I just paid $ 15.95 at SW Corona upland #7.5 steel. I only got them because afternoon of Sept. we will go down to Cibola and still is a must down there.Wholesale pricing on steel has gone way up. Not sure to many folks are gouging (some maybe). Unfortunately retail is going to hover around $18-$19 a box for upland loads until distributors reduce their prices.
And yes there may be holdover ammo still available from last year, hence a little better pricing. Any new ammo recently purchased from wholesale distribution is going to effect the retail pricing.
