Ammunition.
The currency of a new generation.
You want your change in .22 LR or 9mm Para Bellum?

Re: The ammunition run is on............
Tell me about it. We can't keep hardly anything in stock, especially 9mm, 5.56, 45, and 5.7

Re: The ammunition run is on............
Can you break a .50 cal? No? Only other smallest I've got is some 338

I watched a guy buy nearly $3k in ammo (308, 5.56, 9mm, etc) from my LGS today while I was waiting to buy a stupid RRA scope mount.

Re: The ammunition run is on............
I do love when people stock pile. when the smoke clears you can get good deals from people who need money more than they need a closet full of 22lr and primers

Re: The ammunition run is on............
The majority of shooters go through relatively few rounds per year when compared to some of the shooters on the Hide. If my sons and I go for just a few hours, we can easily shoot 1k rounds of .223. Then you have to add the pistol ammo...
Last time my son did some training, 1k rounds .223, 800+ rounds 9mm. One day.
I've been buying a little more every time I've ordered, because I knew this shit would happen again. With out ammo, our rifles are expensive paperweights.
High end .45 acp ammo is close to $1.00 a round. Good .308 ammo is at least $1.00 a round.
This shit is getting expensive, and I don't think the prices will ever come down. I don't shoot any steel cased ammo, stay away from old surplus from who the fuck knows where/how old, etc.
My boys are getting a new pair of boots and a case of .223 for Christmas, and they better be happy. Shit, I would be happy. I'm thankful that both of them enjoy the shooting sports.

Keep telling yourself that.

Re: The ammunition run is on............
Prices have tempered my shooting a bit. I used to think nothing of going to the range and blowing through 100-200 or so each of 7.62x54r, 8mm mauser, 7.5 Swiss and 308.
Now I'll bring 40-50 rounds of the centerfire stuff and a 500 round box of .22 to last me through my time. Bring half the centerfire stuff back with me more often then not.
I swear I cringe with each $5 bill I shoot down the barrel of my .338 Lapua. The .22 doesn't hurt as bad.

I shoot a lot less too. Where I used to spray down the country side, I now go for slow and precise shooting going for empirical data vs. fun.

Re: The ammunition run is on............
It's practically an investment vehicle at this point. I order FGMM one day, pay <span style="font-style: italic">x</span> per box, and two days later it's <span style="font-style: italic">x</span> + $12.50. I've been told that this is typical back-and-forth in pricing in an attempt to deal with market glut. But, when I see a Beretta 86 in a LGS going for $700, and reticketed items everywhere up to 33 to 50% more than what was typical resale, a 57% jump in the price of match-grade .308 doesn't seem that surprising.
