SHORTAGE...

I checked at the local wal-mart today and their sign was saying one box only of 22rf and 223 but none available.
 
They're trying. If all the ammo that shows up at the local Wally at 0630 wasn't gone by 0631, it'd get better. Folks, who have had a box or two of cartridges on hand their whole lives, have become a herd of hoarding wildebeests running before the lion gets them. Except there ain't no lion. Just a lot of talk about "a lion that might be coming." Happens every morning at the local Wallybox, the old (and young) codgers have made a game of it. I recently "relieved" one of the locals of 1K M855 Federal for $400, 4 box 550 Federal .22's for $100 and 11 box of ball and hp 9mm and .38spl with 6 very nice large ammo cans for $120. All in one trip. Joe

Kraft says that Velveeta cheese is in short supply but expect a quick resolution. Why can't ammo suppliers do that??

Pretty simple, cheese makers are in a very competitive business. They know how to produce a product, even if it has a shelf live. It means they're awake and on the ball. Ammo makers have had it so good for so long they're asleep at the wheel and don't care. Its the kind of lazy attitude some makers get from living in tall cotton too long. Its the kind of attitude that has pretty much wrecked American industry. If there was an alternative I'd abandon the US makers in a flash. They don't deserve our business.

Because nobody is AFRAID of cheese. People fear what they don't understand and everyone understands cheese. :rolleyes:
 
I got an email, today, that said Soros and his buddies are buying up ammo and everything associated with it as fast as possible. I wonder why?

Velveeta isn't cheese, it is cheese food. Now tell me what cheese food is. Is it something you feed cheese or something you feed people? Ivan

Since you asked....:D

Milk, whey, skim milk, milk protein concentrate, water, milkfat, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, modified food starch, contains less than 2% of salt, calciumphosphate, dried corn syrup, canola oil, maltodextrin, lactic acid, sorbic acid as a preservative, sodium alginate, sodium citrate, cheese culture, enzymes, apocarotenal and annatto (color).

and actually it is referred to as "PASTREURIZED RECIPE CHEESE PRODUCT"

The ammo manufacturers "can't do that" because someone with 30 pounds of Velveeta in his fridge isn't going to the grocery store every morning and buying all of the next shipment "just in case".

Or to resell, since the black market in Velveeta is kinda small.
 
This is the guy who has been stockpiling all of the cheese...

60 percent of cheese is natural cheese. 50 percent of the remainder is called some thing else. 20 percent of what’s left of the something else is called process cheese and the remainder of process cheese is called cheese food.
 
I hear Remington is building another factory, and cci was closed 2 weeks over Christmas.

I expect it to be better this spring. It was getting better until Christmas happened. I figure they're back to full swing.

I blame the guys who buy all the ammo as soon as they find it. I want to know how much they have stockpiled. I believe we're shooting less as a community, but I want to believe the factories are still producing the same amount of ammo. The only thing I can blame are the guys stockpiling

Somebody better tell that to Louisiana Joe-I think that's his new business plan :rolleyes:
From what I understand even Kraft is moving the vast majority of its' cheese production to the middle east. A new subsidiary called
Cheeses of Nazareth.

Cheese? I thought we were talkin' Velveeta!? :D

Was hearing about this on the radio this evening. Bless her heart the radio gal made some joke about "just using real cheese." Say WUT?? :eek:

Some people just don't get it... :rolleyes:
 
Oh but they are

The folks who make any number of cheeses are afraid or processed cheese food product, so regardless of where you draw the line (if at all) between what is and what is not cheese all you need is a large enough interest group to convince a politician that it makes sense to pass legislation that requires your competitor to label their product in such a way that makes your product look better by comparison so you can charge more for it and cast aspersions on your competitors. Some folks say that it is not cheese if it doesn't still have live bacteria in it. I like kraft and velveta, but cheezewhiz not so much.
 
I find the generic store brand cheese food works fine in my cheese ball gun, so there is no problem. Tin foil shortages are still a concern.
 
Must be true my Wally World had a sign limit two to a customer and the folks that were usually lined up in the ammo line were in groceries.:eek: Something about making a killing like with Twinkies.

Velveeta doesn't need refrigeration until it been opened. Start a rumor about a shortage of anything and it brings out the scalpers. If they think there's a dollar to be made they will be there. We've seen it before.

True on the move. They've hired a gent named David to be the cow shepherd. They erred, he knows how to handle corporate giants. :rolleyes:
