Last week I went into Cabela's to purchase some 223 for some builds I have in progress. The PMC 55gr had the best price at $6.49 a box of 20 rounds. I bought three hundred rounds and as I was checking out the cashier handed me a coupon good for $25 off of a $100 purchase good 6/20 through 6/30.

Today I went back to Cabela's to get my 25% off of $100 purchase and was shocked when I arrived at the 223 supply. There was no brand of 223 priced any lower than $8.99 for a box of 20 rounds. There went my perceived 25% savings. Friggin' ridiculous. I sure hope we don't have a repeat of the last shit that went down in regards to ammo price/availability.

I knew the prices had gone about as low as they were going to get but I didn't expect the prices to bounce back up from the bottom as steeply and abruptly as it appears they currently are.
