    When I first got into guns only a few years ago and joined up on Calguns, all of the experienced members advised me to stack deep while it was cheap and could be delivered to your door

    Best advice I ever got about ammo.. my UPS guy hated me for a few years but thanks to the CG brain trust, me and my boys are set

      Just looked at the stuff on Gunbroker.

      5.56 is around $1/round for S&B or Privi Partizan, amazing.

      I can find it at reasonable prices locally, sporadically.

        I've had a gun for years; but I got into guns this year- unrelated to covid/riots. I got into it understanding its not cheap, also I've come to learn that BassPro sell ammo at reasonable prices (compared to what ive seen). I just call ahead and ask what they have or coming in and buy 1k rounds at a time...
        I cant wait to buy ammo at a lower price point and have a meaningful personal stash, but i ain't gonna ***** about the prices now. Besides, business is good for me so it just goes from one hand to the other.

          To someone who has a need and the money, the ammo is a blessing. Get over it.

            I've got 282 rounds of Turk 8mm I'll give away free. How does that work?

              I had trouble selling Federal at 70 cents a round on gb, I think because I can't take credit cards.

                yep, a lot of Tula, aluminum, and steel case stuff more than usual. I'd be dumping all of my weird rounds, but 500 isn't worth anyone's time.

                  No one is forced to buy it, right? If two people make a good faith deal, both get what they need. It's a free market.

                      I mean, yeah if someone is willing to pay someone the current "market rate" for previously cheap ammo... why wouldn't you sell it.

                      I would gladly sell most of my factory ammo for a profit if it wasn't for CAs BS laws...

                          Hearing a lot of boo hooing, sandy hook should have taught everyone in recent years to stock up on even 22lr. I remember cci minimags going for 100$ During that time

                              Turk is reputed to be the hottest of 8mm. Having shot some I'd definitely agree.
                              True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.

                              Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

                                To all of you waiting for things to normalize so you can buy ammo... you should buy primers and powder instead. Set yourself free!
