Local WalMart (yeah, I know..but it's the cheapest place around) just went from $7.xx for 15rd 00 buck to $9.xx. Cheapo .223 went from $6.47 to $7.96 or something. My beloved 550rd box of Remington .22lr went up a buck as well..blah. :( I'm glad I bought them out of .223 before they jacked the prices...

Any suggestions on where to go to stock up on 30-30? I have a good amount of 9mm (for my handgun) but I only ever seem to buy one box of 30-30 at a time and only right before using it.

I haven't bought ammo in at least a year. Not looking forward to the next time I need to stock up.

No such thing as surplus 30-30 so not likely :(

Best you can probably hope for is something like PMC and start reloading.

I've never even seen anything other than 20 round boxes. You may get a slight discount if you buy a case, but doubt it'd be much.

Cheapest I can find dealer cost is $10 per 20 which is around what it's always been :(

Cannay complain. There's no reason for metal commodity prices not to continue rising. Ammo is still cheap compared to projected post-apocalypse prices, am I right? It's hard to put a price on not having your brain gnawed by a zombie.

I just picked up 2,000 rounds at Cabelas in Boise last Friday. They had 500rd Dry boxes of remanufactured 5.56 55g FMJ for 109.99, so I grabbed 4 of them. When I get my oregon kicker check I am gonna order a few cases of Wolf .223 from ammoman as well.

I need to stock up on ammo soon, and I am dreading it. I only have about 250 rounds of .22, 100 rounds of 9mm, and 15 00 shells.

I have well over 2500 rounds of .22lr..I've started to buy a 550rd box whenever I'm at the store. Only $10-12 at a time, so it's relatively painless.
