That sort of thing is always depressing to hear, especially on top of the effects on small businesses of all the pandemic restrictions.

This kind of anecdote sometimes makes me wonder if this was the goal all along, to institute gun control via making ammo nonexistent. Wasn’t it Chris Rock that used to joke about all the Democrats needed to do was make each round of ammunition cost $10,000 each? | |||

Only ammo I am buying is .22 Mag. One local shop had some CCI for about $15 a box. They ran out and where able to get more in. It is now about $20 a box. I was able to find Speer Gold Dot HP today on line for about $30 and could only order one box. ----------------------------- Always carry. Never tell. | |||

I chose "Nope, never" because I don't feel a need to obtain more ammo right now. In the past I have bought ammo I didn't need when a nice sale occurred, but this is not one of those times. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I've been buying black powder, caps, and balls for my replica Hawken rifle. It's a blast to shoot and prices haven't gone up (although components are getting hard to find). Between this and the amount of. 22lr I have, I'm sitting tight. With one exception, 10mm has been reasonably priced so I've bought some when I've found it. __________________________ | |||

I have enough .380acp, 9x18 Makarov, 9mm, .38 spl and .45acp to last me a while. I'm also OK with .223, 7.62/39 and .308. What I really need is .32acp JHP for my mouse gun. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

I was at the Morgantown, PA gun show this weekend and AMMO was the reason most were there. 9mm ranged from $40-60 a box and it was being bought like crazy. most vendors sold out of what they had. There will be another show next month and the fear is. that same box will be $80-$100! _________________________ | |||

It’s only been a month since the last post in this thread, but I’m wondering now how many responses might be different if it were started today. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

Unfortunately I banked on Trump getting another term as I used up much of my supply, so by the time I pulled my head outta my posterior the prices had jumped. I find a few "deals" that I once would have balked at (found 9mm Para for 56 cents/round, for example) on ammoseek, but I really am not buying a lot at these prices. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Nope. Everything owned is already vetted and deemed reliable - so only occasional range trips to verify manipulation are needed. | |||

Friday I went to the gunshop I sometimes buy ammo from, seeking some 357 Sig ammo. Their ammo shelves were completely bare, even more than when I was there 2 months ago. On my last visit, I at least bought 2 boxes 40 SW ammo at a reasonable price. 美しい犬 | |||

I’m stacked pretty deep, and have been shooting very sparingly. Ammo is available around here in the $700 per 1k of 9mm. I have made the decision that I am training hard this summer with my 22 y/o son. I have 3-3.5k of 9mm that I’m willing to shoot before I get into the ammo I want to retain. As much as it pains me to pay these prices, I enjoy shooting and I enjoy training. I have decided the my personal demand for ammo is inelastic. I dry fire practice both with a red dot and without and it is really helping stay proficient. The hardest part of training is finding a range that allows us to train from holster. Unfortunately, I will be buying at these prices. _________________________ "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last” - Winston Churchil | |||

Nope. Just won't pay it. Airsoft/pellet is the main form of practice now aside from dryfire. When prices come down to a reasonable level I'll go back to purchasing. I have the heart of a lion.......and a lifetime ban from the Toronto Zoo.- Unknown | |||

No loaded ammo for me. I have picked up a few components for a new to me 7/08. A couple weeks ago I did make a straw purchase of 5.56 for a friend who heeded my warnings about 6 months too late. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Despite being pretty well stocked in both 9mm and .223, I've committed to add with the forum group buy and I also picked up a few boxes of 9mm SGA last week at a lower than "normal" price. Being concerned about future prices and availability, I figure it's better to add while I can. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been thinking this for a long time. And, if we're thinking it, you can bet the commies thought it and put their plans in motion. Gun control the old fashion way hasn't worked out for them. So, what better way to turn firearms into worthless paperweights by choking off the flow of ammo. Say, Bloomberg, Soros, Gates, Bezos and other billionaire leftists buying up raw materials needed to make ammo, and we're where we are. This ammo "shortage" has been going on way too long to be logically explained by any other ways, imo. I've been here 46 years and don't recall any other times that ammo shortage has lasted so long.

No doubt it is extremely suspicious. You have to ask "would the industry be satisfied with selling half as much and making twice as much?"  I don't think there is that well made of conspiracy but more likely just a prefect storm brewing for the bad.  | |||
