Actually it is more than that. Civilians have to buy the 20 round boxes for over $1/round.

Unless that civilian is a reloader then it's more like $.05/ea.










lol, no idea, I cast my own so it's way less than a nickel

I am buying as much as I can without a divorce!

Personally I'd risk a divorce, there's always the make up sex to consider.

Yep, that's what it looks like.

No, you can still buy the 50 rd boxes, just $10 more.
If you buy local, then it's 20rd and you really take it in the shorts.

We used to hear this same kind of stuff back during the Clinton regime. Ammo was going to be restricted, no more 50 cal ammo cans were going to be made available to the public, etc...Never happened.

If you're worried about it...now's the time to stock up.

Wasn't 5.56 62gr LAP ammunition supposed to be banned under the Obama administration. Has not happened yet:

Dang It! You mean I have to fire up the lead pot again.

I'm sorry but that's just silly. And the notion of a 20 round box of handgun ammo is even sillier.

It's perfectly legal for citizens to own and use hollow points. There is no such thing as LE Only ammo unless we're maybe talking about Armor Piercing and such.

Why an ammo manufacturer would shoot themselves in the foot (PUN intended) and limit their revenue to law enforcement only, is beyond me.

And who the hell only needs 20 rounds anyway? It's a dumb number. That will fill one magazine plus a few extra. Who only has one mag to fill?

I will happily take my business elsewhere from a retailer who adopts this silly policy.

Once you have @20,000 rounds of 5.56, 10,000 plus rounds of 9MM etc etc, might be time to slow down.

I use the HST 124 grain non+p. I saw the restrictions the other day and flipped. I am used to paying around $20 a box of 50, now they want $30 for 50 or $20 for 20 rounds. I call BS. I am hovering around the 1K mark for 124 and some 147 grain HSTs. That won't last me and maintain a rolling stock. I guess that I will have to hit up one of my LE friends to order me some before it is too late. I don't buy 20 or 25 round boxes of ammo unless they are specialty.

I have seen this once before with Ranger T's (I think). It eventually went away and back to 50 round boxes for everyone.

Meh, it's not like they're the only decent hollowpoints out there. If they don't want me to buy them that's their loss.

Cone heads, 121 grain wheel weights. That is what I call them.
In front of 4gr. of 700x and with 15 or so close neighbors, we don't need no stinken hollow point to slow them down.
