If you want to buy Herter's, Tula, Wolf, or other Russian stuff, you can regularly find it for that price.

If you want the brass stuff, it's gonna be a while.
 
I don't think we'll be seeing $.30/round anytime soon but $.35/round should happen before to long for sales/deals. $.40/round isn't hard to get right now if you shop around. Of course this is for quality brass.

Prices are already coming down.

Palmetto State Armory has federal 55 grain 223 remington on sale for $399 for 1,000 rounds.

Sign up for the palmetto state armory mailing list, they have some good deals.
 
As Wreckem said, it's function of supply and demand, free market capitalism. For the past several years you have had widespread panic buying of guns and ammo. Given the mindset of a substantial minority of the American public, I don't expect this to change in the foreseeable future or until some other fad replaces this one.
 
With the upcoming Zombie apocalypse it's not going to happen any time soon. That is why you should be practicing to use the Katana.
 
"...that bulk buying — whether ammunition, computers or stationery — is the norm for reasons of economy, and is especially sensible in the era of sequestration so zealously approved by Congress. D.H.S. says that its plan to buy about 750 million rounds in the next five years — 80 percent for training purposes..."

So they plan on fireing 150 million rounds in active duty in the next 5 years, maybe someone could show them how to hit what they are aiming at or are they planning on killing 150million bad guys?
 
To answer the question about ammo prices: mostly supply demand.

You have MILLIONS of new gun owners who want to buy ammo in the most common calibers (.223, .308, 9mm, .40, .45, etc) and thus supply was quickly depleted. Once word of scarcity spread people begin to buy whatever they could find, perpetuating the depletion of inventory.

Don't buy any ammo for the next year and prices will have to come down.

Its called training and recertification.

Why don't you go read some more World Nut Daily, seems more your speed.
 
I'm low on AR-15 Ammo....I bought a thousand rounds 2 years ago and have since had trouble finding it. I've been too busy really to shoot much, but it's time to start buying again. We're soon getting some more major retailers around here so there'll be some new local competition to drive the price down.

The 600mil is the training and recertification.
He was talking about the 150mil rounds fired in live active duty, which is not training and recertification.
