I was making light of all the naysayers in last weeks 7.62 post who claimed the rumor was BS and there would be no shortage. The rumor probably was bunk but we knew what the end result would be. Panic buying. No way around it.

Yes most likely induced by the U.S. consumer. We will see where this leads us. I predict zip x39 will be available shortly, anywhere. Buy while you can. I took the warning and purchased heavy on brass for my 7.62x39 TC Encore.
