Think ammo prices will drop back down after the election? Atleast after the initial shock? No. They're only going up. Ever see old AIM flyers from 2005? 1200rd cases of South African 308 were like $300, steel case wolf were like $70 delivered. |

We cant see the future, just didnt know if you guys thought it would be even worse after this election and not return to "normal" for some reason |

Just think ammo can on steroids. Some weather stripping and a dehumidifier and you'd be gtg. |

Jobox is interesting,
I have been thinking about a building a wall in the basement. It would give me a 12' 'x 14' hobby/potential reloading room and storage area. I would probably have to pull a permit to build the wall and door. I was looking for a simple partition with a door that I could anchor between the walls but the ones that I have seen are $$$. |

Just received my order of 420 rounds of Yugo 7.62x39 surplus from Samco today.
I then made my twice monthly trip to Cabelas for ammo. I buy smaller quantities there that are priced decent to add to the stash. And finally CMP updated my account so I can order surplus .30-06 for my stash. |

I'm looking at this being a much better "investment" than stocks or tulips could ever be.
Seems pretty certain. And if not, well, that's ok too. I never liked tulips. I do need to rent a storage locker though. It's getting absurd. |

Stocks are doing very well...
while that could change, so could the legality of your previous purchases
The key to buying is to diverseify along with buy low and sell high

If they make me money that is a plus. Ammo I buy and stash. The price only goes up over the years so buy cheap and stack deep. I have my go to SHTF ammo and the rest is just for plinking. |

At $13.50 shipped its cheaper than steel case Wolf 45acp plinking ammo... so disagree with your qualification. Call it reloadable Wolf if you like but that is cheap 45acp no question. ETA: Looks like SWFA has close to the same deal but not available until the 27th. |
