Maybe he went by NICS checks, rather than industry feedback. Any idea what percentage of guns sold are used?
I bought all mine for $11.99 per box and $80 for 500 at the beginning of Covid. However, the problem is I rarely go to the range anymore to shoot hundreds of rounds like I used to——However, I do practice with Itarget pro as it does help with muscle memory and sighting in a target.
The prices are insane.
During Obama’s ammo shortage I began buying Military ammo......sealed stored and some even have the primers seal coated.
Then I started buying civilian ammo. Finally stopped in 2019.
Never expected it to get this bad.
Finally I did something right!!
I haven’t even checked. Is there a heavy demand on bolt action rifle ammo?
I can’t even buy 9mm Brass and when I do find some it’s about .26 cents each.
I guarantee you here will not be a great ammo glut in 2022. I know this because once prices return to normal I will be buying literally tens of thousands of rounds.
After the Obama shortage I decided to keep a stockpile of at least 10,000 rounds. Almost a year and a half of not buying ammo because I refuse to pay 3X as much as normal means I am running out in several calibers. OK. Lesson learned. Next time the stockpile will be at least 30,000 rounds. That way I can last years without buying ammo the next time we have a massive ammo shortage.
Who knew that ammo would also be an investment that would appreciate in value.
Yea but most of that is the primer component problem and secondarily on a priority basis, ammo makers scale back those calibers after hunting season.
I’m glad I stocked up when Obama was headed for the WH.
—while only part of the pricing, copper at over $4.00/lb is in the picture, price -wise—
If warm weather brings back the BLM/Antifa Follies, shortages will resume. .
At the store I work, the ammo shelves are bare, even of the obscure rounds.
That's true for other internet retailers, also - prices are definitely coming down. The Remington ammo production facility in Arkansas is apparently back in production (under new ownership), which will definitely help...
Yeah, I had convinced myself to stick with just a few calibers of ammo for ease of inventory. Darned if a 5.56mm did not come along and confuse things.
I spent way too much during the Obama years, but the upside is now I can comfortably watch from the sidelines.
And even though I have enough ammo to shoot, I choose to preserve it and shoot the bow and arrow. Hopefully there isn’t a run on arrows. You never know lately.
Seriously?
The toss of a coin would be more likely to produce an accurate answer than the idiots at the linked website.
