I also found a lot of offers that are out of stock and out of stock with no backorder. 

Little ol' lady goes into Abraham's butcher shop and ask how much is ground chuck today.   Abraham says they're $5/lb.  "Vhat!" she says.  "Azarel across the street has a sign that they're $4/lb at his store."  "Then go buy them from Azarel," says Abraham.   The old lady replies that Azarel is out of them.  Abraham replies, "I could sell them to you all day long for $2.50/lb if I was out of them."

Majer, it wasn't all supply and demand.  The cost of raw materials was up across the board and availability of these materials was hit and miss.  That has moderated somewhat.  Not sure why .22 is still up and center fire has come down.  Hoarding  or buying all you could afford or stocking up didn't help things either.

Based on the votes and using the middle of the range in each one the average price is expected to fall to $22.50 per brick.

So...you can still vote if you'd like to.

I would guess that to be pretty accurate. People are just about tapped out overpaying and hoarding .22 ammo. The price has nowhere to go but down.

Long gone are the days of major brands of high velocity 40 grain solids going on sale for 99 cents per box of 50. But I still have some of that old ammo and haven't bought any of the outrageously priced ammo of the Obama era except for specialized loads. I expect the non-sale price of 40 grain high velocity ammo to settle down to something over $2 per box/$20 per brick.

Two cents per round??? What??? Are you made of money?  I remember paying less than a penny a round.  In 1971, I took firearm safety.  The instructor talked to us about making a humane kill, and showed us how to dispatch a wounded rabbit or squirrel so we did not need to waste the penny by firing a second shot when the animal was at our feet.

Price includes shipping.

They also have HK VP9 tactical for $550.  It's my new favorite Tupperware offering....
