American Eagle 5.56 Green Tip Ammo Panic

[Will]

At Lebanon Gun Show Today  $150.00 for 150 rd box  And people buying it.    At Gander Mountain-Mt Juliet 10 min away

same ammo  everyday price $89.00  stacked three foot high and nobody buying.

We are our own worst enemies in so many ways.

[Guest LRJETCAP]

Far as I am concerned, he's leaving all the "less expensive" options for the rest of us.  And I usually do not connotate Gander with anything "less expensive".......

[173rdABN]

Or just don't buy it because it's not even that good of ammo to start with. People never cease to amaze me.

[gregintenn]

Why on earth would you go to the Lebanon gun show? :confused:

[Will]

Because it is only 10 minutes away and a good place to buy small gun parts  (mags,holsters,ammo) at a good price from the private vendors, otherwise it is

not much of a gunshow.

Maybe if people are spending their money on Green Tips they'll stop buying 22LR.

You wish!!!  I have to admit that I am starting to buy .223 again, on the chance I will not be able to get it later. But there is no way in hell, I will spend a dollar around for it!

I'm still trying to figure out what's special about a little green paint on the tip of a bullet.Do they glow in the dark? Lol.

[JRWnTN]

It's not just the green tip 5.56 they are panicking over.  Go to SGAmmo or AIM Surplus, very little of the other bullet styles remaining.  7.62x39 also wiped out, too.  And just when prices were coming down!

 And just when prices were coming down!

 

Almost like it was planned that way...

Dicks in Bellevue :
All ammo gone even crap no one would ever want to pay for.

[frankmako]

only fools buy over price ammo from gun shows.  it looks like there will be another ammo run.

Your location says Franklin. You must know a short cut. :D

Picked up 3 50 Round boxes of Perfecta  .55gr .223 (brass) this afternoon at Walmart.  Paid 18.99 per box.  They had Tula 20 round steel 55gr $5.49.

Maybe if people are spending their money on Green Tips they'll stop buying 22LR.

 

I'm sure tat the gougers can diversify enough to exploit two calibers.  It was just a couple of years ago that we couldn't readily get handgun ammo in any caliber because of those a-holes.

Looking up 5.56mm on GunBot is getting depressing. 

 

Even PSA isn't immune to the rage of hiking up the prices of green tip to ~0.60 per round.

I have never understood the hype. My AR likes the 55 grain it doesn't shoot the green tip 62 grain quite as well.

I have enough for a while hopefully sanity will prevail... but I doubt it.

[Oh Shoot]

All .25/round or less .223 and 7.62x39 availability is now officially about the same as .22LR.

It's amazing what happens when ignorance, rumors and greed all meet.
