I can get several 1000 round cases for @ $500 a case, thinking of getting some and selling it. PMC or American Eagle brass cases. What is your thoughts? I wouldn't try to gouge anyone with the price, but I see it on ammo seek for $850 per 1000.
 
I'm starting to see M855 again locally. Showing up for $9.99/20, $99.90/200, and $229.99/500. I'm not really a fan of it myself, as it is about 4 moa out of my gun, but I know that some people will trip over their dick to get it.

Buy it and shoot it. Buy it and store it. Buy it and sell it. If you have a use for it, go for it. $0.50/rouund is not a terrible price in a non-panic economy.
 
How much would you sell it for?
I'd base it off ammo seek, maybe a bit less. Right now PMC 85.5 cents per round, AE is 92 cents per round. I'd prolly do $800 per case. But mostly I know nothing about the laws on this sort of thing. Just hate to pass on the opportunity I've been given. Plus I need some ammo myself, my two son's shoot it up as fast as I can reload it and I'm running low on primers.
 
I hear you, I bought my last bulk buy from Walmart last year when they were getting rid of all 5.56 and 9mm, I was getting it for 17 cents per round for Fed. Brass case 55gr FMJ and 9 cents per for 9mm. I guess those days are over.
I tried. Felt dirty even going in.... only found some 9mm which i bought, then i sold it for 10x the amount recently. People were begging me for it. Shoulda bought all the .40 had there too, but i dont own a .40 and personally hate the round.
 
It’s still a free country. Do as you please. Personally if your kids are shooting it up that fast I would buy what you can afford and let them shoot it. Or sell it to friends and relatives that are actually going to shoot it and not just turn it for a profit.
 
I came across 2 cases of xm193 at the end of October for $449/k. I didn't grab em, I figured since I reload and have 5-6k bullets and primers to match I didn't need any.
Wish I would have, not for resale to make a buck, but to sell at my cost to some of the 3gun guys I shoot with that can't shoot now due to the ammo shortage.
Buy it, sell it, shoot it, hoard it, whatever your conscience decides. It's up to you.

My thoughts:

If you buy any buy the Federal and leave the PMC on the shelf.

So your telling us straight up that your going to gouge or $300 per case to your fellow Hiders? Thanks, Ill take a big pass with a fuck you signature. Sell it for $600 per case and be happy making an easy $100 anc building some good karma.

I was just asking for advice, I would sell it locally in CO as I know all Hiders follow Army Jerry's advice and have plenty of ammo and I didn't want to ship it.
