Were you drunk? Did someone have a gun to your head? It obviously wasn't too expensive if you found the need to shell out the money for it. It's not like you were buying a kidney or something. It's a recreational expense. So why whine about it?
Please explain the theory behind why a manufacturer would decrease output during a time of increased demand? Did they suddenly decide to stop making profits? Don't tell me about WalMart or CTD of some other retailer that decides to limit sales. They manufacture nothing and have nothing to do with the general availability of ammo.

I suppose I could say that too. Though my scouting days are long over.
It's always good to to have the ability to foresee a possible problem and prepare for it!

I have plenty for me, actually just discovered some more in a safe clean out, I forgot I had.
Traded 3 boxes of Auto Match to a guy at work for this Benchmade Bailout. He was happy, I was happy.
Man, I'll take that deal all day, every day, let me know if he's up for any more trades like this ...!

What is the knife worth? Around here boxes of AutoMatch go for $50.00 a piece.

Just did a ammo inventory and safe organization and have a good quantity of all the calibers I shoot as well my reloading supplies. Checking the price tags reminded me of the good'ol days. Out of the 4,000 rounds of various brands of 22's, I have 3 bricks of Blazer marked at $8.99. That's like striking gold in this day and age.
We used to shoot every month till about three months ago.
This week when I told my Grandson that it will cost $1.50 per Bullitt to shoot my ARs his eyes got BIG.
He said, "Let's hold off Grampa. You must be rich to have all of that ammo in your safe."
With all of the 22LR that I have I went ahead and bought a CMMG 22LR Conversion kit.
I keep seeing the commercial with the guy saying to "buy gold in these times of uncertainty."
I'm not an ammo "hoarder" but by the looks of my total 10 year accumulation of ammunition I made a wiser investment than gold.

I learned from the .22 rimfire "pandemic" from 8 years, or so ago. After that famine ended I stocked up on whatever .22 rimfire ammunition that was available:
Didn't bother with some of the Remington or Winchester stuff, that was being offered though.
My hope now, is that whomever bought the Remington ammunition line of products that they'll get those back to being what our "go to" .22 rimfire was back in the good days when Remington .22 rimfire was King!

I saw cases of Remington target shotshells at the big box sporting goods store at "normal" prices. $75/250. So at least that part of Remington ammo must be up and running.
It's not skeet shooting season for me, so I left them. They'll show up at $55 sooner or later. Fingers crossed.

We went too Wally world this afternoon and got Ggreatson a machete. I have a 1945 True Temper and the other day he was using it too dig up rocks so I bought him an Ozark Trail. It will soon be dull as a froe. I didn't see any ammo of any kind in the store not even shotgun shells. Larry

Larry,
I have a 1945 TT Machete also. my story is I found my wife one day edging the sidewalk with my Kabar. Went and bought her all sorts of garden tools after that.
