3K rounds of .223 will be about $1.5K
3K of 40SW will be another $1K

I don't know where you shop but my last delivery of 5.56 NATO (last week) was $305 including shipping. That was for 1000 rounds of Lake City 5.56 NATO.

Good to see the price coming down Lake city was going for $500 per 1000 not so long ago.

Where did you get that price?
