Midway and Grafs are completely out.
Natchez only has Tula in stock @ 14.49/50 rds.
Sportsmans Guide only shows Winchester Super X @45.40/50 rds.
Did'nt bother to look any further but from what I;ve seen the pickins is mighty slim

There is none to be had in Northern California at any price.... Even the two local Ammo only places that usually have it can't find round! None I could find online either, either Widener's or anyplace else. Glad I have 1400 rounds and he fixings to reload another 1,000 or so!

I sold off a bunch last summer for around $20-$25 at gun shows. Spent some time on the 'net last night trying to figure how much to price it at for the next show without being seen as gouging. If I take any along, I'll probably price it a $35 - that's for old stock Remington FMJ. I can't decide whether to take any .22LR or not. I've been watching a case of Federal 510 on GB ending in a couple hours - it's at $600 right now and the reserve isn't met! Right now in my town, I've seen .22LR bulk packs (525's and 550's) priced at $65 on consignment. The last show I went to in August, I sold a 5 pack of Mini-Mags for $30, and the guy thought I was too high. I hope this gets over soon! - Bob

I will probably try to get about $30 a box tomorrow at the OGCA. Have 1000 rds.

Flint, Michigan gunshow. A guy had boxes of Remy UMC from Dunhams sports (label was inked over) for $42.00 per 50rds. He did offer to go down to $33.00 per 50rds.
I really can't find it in any stores right now, but there is a bunch at the local gunshows of all brands (reloads, Aguila, UMC....).

In Flint, 22lr in a 525rd pack was going for $50.00. So far you can't find it at any store in my area. It was somewhat less at the Birch Run show that I last attended, but I am sure prices were all over the map if I really looked at it.

The local Dunhams store manager said that they were getting ammo, but it was being sold within minutes of arriving at the shelf. He didn't tell me what calibers, but implied 22lr and .223.

A shop here in Birmingham AL has 50 rds for $50 for 1968 USGI in boxes. He has 5 boxes. I'm not buying.

I'm glad I bought two cases when I bought my first carbine 30+ years ago. I keep all my ammo in like new 50 cal. cans. I reload untill shells are worn out and get a fresh box. So far not a single miss fire.
