

Steel was 13.50 ish

Brass 16 on up

Self defense 25 on up I think

250 brass round Target were 85-90

In northern IL it was prolly $19.99 per box of UMC.

At my Wal-Mart in southeast Wyoming it was about $12-15 for a box of Winchester White Box or Federal Champion. .40 is a very popular round in my neck of the woods and has been nearly as hard to find as 9x19.

For over a year I was buying Winchester White Box 100rds for $24 at Walmart. That was the best deal I ever found... but $15-$20 for 50 was more normal.

EDIT: Actually, I could be thinking about the Federal 100-round boxes... don't remember for sure.

Thanks for responses everyone. Sounds like my finds are not great, but perhaps as good as can be expected considering.

Those Federal 100 round value packs at my local Walmart were $34... Here in eastern NC

I found PMC at Gouger Mountain for a respectable $19.99 per 50. Plenty of boxes of it. Not a fantastic deal, but good enough.

Pre-panic prices of .40 was around $16-18/box of 50rds for Federal FMJ at Walmart.

$12 for WInchester White Box.

Before the 08 panic, I was paying under $10 for the 100 rd9mm value pack, (WWB) and $5.50 per 50 .38 Special factory reloads.
