Wife called me on her way home from the U.P. two weeks ago. Said Cabela's outside Green Bay had .223 and 9mm ammo, which I've been looking hard for here in the People's Socialist RepuliK of Illinois.

She called me when she was there and asked "how much should I buy?"

I said ALL OF IT.

Here in IL where I live, we haven't been able to FIND .223 or 9mm, and when you did, it was maybe a few boxes here or there. So when I said "all of it" I figured Cabela's had a few boxes.

Her response: "there's over 100 boxes of .223 with 500 rds in them, and I can't count all the 9mm. Sure you want me to buy it all?" (she said rather sarcastically...)

Suffice it to say, I'm rather well re-supplied and I was amazed when she showed me the receipt. .223 was less than 30 cents a round, 9mm was about 37 cents a round buying in bulk.

Not bad as best I could tell.

I was at Cabelas in Rogers, MN and the ammo shelves were full except for .22. There wasn’t a box of it in sight. I think the bubble is bursting. I might wait until the prices go way down to buy again.

I got permission from “She Who Must Be Obeyed” to purchase a new home defense implement by promising to sell a quantity of .223 to cover the cost.

After I got my new toy and before I tried to sell, I was in the local gun shop and they had a bunch of PMC 5.56 for $8.99 a box. She agreed it was better to keep it than sell for less than that to get rid of it.

Sometimes ya just get lucky.
