Well, the official 7.62 panic buying has reared its head here.

I've got a case of 7.62x54R coming today. Always nice when the Brown truck drops of goodies at the house.

President just announced that more people have been added to the sanctions list plus a bank. He also said the next group of sanctions will be targeted at certain economic sectors of the Russian economy.

The shortage isn't here yet, at least not apparent on internet sites. Local stock will be the first to disappear. Actually it is already gone in some areas as OP stated.

If you own an eastern bloc rifle or pistol one would be wise to either sell it, stock up on some cheap ammo, or buy dies and brass now.

This adm. won't let a good crises go to waste and congress is likely to support legislation that bans weapons and ammo from Russia.

Heck, My Walmart has .50 BMG!

There is an article in the NY Times that hints that there will be forthcoming sanctions on Arms companies in Russia. So given this I guess its decision time for us who shoot the cheap Russian surplus ammo. Buy or sit it out.

Hope there are a number of 22 LR ammo hoarders and gougers that change their attention to the "Russian calibers". Quite likely 22 LR wil start showing up on shelves that haven't seen them for awhile...
