These new ammo plants are some of the first major expansions in American ammunition manufacturing capacity in about 10 years, and couldnt happen sooner.

The supply of ammo will reach an equilibrium again, just as it always does.
One thing that has truly been missed in this latest turbulence is the debt of gratitude we all owe to Walmart. By not jacking up their prices on ammo they have prevented an almost certain permanent inflation in ammo prices. We will see if their downward price pressure can stem the tide.
I am not a pro or anti-Walmart guy, but shooting enthusiasts should give credit where credit is due. They have earned my business for ammo and I have lots of friends who feel the same way.

...and should have the space and tooling to manufacture something to the tune of 2 to 3 billion rounds of ammo a year. Well, that takes care of me. What about the rest of y'all?

There has been an ammunition factory in Loanoke, AR for as long as I can remember.

Taxes are going to have to go up for the feds to soak up the additional supply.

i've actually been able to find 9mm, .40 and .45 ammo at Wally's the last few weeks at normal prices, but STILL no .22's

I drive by it on I-40 going to Tennessee from Oklahoma quite often. Lately I’ve fantasized about an “Italian Job” scenario with the price of ammo.

Lately Ive fantasized about an Italian Job scenario with the price of ammo. Yeah, me too, but that CraigsList ad "For Sale: 24,835 tons of ammunition. Serious inquiries only" is gonna make tongues wag in the wrong places.

Cabela’s has had .22LR Mini Mags for $8.99 per hundred for weeks. Also check Sportsmans warehouse.

Time for Remington to pull the plug on its NY operations and relocate taking its tax base with it.
To: ez
Bass Pro, exit 407, TN. $7.99 per hundred, limit 3 per day.

Should have mentioned it’s exit 407 on I-40. Think Dollywood.

Remington was established in 1816. NY state probably thought there was no way they'd make good on their promise to leave NY if they passed their gun laws -
Now I hope they follow the lead of some other ammo manufacturers and refuse to sell to gov’t or law enforcement - and leave the purchasing to the public

Remington is definitely tied down to New York for the foreseeable future, due to state-financed facility renovation and expansion. So far, I haven’t heard anything about them moving their corporate headquarters out of NY.

If you have a military friend you can get him to buy you a box at the BX/PX. I got a box of 325 .22LR for $15 that way.
