people are panic buying, but it's past the time to buy ammo now...

Assault rifles have become hot ticket items as gun control talks amp up.
“It’s tremendous, the increase in sales that we’ve had, we’ve increased ammo sales, AR-15s, you name it,” Larry’s Gun Shop representative Ron Abernathy said.
Stores statewide are struggling to keep up with the rush. Even ammunition has been hard to come by as gun owners stockpile supplies.
“There’s a lot of people that are scared [they won’t be able to buy, following new gun control regulations], and that’s a lot of the reason for ammo being scarce and hard to find,” Abernathy said.

That’s insane. I bought 300 CCI Mini Mags at Walmart yesterday for under 25 bucks.

Beware of the risk of ordering from Bud’s.
Yeah....but they had some great, great deals a year or so ago on Lake City SS109 and steel core 7.62X39.......they came in ammo cans and in sealed tins. The only thing I got recently was I picked up 200 rds of 223 DRT I’d been meaning to order....they took 3 weeks plus to process. There was virtually nothing else available but those.
I’ve never had a problem. Tell me about yours.
5.56 Nato (5.56x45mm), Federal XM855F, 62 Grain Steel Penetrator Lead Core Full Metal Jacket Bullet. 300 Round Box.
I’d like to know how and when you ordered from Cheaper than Dirt.
I have been trying to load their site for over 2 weeks. I have tried to get on using every computer in my house, including my iPhone.
I just tried your link and it too doesn’t work. Tried from Google, still nothing. I have spent 2 weeks just trying to get on the site... nothing.
So, how are you doing it??
that's $1200 for 900 rounds... another $400 to bring it to 1200 is $1600
plus taxes, shipping and handling
damn near the same price
Have you tried going to their site using another browser...perhaps your browser is blocking their site. I'm using Firefox.
I just got on CTD with IE...so I guess browser is not the problem. Due you have a parental control turned on that might block ammo and gun sites?
guns and ammo are more valuable than gold to me
But,guess what, had to buy ammo storage boxes so all these packs of ammo weren't jumbled together. Ammo storage boxes are not easily found, either - the most popular are not plentiful. Plus, needed shoulder strap for the 22 lr. The straps were easy to find, but not the storage boxes.
This morning I found the right boxes for individual cartridges of those various rounds but still needed two generic storage boxes for extra packs. FOUND ZOMBIE AMMO BOXES! They are good MTM boxes with place for lock, with a big picture of ZOMBIES on them - no way to not know what's in these boxes.
I found the MTM ZOMBIE ammo boxes on Amazon and not on any gun supply website. I am through with buying what I need to kill zombies with numerous weapons. My defense weapons belong to me and Hussein can pound sand, plus I live in Texas and we'll put that sucker in jail if he comes for our guns.
I get on every time. You have other tech problems.
This is strange as heck, it doesn’t matter what I do, it does not open. About a month ago I ordered extra 30 round mags for my 5.56 and I have never heard back from them. I guessed that they had gone out of business until I saw your post.
LOL... I don’t need parental control, unless my wife locked me out because I have spent nearly 2k on gun stuff this past month.
What are some of the best places to get ammunition to stock up on?
Right now, I think it's luck to find ammo. I went to every gun company/supply on the web I could find and checked them every day because as soon as they get some, it's gone. If you check every day, you will eventually find some. I couldn't find a rifle, either, but by checking every day, up popped one in stock and I ordered it right then.
And not all .223/5.56 is created equal. I only buy IMI, Lake City or Winchester Q3131.
What is a good place to order it online, even if there is a delay in having it shipped?
“What is a good place to order it online, even if there is a delay in having it shipped?”
I think Cabela’s, http://www.cabelas.com/ is a good place to look. That’s where I found Remington 22lr hollow points with delivery in two weeks. That was not a backorder. Some places allow a backorder and some are not even doing that since they have no idea when they will get any. I think Cabela’s is getting in ammo faster than others.
Website worked for me. You must have a problem with your browser or something.
