Added some to my hoard this am...180 rds of turk ss109 at wally world.  Lady told me another shipment is due tonight.  This will compliment my two weekend orders nicely.

neckbeards. Buying it all up locally to drive the price up. The same thing happened after Newtown. Walmart will wait too long to put limits on the ammo.

I got a 420 can of 855 from PSA as soon as I saw the ban posted here.  Other than that, I shot some 9mm from my new PPS43.

It appears the panic spreads fast.  My local wally world was out of most ammo other than hunting rounds.  The one I found ammo at is near work and tends to have a little more on hand just no .22's ever.

Ordered 500rds Independence 5.56 for $154.75

I was able to buy a 1K case of PPU M855 off PSA at $339 right when the panic here started. I initially decided against it as my local ranges don't allow it but it could go towards my SHTF stock which is at 1500rds of SS109 and 500rds of M855. I'm also thinking of selling the SS109 if the ban does go through as my family could use the extra money.

I'm surprised that folk here are panic buying M193 when the a potential ban would not affect it.

You realize ss109 is the designation for the bullet and m855 is the designation for the loaded ammo right?

Ordered 100 founds of .45acp Federal HST, 1000 Hornady .55grain FMJ-BT w/c, 1000 pieces of brass and 2 lb of Accurate 2015, 1000 CCI small rifle primers. And about $600 more in extra reloading equipment to just make it easier and faster than the basics. Can't wait to use my RCBS chargemaster! That ought to speed things up quite a lot. Ordered a lot of other stuff too, but it's stuff like magazines etc.

Had a good ammo week, at least for me.  400 rounds of Fed 124 gr +p HST, 300 rounds of Fed 230 gr +p HST, 100 rounds Speer 125 gr .357, 750 rounds Freedom Munitions 124 gr round nose and 500 rounds of Freedom Munitions .38 special.  I wanted to buy some xm193 as well, but didn't get to it in time and feel like the panic buying has already begun.  I'd rather sit back on what I have saved and wait the price gauging out.

People are preparing for a war. The population(well, anyone with two working synapses) knows it and government knows it.

Buy until it hurts, then buy more.

Went to lgs expecting to grab some mk262 and hornady 75 tap but due knuckleheads cleaning house on everything yet again there was a run on 5.56 but it brought an unexpected and much celebrated surprise. I left with 2k CCI standard velocity and 2k of mini mags and there was still about 26k rounds of cci in various flavors on the shelf.

Got my Wolf Gold today from TheArmory today. 289.99 shipped in  was too good to pass up. Received it in 4 business days.
