FYI: This is an email I just received.
You may not know this but George Soros owns most of the ammunition manufacturing companies and many arms manufacturers as well. He's selling ONLY to the government right now, per WH & DHS orders. My son works for ATK, who owns just about all the rest of the ammunition companies that Soros doesn't own. He tells me that ATK has been ordered by the federal government to curtail sales of ammunition, primers and powder to the retail market. What you see currently on the shelves is old stock and what's left in the warehouses since the CT shootings and new stock will NOT be appearing anytime soon. ATK and Soros' compaies have more than enough government contracts to keep them going for years to come.
Like, Soros' companies, ATK is a huge defense contractor and they've been told to sell ONLY to the DOD, TSA, FBI, DHS and local/federal law enforcement agencies.
My son has seen the proposed pricing schedule for Federal, CCI, Hornaday, Remington, Winchester and several other ammunition manufacturer's lines of ammunition, components, reloading equipment (ATK owns Outers, RCBS, Hoppe and a host of others) and he's flabbergasted. As an example, when the sales of .22 LR bulk ammo resumes, the pricing will be over $50 for a 535-round Value Pak. They're also going to raise the prices by 300-400% on dies, presses, powder measures and the like.
He's in management there at ATK in Salt Lake City and they're NOT happy with it all all. They firmly believe this will basically shutdown the civilian market while leaving the government as the only purchaser of their products.
it's not good to keep a low supply at any point...i can only say in my area (central virginia) i can find primers,etc....you will save a LOT of $$ reloading
