Good catch. I edited to Cabela's.

I've got a nice stash of 22 i could go and clean up just by asking for a slight markup from what i paid last year.
My cousin just told me Federal .22 LR were bargain priced at $100 a brick at the Conroe Gun Show! :biggrinjester: Centurion were only $95. YaHoo!
That's a 5% decrease in pricing. See, prices are starting to come down. :lol:
I don't understand why people would buy at that price when they are in a city that has stores that stock daily. My wife and I go to Academy a few times a week 15 minutes before they open and pick up at brick of 22 LR for $19.99 (525) or $15.99 (325). Yeah, there are 50 people in front of us, but we are able to pick up 22 LR, 9mm and 7.62x39 every time. This week I picked up over 1800 22 LR. The Academy I go to gets a truck with ammo Tues - Sat. Sat. they get two trucks.

I'm sure there are people here that wouldn't pay the price I pay since they reload their self. I don't have the equipment and I'm not sure I have the time. How long does it take to cast and load a 1000 rounds?
I don't pay those crazy prices either. My local Academy has increased their prices by 10% in the last 3 weeks. Here is my rundown on the local stores to me. YMMV:

Academy is limited to 3 boxes total and each has to be a different caliber - MWF deliveries
Wal-mart No increase but limited to 3 boxes of any caliber and combination - 7 days, seems to come TWF
Cabela's - 10-18% increase in pricing. Limited to 10 boxes of each manufacturer - All the time
Bass Pro - 10-20% increase. Limiting Qty
LSR - 25% increase and varying restriction on different calibers
