CMPripoff. a gunbroker price of an .223 case is a $700 right now. velocity jerked 5.56 to a $919 and no one buys it - i see it sitting there now for 2 weeks, with no tax and free delivery. same as red army .223 they jerked up to $779 - no takers. all this idiocy starts to subdue, slowly.
I hate to admit it, but there's some truth to this. Even with 1-2k rounds, people feel short-handed. There's a lot of comfort in "just having it".When you consider all the time and gas money wrapped up in daily trips to stores that have a 5 box limit - you may be better off paying a premium and getting a case at a premium price.
CMP sells a precision competition grade ammo. It is worth its price
Never thought I'd read that sentenceIt's almost worth buying a 50 BMG rifle at this point just for the low low ammo prices.

My thoughts are, at least 1/2 of new gun owners will continue to shoot sporadically, the other half only wants protection and no range time. If you can show me increasing membership in gun clubs and show how busy they are when ammo stocks are up I'll believe that.What we used to know as "normal" prices and availability is several years away.
The market for ammo is much bigger with millions of new shooters who have no inventory. Demand will outstrip supply for years.
This is not a tinfoil opinion but rather the thinking of someone who has lived through 2 major shortages over the past 10-15 years. This is not going away anytime soon.
1-2k of ammo is child's playI hate to admit it, but there's some truth to this. Even with 1-2k rounds, people feel short-handed. There's a lot of comfort in "just having it".

Yep1-2k of ammo is child's play

Not for the new people just getting into AR's.
I mean I could sell my range 9mm if it's a buck a round... that's gunna be hard to pass up.As tempting as that is, I think it's a bad idea.
Don't do that let ammo incorporated earnings come out on Feb 19th first...If everyone would just stop buying it until the price drops everyone would be better off.
There were billion dollar backlogs months ago, Dem control of WH, Senate and House (whether they pass anything is irrelevant, all it takes is talk to keep the panic ball rolling), 5 million+ new gun owners, ammo plants along with their supply chain from one end to the other operating under covid restrictions in various forms so record demand combined with being short handed, Globalists back in the drivers seat so we can expect more over seas adventures which means Uncle Sam gets first dibs on all that 9mm/556/308. Probably even more issues that Ive missed but no friggen way does this get anywhere close to normal in 8 months, lmao.I expect that it will be late summer or early fall before supplies are back to pre panic levels. What prices will be like are anyone's guess.
That's the point I'm making, a little more here a little more there it's just a little flash no bangI was in Armour Sports today, they had more ammo than I was expecting, I managed to get 30-30, 35 Remington and 6.5 Grendel, 41 mag, 454 Casull and 460 S&W. I even scored some factory 44-40s. Granted there are limits but the fact they had all that shocked me.
Not sure if it's because it's Superbowl Sunday or it's just finally calming down but I was in three shops today and compared to the last few weekends it wasn't nuts like it has been.
Well either purchasing from panic buyers is slowing down or production is going well because I haven't seen ammo around for months and now some is appearing from somewhere, like CCI, American Eagle, Fiocchi, Winchester. Brand names.

Hows this. I heard there were 5 Mil new gun owners months ago. Theres almost assuredly more now, but lets say 5 mil. If each of them bought only 200 rounds and called it good, thats a BILLION additional rounds that manufacturers have to come up with just to satisfy the new demand. Forget about existing gun owners. Forget about panic buying, covid, Gulf War part whatever on the horizon, gov pretty much dropping money out of helicopters, cost of metals going straight up, increased fuel costs, increased regulation, new taxes...
60 cpr for 9mm will certainly slow purchasing down. Listen I want it to end tomorrow, but I dont think its going to any time soon.Well either purchasing from panic buyers is slowing down or production is going well because I haven't seen ammo around for months and now some is appearing from somewhere, like CCI, American Eagle, Fiocchi, Winchester.

I never thought that getting up to my elbows in Bambi sounded fun.I see local shops with a lot of hunting ammo but the prices are ridiculous, 30-06 20 rds $55-65.
H. is planning on making it up on volume.Never thought I'd read that sentenceIt's almost worth buying a 50 BMG rifle at this point just for the low low ammo prices.
Shush...you are making to much sense and will spoil it for the rest of us... seriously looked into it, lead time for a 50 BMG rifle puts me on the fence, but it never stopped me from buying the ammo.It's almost worth buying a 50 BMG rifle at this point just for the low low ammo prices.
$276 with free shipping with Prime from Target Sports USA. But that is still $2.75 per round, almost thirty bucks for a single 10 round mag for your M82A1. See my other thread:
Best calibers for new shooters based on ammo availability
Having spent way too much time on the TSUSA website and other ammo sites that ship to MA, I’ve determined that guns in the following two calibers would be the best ones for a new shooter if they wanted to be sure to have a ready supply of commercial ammo. For a handgun it would be 460 S&W...www.northeastshooters.com
If you follow wall street at all... or even if your just interested in ammo supply... ammo incorporated under symbol poww I believe is the only publicly traded ammo company.
