Ammunition Out of Stock, Not

I can’t imagine burning high dollar safe real estate with range fodder ammo. That’s where guns live.
Good point, but I have more cash invested in my small stash of ammo than I do in my firearms. And most of it was purchased when ammo was cheap.

I concur, my valuable safe space is for Buffalo Bore and other high dollar ammo, practice ammo is in 50cal cans spread around gun room.

$25 a box for ball is NOT coming back! All it means is that they have left the salt out of the vaseline for the time being

LOL

I didnt say you had to pay those prices, just thats its there, you know, for the desperate ones with empty shelved gunshops.

Used to be $189 for 1000, the good old days may NEVER be back
 
Nice safe :)

I'm afraid I'd need a bigger one.
Without doing an inventory count, I have 15 or so 50 cal ammo boxes, and other 8 30 cal. I've discovered that if I want to keep stuff in the boxes, I don't have enough to store everything :o.

I've got 9mm, .45 acp, .32 acp, 9x18 Makarov, in handgun. For some reason I have about 100 rds of .40 S&W (half are JHP), a box of .38 Special and a box of .38 S&W, and I don't have anything in them.

Then for rifles, I have .223/5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x51/.308 (for my semiautos), and 7.62x54R, 7.65x53 Argentine, and 8mm Mauser for bolt. Have 30-30 for the Winchester lever gun.

A goodly few bricks of 22lr, and then a good amount of 12 gauge. That includes a case each of the Challenger Mini's in both target/birdshot, and in slugs, from when Brownell's was clearing them out (they run great in my Shockwave).
 
For those still looking for ammunition, another handy site is

ammoseek.com

search outputs are provided from the least cost per round to the most expensive.

Nearly anything is available, it's the price that opens your eyes...
 
Next Spring, when the media declare the crisis and hunting season is over, how many will “buy cheap, stack deep?” I got several 1K rd cases of 9mm @$169, .38spl +P Ranger Win@299, .223 55gr and 62gr, same price with $50 rebates. .22 lr 5250 rd cases were $199 w/$40 rebates, wish I bought 10 instead of 2. When I needed a new A/C system in July, I questioned my judgement. Now, not so much. Last “crunch” I sold enough to have thousands of rds “free.” This time that ain’t happening. Joe

Next spring it could be much, much worse, no guarantee anything will be back to "normal"

Everyone could be living under California gun rules, think about that

No on-line buying of any ammo, ammunition purchasing licenses with background checks, etc

What did Oddball say? (Kelly's Heroes) "Always with the negative waves, Moriarty." Life will be "normal" again, soon. How long do "bull markets" last in the stock market? 10 years. How long do "bear markets" last? 10 days. Joe
 
Nothing like the large amounts above, but I walked in to the VERY old gun store in town browsing for a 223 bolt action. Walking past the ammo (they had a decent supply) I found one box of CCI 22LR Sub-Sonic. It was $9.99 The box looks super old, but it is sealed. Grabbed it right up so I have it when my suppressor gets here that will fit my M&P AR-15-22. Will check other parts of the forum to see if this ammo will cycle the gun. I feel so lucky I may purchase a lottery ticket too.

Why didn't you just buy 8 lbs of powder every 4 months and save some money?:D

I stopped buying powder by the lb a long time ago.
I have managed to obtain eight pound containers of both Power Pistol and 800X. Unfortunately, my LGS almost never has eight pounders in stock. Ordering online and having it shipped to my house is problematic because my work hours vary so much. I always thought it was goofy that an ammo delivery doesn't require a signature, but somehow primers/powders do.
