We panic like there is no tomorrow. We create stories without facts. Ban has not happened yet.
It's a ploy. Now stores are starting to hoard and will later put it out with higher prices. Price Gouging has began. Wake up everyone! Stop the panic. Instead, conserve ammo. Don't be fooled by hearsay and bite the ploy

If you're not a Panic buyer, then you're good! I'm just saying we will suffer, if we 223/556 ammo consumer keeps biting into this SCARE tactics that leads
to Ammo Out of Stock if not Available with Prices Doubled. There's plenty of Ammo but Vendors wants the consumer to buy it with a PRICE because of the BAN BS thing going on in the News if not Hearsay. We the consumers are smarter than that..... Basic Law of Supply and Demand! |

Go back to your cave, OP!
It's not my fault that ammo prices are high; it is directly the ATF's fault because they've proposed a ban on arguably one of the top two most common practice rounds. Your logic is bad and you should feel bad. |

If you say "I panicked when the semi truck smashed into the side of my car", I think you are still panicking. No? "Panic" has become synonymous with "Paranoid" in the context of ammo/gun bans. Mainly by gun owners who are condescending towards other gun owners who want to buy whatever it is that's slated for the the chopping-block. If there is a real, credible threat that it will be banned then it certainly doesn't make you paranoid when you run out to buy it (while you still can), even if you are slightly panicked. |

I have not bought anything, but every time I come on here I am seeing people buying thousands of rounds.
Why? because they are in a PANIC. |

I bought ammo at a price I was willing to pay. When the price of ammo goes above that I don't buy it. I am not seeing the problem with that scenario.

I haven't noticed a shortage in ammo availability, nor any price increases..... and I have been buying it up in very large quantities lately. But, there must be some neckbearding going on somewhere, because I bought out all the .223 and 5.56 at my local Wamart this morning to use for target practice this coming weekend, and the ZQI boxes were all marked with "Walmart" written in marker. I have purchased a few hundred boxes of this stuff over the last couple of months, and this is the first time I have seen this. Clerk said it was to discourage buying/reselling by LGS. The other boxes I purchased this morning (federal 100 packs, perfecta 50 packs etc..) were not marked however. All 51 boxes of ZQI I bought were marked like this:

If 55gr is OK with you I was in Cabela's today and they had plenty, had the 20 round boxes of Federal XM193 on sale for $6.49 (not exactly dirt cheap, but not unreasonable either), and had plenty of them. They also had Russian steel case 55 and 62 grain for a bit cheaper.
