Yes ammo is very affordable now. Even long range rifle target ammo for 308 and 6.5CM is available at a good price point - especially when you run the cost of components for quality bullets and the price of cases.
1,000 Rounds or Less
Between 1,000 and 5,000 Rounds
Between 5,000 and 10,000 Rounds
Between 10,000 and 20,000 Rounds
Over 20,000 Rounds

I think you need a 20-50k, 50-100k, and Over 100k choices added. :-)

damn! my last outing put me outside the bottom radio button choice. oh well, i'm gonna lie.
I don't track prices on a year-to-year basis. If you look at it over a much longer period, then you see that the price is always climbing. For instance, I remember selling boatloads of 9mm at $6/50 when I was running ranges. Those days are gone forever.
That said, I'm going to stock up over the next four years. I'd like to see a minimum of 10k 9mm, 2-3k 45 ACP, and as much 308 and 30-06 as I can get my hands on. Ideally, I'd double that. Once I hit those levels, I'll use that inventory as a buffer and continue to add what I need for monthly consumption.
Also, I try not to buy single cases when I can avoid it, and I rarely if ever have ammo shipped. I'm fortunate enough to find myself in Oregon now and then, where ammo prices are low and there is no sales tax. I make it a point not to buy anything in Washington that I can buy there, so I grab several cases at a time, along with clothing, computers, etc. The amount I save on shipping and taxes more than makes those trips pay for themselves.

There's nothing civil about this war.
In just loaded ammo, I've got right around 5k rounds (not including 22). I have enough clean led and reloading components to get me into the next category up.

I voted how much I have, not how much I want. Factors that impact that include available storage space and (mostly medical) bills.
@okie john, I know where to buy bulk ammo up here, where do you shop in Orygun? I find myself down South Of The Border from time to time, and may be making a trip at the end of the month...

If your floor can support the weight of your ammo stockpile, you don't have enough ammo.
I lost Many Cases of ammunition and much more when my house in LA. which had no flood insurance flooded 0n 08/13/2016. Moved back in April 2017.Blues: how about you add a category for: Don't Have None: Lost it all when my pirogue turned over in the bayou.
Try Northwest Armory, Curt's, or Keith's.
Where are you buying up here?

I know what you mean.....we lived in the 5800 block of Bellaire Drive in the Lakeview neighborhood of NO in Aug of 2005....much, much worse than a capsized pirogue in the bayou.
