10 years ago. Brass FMJ. I've bought it for as little as $120.00 per thousand.

I've seen the steel Russki stuff for .22 a round.

Sounds like you need to visit Illinois and go to some gun shows.

Illinois in in the mid-west and has major airports.

These days, gun show ammo tends to be overpriced. Tim bought his ammo 10
years ago.

To be honest, I think the internet is going to kill guns and mortar
ammo sales too. Guys who just want a box or two a year will still go
to Walmart or Bass Pro but if you shoot a lot and buy in bulk. The net
will kill them every time. That will be particularly true if you are
not shooting a commodity caliber that a B&M store can sell in some
volume.
Even 40 years ago, we were dealing with a regional distributor for our
shotgun shells because we were buying in volume. It was saving us
35-40% from the discount stores (like Kmart at the time) and way less
than any mom and pop gun store

Unless the out of state internet sellers are offering huge discounts,
it's not really financially worthwhile in Maryland to buy readily
available pistols on line because the local FFLs add about $75 for their
fee for filing the Maryland paperwork. Rifles, though, are handled by
the FFLs for $10. I buy through a local dealer who has a nice store and
who charges me fair prices for firearms. His distributors seem to have
access to about any new firearm that interests me.
