Yes, about Feb. CTD had some of the best prices on Federal/LC 5.56. Then in the Mar. sales catalog they began escalating prices above what they had advertised them at in their print advertising. Their AMM-223C is @ $409 on the website, but they are out of stock on it, so when they get it in it will very likely be $459....
I just want to find a source for milsurp 180 grain 7.62x54R, which is what Natasha likes best. If it's that hot de-linked machine gun ammo, that's even better. All I can find lately is 147 to 150 grain light ball. That's okay for the carbines, but the 91/30s don't like it nearly as well, and the Czarina, my Model 1891, hates it. (She likes the heavy 203 grain softpoints from Prvi Partizan that you could use to take down an elephant.)
I'd pay a premium to get that 180 grain milsurp, my guns like it so much.

Vassily FritzSmiter preffers the 147--wich is good for me, because I'm a recoil wimp, and I can find it cheap! Got enough FMJ to keep the Zombies and Molemen at bay, and am starting to stock up some sporting rounds to fill the larder with Deer--or those other Deer that sometimes wander around and have no antlers--the ones that say Moooo.

funny how many didnt learn their lessons last time, and went back to doing business with notcheaperthan dirt. i have a little personal theory that covers this, try to screw me once, your done for life! companies that try to bend you over for no other reason than they can, need to be run out of business!
Cheaperthandirt really does lead the way in price gouging, and seemingly others follow.
Fortunately I still have 90% of the ridiculous stockpile I bought last time. I usually replenish as I shoot but I think I'll wait it out until 2014 when prices drop again.

BUY USA MADE.
I get my ammo over the counter locally cheaper than CTD or any of the other "surplus" online dealers.
And since we are naming our Mosins, I will name my M39 Irja Ivanslayer.
