As inexpensive as you can get it, in today's climate.

I'd say don't buy anything and just wait. These morons are only making the killing they are because people are throwing money at them. ...

Then who is the real moron?

Fair enough. The people paying the prices aren't necessarily morons. They could just be in a bad spot, but the people buying up all available stock and scalping people will get no compliments from me.

How could you be "in a bad spot" without that 1000+ rounds of .22lr RIGHT NOW vs a month or two down the road  :dunno:

Ammo is where the big $$$$$ is at right now, moving it in volume, all day every day. Also if you plan on getting rid of some P-Mags dump them now MagPuls about to flood the market with Gen 2's.

I must admit, my local shop has had ammo in on a "regular" basis. It hasn't gouged that much, knowing that even they are paying higher prices at wholesale. I know of a shop back in Eastern Wa that is selling 9mm for $50 for 50 rounds and they are barely keeping it on the shelves. I personally wouldn't pay that price for 9mm. The hardest ammo for me to find at "reasonable" prices is 22 lr and .223

People new to shooting may not have built up any kind of stock prior to this nonsense, they would be in a bad spot, and forced to pay what the current market demands.

People with some sort of surplus can wait out the market a bit, and buy at more sane prices, instead of giving in to obscene pricing. The prices will not go down as long as people are willing, or in some cases, forced to pay them. I choose not to pay the current prices.

That was me, new, just got my CPL and gun - signed up for beginners handgun class that requires you to bring your own ammo and had NO idea how much ammo costs. Started paying upwards of almost $30 for a 50 round box of 9mm >_< just because that's all I could find. LUCKILY for me I found someone nice on here in the classified that sold me some ammo for a great normal price so I can take my classes now.
