He thinks consumers built up a vast inventory at home and are still feeding off of it, so the demand isn’t as high. “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.

(A wink and a smile here) ;o)

Except for this quote that destroys the entire ptemisr:

“However, production of ammo for those types of firearms — 9mm and .223 — is at capacity. “If I had more 9mm, I could sell it. If I had more 5.56 and .223, I could sell it,” he said.”

It’s not because there is a shortage, it’s because the gun dealers and suppliers are not selling it...

I have a connection and is very difficult to buy ammo...

Makes you wonder how many of them are Liberals. Maybe after the recent riots and Baltimore and Milwaukee in flames, some Liberals are turning. Of course, they still have to pretend that they hate guns so that they continue to be invited to their cocktail parties.

Well, I for one am tired of buying it, just to have it sink to the bottom of the river before I get it into my super-secret hoarding warehouse.

Which is empty, by the way...all my ammo and guns and food cache having sunk to the bottom of the river in a terrible boating accident.

FU Feds.

I have a sense that gun prices aren’t in the minds of buyers, unreasonable, but ammo costs skyrocketed and never came back to reasonable levels.

It looks like Killery is winning the whole ammo and gun supply will disappear out of stores. Was in minnisota or wisconsin that passed an anti gun law and sold like 2000 guns in one day with lines waiting to get into stores.

I still don’t see 22lr in the 500 packs. I have only seen a box of 50 that cost the same as 9mm.

The last 4 or 5 times I tried to buy ammo, they were out.

You get to the point where you realize your ammo supply may outlast you.

When you buy a gun you buy all the ammunition you think you’ll need

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.

No such thing as too much ammo. No matter how high the pile.
