what is everyone observing? last night on Tucker, he made mention in his overall statement about the sudden run on ammunition... I had to wait about 5 days for Target Sports to fulfill on bulk 6.5 CR due to mass ordering.... what are you all seeing? how about primers and powder, anything going on there?
Corona and ammo run and shortages
- Thread starter hunter1959

Which is going to lead to me buying panic bought guns around Krimuss time.
hahaha.... good one.... though I was hoping for serious responses...
Just tryna help.
I have enough ammo.
But...
Chump dun wownno hep, chump dun genno hep.
TP is what I need!
How am I supposed to wipe my ass!?
This is serious!
??
Why wouldnt order fullfilment take longer than normal if the demand is much much higher?
Companies size to meet average demand, generally speaking. Someone has to go pull the shit off a shelf and box it.
Orders will take longer for sure.
As for shortages. It does seem like stock has decreased overall but thats just a general observation. Panic buying will do this....will see how inventories hold over the next six months.

What doesn't cause panic buying on guns and ammo these days? Never thought I'd see a run on ass wipe, I thought it was corona virus, not noro virus, sheesh.
I'll be going to the local store and buy shit tons of corona beer. If you're drinking Corona beer, the coronavirus can't get to you because it'll think it's already in you. Sucker doesn't know it's corona beer actually and not coronavirus...

lol like the thought in world war z infect yourself with something else so the virus leaves you alone lol eat taco bell if that was the case that stuff should kill almost anything especially when the cure for 90% of the world diseases is already in Keith Richards blood . lol
Stocked up on Liquor... kids are off school for 4 weeks. Need to keep a happy house with the wife.
Stopped in at Fin Feather and Fur today to pick up some bullets and there was an abnormal amount of people buying guns. Gonna guess around 10 guys. But damm, it was 11am on a weekday. Plenty of ammo on the shelf though

No.
Even if I did. A pretty good sub can be made with potassium chloride and koolaid packets with choice of sweetener.
I was just making observations of curiosity.
Couldn't that also be from tax return money arriving. I know a lot of guys that buy their yearly allotment of firearms with their tax return money.
Definitely. It sounded like much more than normal for this time of year.
I stopped by my local Sportsman’s Warehouse today for some small pistol primers....completely wiped out. Lowest stock I’ve seen there in general. They had limits on all shooting stuff. Surprised the hell out of me!
Glad that Powder Valley has what I needed in stock, so ordered online.

Our store sold out of 5.56 and 9mm today. Firearm purchases were unusually strong. Today’s sales numbers looked like the height of the Christmas buying.
Where are you that you can find Varget? Haven't been able to find that around here (Boise) for a few months.
There is a short supply making its way around. I’m in SoCal and have found 2 local sources.

I've definitely been drumming up sales. Something about our neighbors getting robbed in broad daylight at the grocery stores gets that survival instinct raging in otherwise docile and inattentive people.
Weird how even though I keep pushing City Hall to publish information about self defense laws they refuse to do so.
It's a damn shame we don't see more stories about folks getting shot for that shit. The winds of change are a blowin' in SE Texas.
Socal, plenty of ammo, already stock piled, but I can’t find that golden toilet paper anywhere! I know, I know, I can already hear it! “why is there a toilet paper shortage when everyone just shits on the sidewalk?” Will trade ammo for TP! Please help!
My nephew just bought a pistol . Says "I got 50 rounds of ammo , I'm good . "
If you wait for shit to get real before you go out an buy/stock up on XXX,....here's your sign.
I ordered a case of 44 mag from target sports USA, and it actually took a week for them to ship it.
normally it’s here like two days later…
didn’t think of it being a run on ammunition!
Of course, I’ve got so much ammo is not even funny… I am for sure on a list somewhere…

Seems like Palmetto State Armory bumped up their prices for 5.56. Several other places I looked had as well...
Yep... thats why I‘ve spent the last 8mos buying lots of different ammo.
It was always matter time… I just thought it would be more related to the election cycle

I’ve been sitting on enough ammo to last me a year in direct combat roles. Stockpiled the Friday after Trump won, Sportsman’s Guide had pallets of overstocked ammo they couldn’t give away. Guess they prepped for a different outcome. 50% off after double coupons, I lol’d.
This a riot to look at and read.... I have 2000 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor, 4000 rounds of .223, 800 rounds of 12 ga 00, 600 rounds of 44 mag, 1200 rounds of 9mm.... and I feel woefully under stocked for what I fear is coming.... and I reload on top of that.... this would be a riot of laughter if it wasn't so shocking
Never underestimate the ability of trading up. I have kin folk who started with a single round an days later they had truck loads of ammo for all the weapons they took starting with that single rd. In this country today, someone with half a brain could do that by pretending to be XXX an having only a knife, wire, or less, do to the amount of stupid that abounds here. Trading up is very easy, it's been done with just a set of tit's, deception, an tire tool. Resupply comes from many places.
I have powder and primers for about 80K rounds in various calibers. I'm probably good but I always keep an eye open for sales.
A handgun and 50 rounds? Are you kidding me?

Hunter gatherers of men ain’t immune from earning a love tap. If’n they need some love.
All I know is that if I have to sit around for 2 weeks in quarantine..... my Dillon press will be busy!
Just came from WallyZoo. They have TP but as soon as a roll hits the shelf a hand picks it up. Glad I stocked up last week.
Interesting to see what is missing. Not a black or pinto bean to be seen, and all the good tortillas made by Guerrero are gone. Se habla Espanol? No chicken drumsticks...what up bro? Very few potatoes.
Concerning the OP, Im heavy in al the calibers I use.

Seriously: Why the run on TP? This is not a diarrhea outbreak...I don't get it.
