Me and my son were shooting this Browning Pro-40 (which is the Browning version of the FNP 40, as FNP owns Browning) + a Springfield Armory .40 cal XDm w/ 3.8" Barrel (not the new compact) + a Smith and Wesson M&P AR15 5.56mm (.223) w/ S&W factory installed Adams Arms Piston System.
I am actually only buying brass-cased NATO spec 5.56mm ammo not the .223 ;> While the NATO spec 5.56mm costs a bit more Silver coin, the steel-cased .223 crap fails to extract in each of my 3 piston rifiles(!) about every 4-5 rounds.

$20 was the only real "hurtle" along the way. $30 went down pretty easy. $40 apparently is going down just as easy but there will be at least a brief struggle there. Next real "absolute" resistance point is the all time high from January 1980. That will probably prove to be almost as stubborn as the $20 level. We shall see.

I was just discussing this with fellow coworkers this morning. I predict a steady climb to near $50 by early summer.....then a "correction" down to $42-$44 shortly after.....followed by a lull at that level for remainder of summer, then a steady climb past $50 in early-mid fall. Im calling a 2011 top at $55.....and a 2011 close right in that neighborhood.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. There will be corrections along the way, with a big one at the great psychological massif of $50, but I am not selling.

Any nice round number is considered magic by some PM investors.

<< <i>How much will smack down be? >>
No sign of a smackdown yet. People are buying like crazy from what I can see.
<< <i>I'm gonna unload some more 90% after it recovers from the morning dip that JPM usually gives us.
Buying more .40 cal & .223 with some of the procedes.
..had to comment - I was shooting both .40 cal (XD 40 V10) and .223 (RRA AR15) this weekend.

Ebay was nuts last night. People were paying way over spot on 90% and .999 all night long.
What happened with ETF volumes.
Just trying to pinpoint this latest trigger.
Seems something sparked the buying frenzy at these new highs, why would people wait for highs to induce buying.

It took 3 months to jump $10 so $50 by the end of April is a bit presumptuous.

Will $50.00 also be "magic"?
How about $100.00?

Yes, to all the above
<< <i>How about $100.00? >>
I don't know about you but $100 oz would be magic in my book!!!
Why do vendors sell thing for $199.99 rather than $200.00, or 99 cents rather than a buck?

Not today, but perhaps tomorrow?

i think most of that has been factored in.
and there's still some uncertainty about what's happening on Capitol Hill.
