Supply and demand...

Your question should be "why are people paying $100/box for .22 LR ammo" :chuckle:

Thats it right there, asking and selling are two very different things. I was at the WAC show early Saturday and did see bricks selling for $50-60.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on March 26, 2013, 09:36:37 PM: Yeah it's per brick. Gun broker has been pretty solid with the better stuff like the federals selling at 45-60 right now.

Lacey Cabelas got a pallet of 9mm and .22 today and they have a 1 brick limit. By the time I got there this evening, they were OUT!
