Even Winchester white box at WallyWorld is priced out of sight. If that isn't bad enough, patched round balls propelled by Swiss black powder are as high as 60¢ per shot for a .54 cal percussion rifle.
Who's going to pay the $100 for pistol ammo or the $50 for a little black powder practice on Saturday morning at the range? Will only the wealthy or government agents be able to afford arms?
What's driving up the price of ammo? #1 -The militarization of local police after the LA shoot out. Biggest customer at any WallyWorld, ammunition display: local police officers on their way to the range.
I was just running my Dillon, cranking out.45 ammo, in honor of this moment. Later in the day I’ll be going to visit the gravesite of Eugene Stoner.
