i've been shooting since late 2009
i've seen 9mm get down to $220-225, but never seen $200
did pickup some 5.56 for $300 and $330 in the fall after o'bama's re-election but before sandy hook
Last time I bought 9 mm was Rem UMC loose from OGC at $199/1000.  I bought 4 cases and one was for a coworker.  I was going to buy more, but figured that another sale was coming.  I think this was in August 2012 or so.  I think I have a little over 1000 left from that batch, so need to buy again soon.  Probably the next sale at or around $250.  My buddy last bought when SEC had a sale at $249 for Speer Lawman.  That seems to be the going rate these days. 

I think the last time I bought 5.56 and .223 Rem was XM193 and PMC Bronze for around $300 to $330 for the case of 1000.  That was also in the summer of 2012 before everything sky high.  Haven't bough 5.56 or .223 since.

I try to stop by Young Guns once a week now. They have some pretty good sale prices on ammo without having to buy a case. Today, besides the 9mm Blazer they also had AE 223 100 round box for $35.99, one box limit. They also have FN 5.7 ammo for $25.99 / box, last week they had a case of 2000 for $799.00.

If you see any 556 by the box on sale can you post here?  I know OGC has a pre-order but I can't afford 900 rds right now.

Didn't those things used to be 1000 round cases before?  Even ammo is shrinking.

I think it's the black boxes. They pack their clips in groups of 90, which gives odd round counts like the 420 round ammo can.

SEC still had cases (1,000rds) of 5.56 for $375. I'm pretty sure somebody would be willing to split a case with you
