I just found some Wolf 223 online 55 gr.@ $358 per 1,000. Might be a good price right now not sure. I ordered it as future trading stock since I have no firearms in that caliber.

I am sitting on the sidelines for the time being due to prices and shortages.

I have over the last few years stocked enough ammo and reloading components to last me for a while. If prices continue up I will probably shoot less, and if prices moderate, I will keep my costs down.

I still find some limited amount ammo at good prices at Wally World, with frequent visits to see what is on hand.

Let me just clue all of you in... if you waited until now to stock up, you were SADLY mistaken and have nobody to blame but yourselves.

"buy cheap and stack deep" should have been your moto last summer when prices were almost to where it was back in 2005.

Prices for factory ammo this past summer were the same as they were back in 2005? Wow, I didn't realize they were that bad back in 2005.

I got back into shooting back in early 2008. Bought WWB 9mm at Wallyworld for $19/100, this summer it was $23-$24. I bought a couple Remington UMC 250 Value packs of 45 acp back in 2009 for $75 each. Last I checked at Wallyworld a couple months ago they were $96 for the same box.

The anti-gun nuts are going to be looking for ways to restrict ammo since there are simply too many guns in circulation. They will be aiming for primers since that's about the only thing that can't be manufactured.

Very high taxes are being discussed again also. Like Cigarettes, I always thought that was the way they would do it.

"They will be aiming for primers since that's about the only thing that can't be manufactured"

Not exactly true. It is difficult, but not impossible, to "reload" fired primers, and I have done it. My method involved cutting out the dots in paper cap gun caps, and punching the fired cup flat. It does work, but is an emergency measure only. With enough knowledge, and the proper chemicals, one could make up his own primer composition. In any event, I am now saving my fired primers just in case.

Never heard that one, but it sure makes sense!
