oljames, math was never my strong point either. $9.50 per box for factory is STILL not a bad deal.

oljames, that is $5.19 per box otd. With Berry's plated 115 bullets and CCI primers that is about what it costs me to reload; .07 per bullet and .03 for primer, and .02 for powder .12 per round WOW, what brand?

Well, there went my plan. Have plenty of ammo in stock, plenty of reloading components, etc (do you really ever have enough--unless you are on fire). Was going to use this self-imposed house stay to load up the ton of 9mm, .38, and .223 brass I have been stockpiling and finished tumbling, but my ever reliable Dillon 550 decided to be obstinate. Just got off the chat with Dillon and they are sending me a new primer bar. Must be something about the 10s of thousands of rounds I have loaded on it in the last 15 years. Good news is that true to their warranty, the new primer bar is already in the mail to me for free. Hopefully I will be back in business reloading by this weekend.

Noticed this starting last week. On Saturday it looked like Black Friday at the gun counter at the local Academy and folks were grabbing all the ammo they could. Just got back from a short trip out and happened to stop by Academy again just to take a look.....ALL .22 except shorts and some sub-sonic is GONE; all .223/5.56 GONE; virtually ALL handgun ammo GONE; all AR style rifles GONE. Plenty of shotguns still on the shelves, but even in the shotgun shell category, slugs and 00 Buck gone.
