Ever since Russian forces invaded Ukraine, conservative Americans have panic hoarded all types of ammunition, according to a top US online gun retailer.

Liberals have already declared they will cut and run.

Silly article. There is much more ammo in the stores now than there has been in a year. Ammo run actually appears to be about over.

What do you believe all that ammo is going to be used for?

What I find interesting is the amount of 7.62X39 mm being sold. I don’t have an 5.56 platform, but lots of 7.62 stuff.
Maybe it’s like the movie “We were soldiers” when the Sargent major was asked why he didn’t have a rifle and just a side arm, the reply was “when I need one there will be plenty around to pick up.”

I suspect if anything he would have been much more in reaction to the Canadian government locking down the bank accounts of citizens.

I wish I had back the 400 rounds of M-2 Ball I burned up two years ago! Haven’t fired a shot since. All but one sighted in.

Lucky me! I opened a container I haven’t been in in 30 years and found two boxes unopened boxes of 500 rds of .22 LR Federal ammo.

who says individuals shouldn’t have AR-15s. Hopefully we can now all agree that people that want them should own them, the more the merrier.

Just by that one list, it’s obvious that 9mm has surpassed .22lr as the most ubiquitous ammo. I checked on CheaperThanDirt.com a while back and they were the same price.

You get more bang for the buck with 9mm because it’s more powder, larger bullet, higher kinetic energy, at the same price.

Most gunshot deaths were from .22lr because that was the most ubiquitous ammo until about the 1990s or so. Eventually, the 9mm round will overtake the lead in total deaths after a few years — .22lr had more than a 100 year head start, after all.

Taking a look at ammo prices via ammo tracking website Ammo Prices Now, they report 9mm prices are steady near 30 cents a round on Saturday.

Prices I'm seeing locally (Arizona) are closer to $0.48 per round plus tax, in 50 or 100 round boxes. Despite the high prices, a Type 2 FFL I visited today said he expects to be sold out of 9mm some time next week...

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