800 is a bit low. 399 per 400 or so maybe even fewer rounds. Ya it is crazy prices if you can even find it.

That's crazy how quickly the price jumped. Last month I bought a 1000rounds of 5.56 for $349! I should have bought at least 5 more cases.

The Big Island Gun Club brings in bulk ammo for our members.  We deal with Kesselring:

They deliver anywhere in the Seattle area for free, so we have them deliver it to the dock the day the ship is sailing.  It takes some leg work to coordinate the dates, but we can skip the freight forwarder and shipping adds less than 3% to the cost.

Last order, .223 was $375/K, 7.62X39 and 9mm were  $250/k.  Basically, Kesselring's wholesale price +3%, and then we round up to the nears $5.  FWIW, this is cheaper than the ammo is in Seattle because we didn't have to pay Washing ton state sales tax. 8)
