What hasn't?

I went out to Stockpile Defense with a buddy who literally bought them out of 5.56. For what we paid (there was a limit per customer; we all had to chip in) we could have bought an equal number of rounds of .50 BMG.

What's been interesting to me is watching the price delta between, say, bullshit 5.56 and Weatherby. The idea of spending $4 a round to shoot at something was batshit insane back when you could get 1400 rounds of 7.62 Russian for $39. Now? Now 5.56 is a buck a round and .460 Weatherby is a mere $8.
