That's true, to some degree. Just scored 2000 for about $80...plus shipping and hazmat, still significantly cheaper than the $100+ we're seeing here.
It wasn't easy, but I managed it. They're still getting made and shipped.
Just passing it on...
One ammo can case 1200 rounds 9mm ZQ $497
Three ammo can cases 720 rounds 5.56 ZQ not sure of price
Lots of other .223 for around .50/round
Three boxes .380 winchester FMJ $22.47
Lots if .45 ACP and .40
Hope this helps someone
