$ 60.00 for a box of 5.7x28 ?

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/AMM254-5.html I know ammo is going up, but this is nuts, whats the avg. price locally?

Or should i ask, how hard is it to find?

[Garufa]

That's such an obscure caliber I don't know that there is a "local" price.

[Guest slim]

Last yr. it was $21.99 at Sportsmans Warehouse and gun shops were selling it for around $25. Yea, i know last yr. 7.63x39 was 1/2 the price of what is now!

22.95 @ The Reloaders Bench I believe. I don't think I've paid over 24.00 for a box of 50 yet.

Don't trust CTD. They are some price gouging mofos.

[Guest slim]

Thanks, that is more like it, strange thing is that a few months ago i was thinking that the x28 was the only ammo i knew of, which really had not gone up at all, even though all others went up 30-50%! But i had not looked for any in a while!

5.7x28

SS198 runs about $35 per box

SS197 runs about $22 per box

SS195 runs about $22 per box

That is what I normally pay for mine.

[Metalhead]

It's not an obscure caliber imo. Anyway, we carry it for around $23 a box iirc.

Original post was 21 months ago, back when ammo panic was on.

Hah, I didnt even look either.

Well when I clicked your link. . it said $19.95 for 50 with hornady bullets. . .could you have misread?. . .just now noticed the age of the original myself. . .holy resurrected threads batman. . .

[Guest tswenka]

Resurrecting this due to the fact the link says no longer available. The 5.7 is getting dam hard to find. Guess that makes up my mind about getting a 5.56. Unless someone knows where to get this ammo. On target says the only special order it. Last time I could only get one box. That's only one mag for the ps.

[Dolomite_supafly]

Reload and never have a supply issue again. it is easy to do and you get better quality ammo than you could ever buy.

I bet you could loar this caliber for under .15 each

Give it 5 or 10 years...and there will be not much choice but to reload this caliber....

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I finally shot an FN 57, yesterday, and couldn't believe how hot that little rascal was. Reloading it would be a good

idea. I asked the guy about the ammo and he said it was in the 20-30 buck range. I felt better. May even buy one.

You could really say that about any caliber, right now, considering current events.

[Jonnin]

any large rifle caliber will set you to reloading. Even common stuff is .75 to $1 per shot. If you have something exotic $2 or 3 per shot. And it is pure price fixing --- it costs no more to make obsolete rounds than 30-06 in materials.

[Dolomite_supafly]

It isn't the materials, it is the setup costs as well as the fact they have to shut a line that is making popular ammo to make ammo that may or may not sell as well. That is why 22 shorts now cost so much. Not as much of a demand for them so it costs more because they don't reap the rewards immediately.

Craig's has it for $24 a box.

Sad, but true!

[Guest tswenka]

well I found a way around the ammo price for this....traded the ps90 for a windham mp in 5.56. The ps90 was a sweet little gun. very accurate and reliable. But I have always wanted another AR in 5.56. lol.
