The ammo stays good for a very long time.
Not to worry. You'll never catch me anywhere near The People's Democratic Republic of Massachusetts.
When you buy a gun you buy all the ammunition you think you’ll need
$48 for 500 rounds. Holy smokes. I miss the good ol’ days before my rifle endedup at the bottom of a lake. $5 a 550 box pre Obama. 9mm on sale 2 boxes for $7. It’s a good thing Ammo isn’t in the official inflation calculations.
Nope. Most of my FR work is iPad or PC based. The reloading bench laptop comes in handy doing research on new load “recipes.”
I eat ptemisr for lunch. ;)
cheaperthandirt.com has 22LR/250rds for $19.79, so if you shop around you can find a deal.
And, of course, if you buy in larger quantities, the shipping is waived or lessens the overall price.
I suppose the panic buyers have a large stash to sit on, but .22 ammo is still scarce and expensive. The ammo makers made out like bandits.
Prices are not down yet. Drop the price a little and see what happens.
Yep.
If I could find it at a reasonable price, I’d buy at least 10,000 rounds of .22LR right now.
As it is, as long as I use cast projectiles, I can shoot any of my centerfire stuff cheaper than rimfire, and don’t have to conserve it for TEOTWAWKI.
Ammo sales are not up.
Yet......
I personally believe that a lot of consumers over-stocked pulled that ammo as quick as they could off those retail shelves and took it home and put it in their own basement, he said.
No such thing as too much ammo. No matter how high the pile.
Or if gov’t is buying production to starve us little people.
Yes, this article doesn't make sense to me.
There's plenty of ammo out there but not necessarily in the calibers people want.
The really good large distributors still have light-weight ball ammo, nothing wrong with that.
But if you are looking for heavier grain or, heaven forbid, match grade ammo, you either won't find it or you will pay a buck and a half a pop.

Luckygunner, freedommunitions, cheaperthandirt, ammoman. Just bought another 1k of 9mm fmj reloads for $200 including shipping. Works fine in my GLOCKs. Put 100 rds downrange today. 3x5 cards are quaking in fear tonight.
And ,,,
Can I whine about .22?
Where is the Mini-Mag?
Now you tell me!
Speaking of which, this weekend you care to show off that extra bit of the back 40 you mowed? Care to put it to good use & carry out more than we bring back?
Put smiles on Brent/Keith/Bob’s faces? Not to mention ours.
No alarm clock this weekend. I’ll hardly know WTF to do w/ myself. ;o)
I’m broke, so there’s that.
