Until they’re fired. Unless they’ve been stored improperly. More or less.
Heck, I’m even finding Large Pistol primers!
None of those sources will come close to the price of Brown Bear, Golden Tiger,and Tulammo. I expect a doubling in price, at least, similar to 5.45x39 when 7П6 was banned.
Yeah, at $500+ per.
Interesting that the chart distinguished between 5.56 mm and .223. And Georgia’s #3 ammo was .357 Magnum. Makes me think the rise in crime is a bigger factor than the author takes into account.
I saw that too.
I have a .58 Mini-ball bullet from the Civil War that could easily be fired today, bullets last forever, with assembled cartridges, it's another story. Modern smokeless rounds are generally reliable for some 60 to 70 years if stored properly. I have fired rounds from the 1960s with no problem. Black Powder cartridges last much longer. There are some Youtube videos showing black powder cartridges from the 1870s being fired.
Prices I'm seeing locally (Arizona) are closer to $0.48 per round plus tax, in 50 or 100 round boxes. Despite the high prices, a Type 2 FFL I visited today said he expects to be sold out of 9mm some time next week...
Wish that were true of reloading components. Primers in particular are going for 10x what I paid in 2016. Been holding off buying for a couple of years now, but I 'm going to have to pony up mighty soon. My shelves are almost bare.
BTW my LGS, a family operation two towns over, had very little ammo when I was there 2 weeks ago. No .22 at all, and no name-brand .380 or 9mm.
The writer doesn’t know about Ammoseek?
Bullets or cartridges? Either way, they last forever if kept dry.
5.56 on ammoseek.com had gotten down to ~$0.42 for a quality round. Back up another $0.10 or so.
Please tell me where to get 5.56 for $.55 per round. Online it is currently going for $.75-$.90+ per round.

BTW, those things in the picture are also the perfect pills to cure pedophilia.
I take that back. Ammoseek does show some at $.54
Thanks for nothing Mean Daddy. My credit card hates you.....
Oh, that kind of box..... I was thinking you meant 50 rounds or so....sorry
Bought enough in the bammy years to supply a small army.
I have not lost a single one in a boat accident or anything. Come and take them, kiss your babies and pack a lunch. Not budging. I am free. I may die in a pile of brass, but I shall remain a free man. You fnckers can k.m.a.
LOL!! Remember, you’re in charge!!
