New .45 ammo shipment arrives

OK, I'm in the US. As you may have heard, there's a lot of panic buying, relative to arms & ammo. I just made my last big ammo purchase. I usually shop online because the prices are better. Shipping cost is a little stiff, but sometimes it works out just fine.
Many people on my local forum board have been going from store to store trying to find ammo. They've even started posting the stores where they've seen even a few boxes of this precious commodity. Prices are very high now, with vendor price gouging and the smaller shops going to the large chain stores to buy that ammo, then mark it double to sell in their shops.
Having said that, I got a 'heads up' that some 220gr FMJ, South African PMC .45 cal ammo was back in stock at one of the on-line vendors. I went ahead & ordered some on Feb. 20th. It just arrived on March 12th. I don't know the currency conversion, but including shipping, the cost was US$313.00 for 1000 rounds (20 boxes).
I know you guys like Eye Candy, so I will post a pic.
