I only have 500 rounds stockpiled, but what I *do* have is two sets of NVG’s.

I have some 1943 30-06 and some German 8mm from WWII that still shoots OK. The 8mm is kind of hot.

You can’t even find 30-30 anywhere, it seems.

We haven’t even gotten back to anything approaching normal a full 2 years after the riots and the critical shortages of guns and ammo started. Its still very difficult to find calibers other than 9mm and .223. Prices although lower, are still at least twice what they were 2 years ago.

My goodness! People aren’t “hoarding” ammo at the moment because there isn’t enough available at a reasonable price for anyone to hoard. People DID start hoarding ammo once Obama was elected. But that’s because they saw the writing on the wall. Right now, people are restocking ammo when they can find it, but that’s not exactly hoarding. This whole “buy ammo when you can find it” thing is not exactly new. Nor is it newsworthy. Anyone that has been keeping up, buys it when they can find it and afford the price.

or, it could just be, after an extended period of short supply, there’s finally available inventory.

Oh yea, got completely stripped and cleaned the old fashioned way. Vinegar then soap and warm water. Followed with a soaking in a warm oil gun bath.

Actually, we can get JHP 9mm but not ball. It’s exactly the opposite of a few months ago.
