    Pre panic pricing

    I've searched around here a little bit but can't really find anything. Has anyone tried putting together a list of what each caliber was going for price wise at pre panic prices?

    it'd be a good tool to have for newbies to shooting, but also to people who are expanding their caliber collection.

    outside of the calibers that i own, i have no idea what ammo was going for.
    i know that 9mm was around 24-26 cents per round, 22lr was around 4 cents, 12 gauge birdshot was around 25 cents, 556 was 35-45 cents depending on brand type.

    for me personally, i've purchased a 45 since the panic and my brother traded me straight across 1000 round for some 556 that i didn't need anymore. i somewhat remember that they were right around the same per 1000 for reloads at the ontario crossroads.

    i've been thinking of expanding to revolvers but outside of 22lr, i have no idea where to start. i'm going to pick up a big bore that can shoot 357/38 special but don't want to over pay for ammo to severely.

    what say you calguns?

    My limited experience...

    Walmart

    100 rounds of 9mm was $20
    100 rounds of .223 was $40


    Im also curious what reloading components typically went for pre-panic.
    Now we know!

      Isn't midway still displaying pre panic, or close to, pricing even if its OOS?

        hopefully the OP doesn't mind, but here's a thread with a really good spread sheet on a bunch of different calibers.

            Walmart 45ACP bulk was $29.95 for a 100 pack.

              They actually raised the majority of ammo about 2.5-5% in April-May.

                I found a couple of boxes of Winchester 5.56 55gr FMJBT 20 round boxes with a $3.49 price sticker on them.

                      Midway and Brownells pricing are pre-panic.
