Midsouth's .224 Varmint Nightmare bullets are always available at under 10 cents apiece, with the 40-grain hollow-points regularly priced at around 9 cents.
On the other hand, I just did an Internet search this week for .22 Long Rifle ammo, and found several brands available for under $30 a brick, including a couple around $25. It looks like the price is dropping, at least for now. I didn't buy any because I didn't need any, though it might have been a good investment if another buying panic occurs, for whatever reason. A bunch of shooters still refuse to buy ammo via the Internet, with some of them still haunting Wal-Marts.
