[colossians323]

Just checked my spreadsheet.

7/1/2010 .046 for 22lr Winchester
8/1/2010 .24 for 9mm S&B
9/1/2010 .36 for .45 Remington
3/1/2011 .395 for 5.7x28 FNH
2/1/2013 .90 for 5.56 PMC


Total on hand 54850 +-

About a three year supply for a shooter, and a life long supply for someone who just likes to look at it

From The Lewiston-Tribune in Idaho this morning... Ammunition hard to come by

We can't meet demand. We can't afford to invest in new infrastructure just to have it sit idle. We're producing as fast as we can. Nobody has ammo. It's new shooters, the paranoid, hunters, profiteers... Don't blame us.

Same 'ole, same 'ole.

These manufacturers think it's temporary? Under the enemy's full control of the government AND mail in elections?
If they up infrastructure, they (customers) will come. For a long time.

Remember when dudes were freaking about DHS buying up 1.5 billion rounds post Sandy Hook?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I suppose he should say so. My , if it was meant in jest.
Leave it as a statement to the many others on this forum who do support the Democrats dogs.

While he might have benefited from a sarcasm smiley. It was all in jest.

I seriously doubt that anyone knows which way price & availability is headed.

Ammo was plentiful and cheap in the last 6yrs that I've been in this, what are you talking about?

As far as I can tell, the shortage only started about 9-12 months ago. Before then, I was able to get whatever I wanted at a fraction of current prices.
