Ammo

[ehart814]

I have 14 rounds of 9mm FMJ. Would be willing to sell for $275. No lowballs, I know what I have!!!!

Seriously tho.... WTF. Why on earth is it so hard to get this stuff? It's crazy. Is it from all the BLM riots? Is it from the coming regime change? Is that really going to drive demand that much???

Pretty irritating.

I mean I'd be really upset about it if I hadn't lost my guns in that awful boating accident.

When Will the Nation’s Ammo Shortage End?

For every American, 2020 will be remembered for COVID-19 and an insane presidential election. In addition to that, gun owners will recall 2020 (and spoiler alert, 2021) for more: the worst ammunition shortage in recent memory. Desperate gun owners have driven hours to pick up just a few boxes of...

Yeah, obviously other than hunting I haven't been doing any shooting. It's good to stay in practice though and as long as this continues I won't be able to.

Ammo manufacturers are producing as fast as they can. Avoid the folks that are price gouging (we don't need ammo that bad). The MFG's are not using there prices to the distributors. We should see inventory pick up a little at a time throughout 2021 but it will be years before it is restocked fully and at normal prices.

Saw something a couple weeks ago where Remington had hired like 200 more people in their ammo plant. Said they needed to be trained yet but like you said, they're pumping it out as quick as they can and are even trying to ramp up production.

And they can't simply open a new ammo plant. The red tape for that is ridiculous and takes over 5 years to get approval only.

Record gun sales to brand new, never before, first time gun owners, due to the unrest in the last year = ammo to erase that awful gun fear with. So, along with our normal range time "needs", another few million are buying for their new found needs.
Hoarders + regulars + newbies = no stock of ammo on the store shelves.....not the same as stored ammo stock, mind you.

Yep, I’m pretty sure I can sell my whole reloading room and it’s contents for a new KRX.

Remington used to run 3 shifts here at the Lonoke Ar. Plant. but I see the parking lot empty @ 4 o'clock every day.

I'm putting a new Winners string on my bow, think I'm kidding, nope! Imagine you with a hand gun and another with a bow facing each other at 50 yards, the broad head is pretty intimidating and you can retrieve your ammo. When the water warms up I'll go get my guns that were lost in the boating accident

Should have went with an ABB bowstring

Wonder if that is a China Virus restriction.

The Winners have been good to me, fire 5 arrows point blank into a target, sight it in and good for at least a year and that's shooting a lot, never had to chase a Winners string, when they go off, time for a new string.

they also have to secure and manage the raw materials...which are also short.
