My friend makes custom handgun ammunition. He is now 25,000 rounds behind orders because he can’t find bullets at ANY price. He knows another guy that’s 90K rounds backordered.
Something is boiling beneath the surface. Either the feds are ordering massive amounts of ammo to keep the manufacturers too busy to fill civilian orders or there are millions of Americans preparing for war. I hope it’s the latter.
There has been no 223 or 9 mm in the stores for several months. Our local BiMart gets maybe 2 dozen bulk boxes of 22 ammo in a week, no auto load rounds at all. If the government isn't buying it then someone else is because it is not showing up at retail.
