My theory is that the reason they are buying up all the ammo is that they haven’t been successful getting our guns. Hence, they will have all the ammo, and we aren’t able to get any...

Hey, it’s just a theory I have, and I know it sounds a bit crazy, but in this day and age, ya just never know.

Who here knows about reloading?

Is it hard to get into?

There's plenty of calibers they aren't buying, with plenty of guns chambered for them out there. I scored a few boxes of .300 Savage, .32-20, and .38 Super today.

There was plenty of ammo in the store Sunday when I went shopping.Anyway,if you were waiting until now to buy your ammo-well that’s just poor planning.

Yep, a billion rounds of cop killer bullets were delivered to the National Weather Service. The forecasters are coming to get us.

Open your eyes, its been the citizens buying everything that will go bang. Likely half of what Gubmit has bought has already been sold on the black market.

From what we have seen of the Homeland Security (big buyer of ammo)they can’t hit their own butt with both hands, much less hold off a shite-load of PO’d citizens.

Just remember, “somebody” knows which armories all of that stuff is going to.

Ammo is a consumable.
Your theory makes about as much sense as solving obesity by buying up all the soda and chips.

While I was working unloading my FFL’s trucks full of ammo, firearms, optics etc for the past 28hrs straight, I asked a CorBon/Glaser rep about the shortage, and he said it’ll be over soon, IF the EPA doesn’t interfere w/ pending lead regs or they don’t try to bring microstamping ammo, back..
