Ok thanks. So me waiting for $0.20 a round probably isn't realistic.
Federal 115gr FMJ was a hair under $10 for a 50rd box ($.20/rd) at Walmart before the panic. I doubt it'll be that low again, but I think $12 a box ($.25/rd) is reasonable for quality ammo.
Yeah, for me, I'm not paying more than $0.24 - $0.25 / round for 9mm and $0.40 - $0.42 for 5.56mm.
My price is whatever my time is worth. I just go to the basement and do some reloading. I have all the componets that I will need for several years. I prepared for this several years ago.
$30/.22lr 500/550 bricks at most
9mm/ $12.50 for 50rnds of brass
Don't use 40cal
45acp/ $16.75 for 50rnds of brass
5.56/ .36¢ a rnd
*39/ .25¢ rnd at most
9mm/ $12.50 for 50rnds of brass

45acp/ $16.75 for 50rnds of brass

I have never paid more then that for standard practice rnds. Infact the 9mm price is the highest I have ever paid for target rnds...
I hope you're right but this is the second ammo scare we've had since out current administration took office. I think it will be slower to recover this time. People are going to stock up. Once (or if) it recovers and everyone gets stocked up to a comfy level there may be some drop in prices. JMO.
At the end of Dec 2012 I paid $16.99 for a brick of Blazer .22s (10 bricks), the time before that I stocked up on .22s I paid $9.99 for the same bricks (20 bricks) The time before that it was $8.88 for a 550 Federal box. Willing to pay $20-24 a brick in the future but that's going to be a long ways off.
Just a few years ago I also stocked up on blazer 9mm brass ammo. Won't say how many but it was like $5.95 a box. Don't ever see needing to buy 9mm again.
Also would buy the WWB(50)$19.95 and Remington(100) 38.95, 230gr JHPs when ever Wally had them in stock. My great-grand kids will be shooting and enjoying those after my cold dead hands have released my 1911s.
I still have 7.62x39 boxes with the price stickers on them that would make a grown man cry for those days. Wouldn't spend more than 5 bucks for box of steel cased.
With all this guestimation going on, I still reload and cast my practice rounds and have enough to last my lifetime.

Ga Arms:
45acp fmj - $19 for 50
9mm fmj - $120 for 500can
357sig fmj - $31 per 100
40 fmj - $14 per 50 bag
These are the prices I've paid recently during this 'panic'.
