Ammo Prices Only Raising!

Man! Ammo prices have been just going up with no relief in sight. This has really hurt. Meaning that picking up rounds right now is just not economical. I have lucked out recently with some people selling their reloads to me for a discounted rate. I just picked up 2,000 rounds of .223 REM for a little over $500. Before that, I picked up roughly 450 rounds of .308 WIN for $160. With my department that I work for, we too are seeing issues with the price of ammo since they want to move towards lead-free ammo. Its a great idea, but right now, expensive. Hopefully I will be able to reload all of the spent casings and save some money, but it is still getting more expensive. More to come....
