Both sides are panic buying like never before, for good reason.

I wonder why that may be.
I managed to get two boxes of 300 BLK and one box of Tula yesterday/ the day before for what is on the high end of pre panic prices. Limited to 1 box per caliber per day, so I’ve been swinging by when I can. Sad when that counts as an ammo score. |

Yeah I'm starting to regret having sold all of mine. Doesn't look like the opportunity to replenish is going to come cheap.

I was just wondering about the yearly production rates and where those numbers are today
There are plenty of raw resources for component/ammunition production. Every month ammo production produces a consistent number, is there a graph for 2020? |

Neckbeards are buying it up and selling it.
When you stop buying at astronomically inflated prices the price will go down. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Both sides are panic buying like never before, for good reason. That’s only a part of it. Manufacturers are experiencing issues with raw materials and transportation delays. All that ammunition the Federal CEO was showing on that video was likely destined for the military. I predict that many of the smaller fun stores go out of business as firearms are suffering the same fate. With reloading components at an absolute premium, these smaller shops are fucked. They’ll be closing, unless the government shits more money for them. |

I can't begin to explain the feeling of uneasiness I'm experiencing right now living without any guns or ammo. Simply did not see any of this coming. I'm decently skilled with a bo staff but that isn't going to get me very far when things really start to pop off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Arfcom mantra has been repeated incessantly since I first started here: “Buy cheap, stack deep.” And for at least the foreseeable future, that mantra has been replaced with "buy extremely high and in quantities so low it isn't even deserving of being described as a stack". For the people who didn't lay back some ammo before the current crisis (because they were complacent or maybe just broke), they probably aren't going to be doing much shooting in the next year. Any ammo being found/bought will be in smaller quantities for all but the wealthy. And it will be reserved for serious purposes, not for plinking or general blasting. |

How does one make a primer? there are videos on youtube where federal tours the plant and shows the people making primers and how they do it. the "match" primers really are not any different from the standard line, the folks they put on the match primer line are the ones who have been doing it for years so its more consistent. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I predict that many of the smaller fun stores go out of business as firearms are suffering the same fate. Not necessarily. My local FFL dealer (Pawn shop) said he had about 20K of ammo coming in from various sources. He will not sell by the case (because fuckers will buy it up and triple the price at gun shows). He'll sell by the box and gives a better price if purchased with a firearm. Wife's cousin called me. He picked up a Ruger 556 and the shop said they would sell him a couple boxes of ammo because he bought a firearm. I think a lot of business are doing this; limiting ammo sales to gun sales. Makes sense, most people won't spend money on a gun they can't feed. I've got more than enough ammo, but I'm slowing down on my personal training/shooting. Now is the time for other priorities. Honestly, now that the C19 pandemic is essentially cured, the media and gov't will stop talking about it, the economy has to reopen for positive news on the new administration. People will be able to get out and spend money elsewhere and supplies will catch up to demand. Or we go the other route and a draconian regime eliminates the 2A, taxes gun owners, buys all the ammo and starts shooting opposition... ROCK6 |

Last Wednesday I popped into cabelas north Denver. Picked up 250rds of aguilla for a friend for their 4h kids (5 box limit). They also had crap tons of remington 9mm 115gr fmj for 17.99 a box and a whole bunch of winchester m855 150rd boxes for 74.99 all with 5 box limit. There was so much there it probably lasted through most of the day even with the 5 box limit.
Not saying the ammo shortage is getting less severe but it is coming into stock shortly here and there if a guy has time to look around. |

Got notice last night that a bunch of Wolf X39 I backordered in November is being delivered this week. FedEx guy ain't gonna be happy. The 4 pay plan helps to ease the pain. Still got a bunch of stuff on B/O at Optics Planet I'll probably never see. At least Sportsman's Guide has always come thru for me on their backorders. It's always crazy to get those backorders shipped in and have the current value of the items be 2.5X what I bought it for a couple months back. Better than gold.....unfortunately.

A buddy of mine paid $469 for 1k .223 that was the reject/blemished stuff...said he thought he got a good deal. I was like damn, when its that much for potentially messed up ammo and its a deal its bad times. I think I paid that for 1k of green tip a few months ago and felt like it was high.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Neckbeards are buying it up and selling it. Where are they buying it? The best that even a dedicated neckbeard could do wouldn’t yield a huge profit. Maybe they buy 5.56 at .62-.65 and sell for .80-1.0. This isn’t like early 2013 when you could triple your money. I get the distinct impression that most buyers are holding, not re-selling. And the market pricing and inventory numbers bear that out. |

I never really understood people who sell part or all of their stash to make a "nice profit" in this tenuous political and economic climate.
