I placed an order with Brownells for 2K rounds on January 14, 2013 and they are saying that they don't expect to have any in stock until June 2013....and that was for Hornady 250 grain @$83 for 20. The Corbon that I have bought from LGS has been closer to $130/box.....I might as well own an M79 given the ammo cost.....I have a Savage 111 Long Range Hunter with an Nightforce NSX FFP 5.5-22X on it...I can tell you that when you finally do get ammo you are gonna love the gun.
Well...think of it this way.....if you think about 2k @$83/20 that is $4.15/round.....if you have to pay $130/box it works out to be $13,000...which is a difference of $4,700...so if I manage to sell off 500 @ $130/20 which is $3,250...that cuts my cost for 1,500 rounds to $5070 or $3.38/round......which is almost $1/round.....with a bit of cash in reserve, and the foresight that with Obama in for four more years, me thinks the savings was worth it. Ammo is going up in value faster than almost anything I know of.....I think firearms are going to come down quick without an AWB....not so for ammo...IMO
