I was at the Hamburg Cabalas today, first time since the end of March. I was totally amazed at how empty the ammo shelfs were. It's kind of scarey when you think about it. If you are not stocked up by now I think you missed the boat....

Sad,I haven't really been following ammo prices lately,I'm fairly confident that I have enough to last several years,however when I looked the other day @ current prices fo r7.62 x39 I was absolutely apalled.I'm afraid that the only way to bring ammo prices back in line is for us all to stop buying it alltogether,then the companies that are jacking the price WAY up will have to come back down.But I don't think the shooting comunity as a whole will participate with this,so I guess were screwed.

I stopped by a few other places also, all the shelfs are empty. This is just nuts, have to wonder if the government has not already put the breaks on the suppliers! Something even wierder than hording is going on here....

The demand has outstripped the supply and the ability to catch up.......

Folks who used to buy 1 or 2 boxes, and now buying a case, people who used to buy a case are now buying 10 cases.

It is just as bad for reloaading components.

I'm fully stocked at 1000 rounds on reserve and 800 in line for range use plus 1200 that will only be used for carry...I'm going back down to a box or two when I can find it instead of 6-10.

.223 is another story but it is price prohibitive at this point.  I need alot more to be comfortable...but thats all mail order, very little Walmart stocking there...

I'm with you, bro. I saw Q3131A1 at a Dick's recently for something like $14 a box. There was plenty on the shelves and no one in line to scoop it up.

muffin, I think we have more to worry about than a spelling error...

thats what you think, it all starts with speling errors. then next thing end of the world. osama/ obama. people get confused then we are all doomed.

havent looked at ammo prices and ill need to soon but kinda scared to since those silly prices i saw at the fun shows in PA were probably the current right ones. . thank god i have enough to "survive" but for fun and practice im fresh out of extra ammo.

Yeah well you live in Jersey so you are screwed anyway! I think you can still shoot BB guns and 22's over there!
I have plenty of plinking and good stuff to last for years, just hope we stay a free state....

yes we are screwed but not that bad really, its still wrong but we can have just about anything we want, just not the original guns by name. and no high caps, which we have anyway just not at the range.

been to the cabal about 3 times. good trips. too busy tackling building projects right now, have a stash of 5.56 and .223, need .45, 7.62/39, 308. now i have to build a 1/12 twist ar on a forging to use the 55gr i have stashed not to be used by my 1/7. which the 62's are for.
