Deal or No Deal?

[ukerduker]

I want to stock up on 223 bullets for reloading. Is this a good deal?

It averages about 6.8 cents a round which seems cheap to me.

What are your thoughts?

Personally, I would hold up a bit, scrap metal prices are crashing and I may be wrong, but I think bullet prices will have to come down some. At any rate, I am not sure I want 6000 of any one bullet.

if shtf you better have the 6k reloaded for them to do you any good

We can only hope the ammo prices come down. If you have shot the bullets and are satisfied with its performance in your weapon I see no problem having 6k rounds of the same bullett.

For an alternative, check Widners Reloading/Shooting Supplies in Johnson City, TN. They have different weights and quantities available at what I believe a very good prices, considering current conditions.

Why? I have never seen the "too much" mark. What you don't /can't use, is currency that doesn't drop in value much..unlike the american dollar.

Ammo is the currency of our future.

That sounds like a quote for some TEOTWAWKI movie.

I have looked at Widners, but I would be paying TN state sales tax too. The bulk deals on their site are for Mil surplus bullets. I look to buy a large quantity therefore saving money in the long term.

As a former Boy Scout, I like to be prepared.

Just noticed the replies. I reload for everything. For you guys it might be the right decision to have 6k...100K of the same bullet. I just like to have a variety of bullets for my my reloading such as my 30-06's, 270's, 6mm's, 45-70's, etc. And I use match bullets for some things, FMJ's for others, Blitz, ballistic tips, SX, etc. I have over 6000 bullets right now in reloading room, just not the same 6000.
