So a friend and I went on an ammunition hunt today. We went to Running’s in Glendive first. No 9mm but they had some Hornandy 223 v-max. The only thing we bought was a box of 357 magnum. 1 box of ammunition per costumer.
Miles City had no 9s. Sidney had 3 boxes of 9s, I got 1. I also found 2 boxes of 38s.
40, 10 and 357 can be had here and there. Oh and 45’s are impossible to find too.

All the ammo you want at the gun shows, just have to pay to play. Something like 14k thousand people attended the West Palm Beach gun show today. 223 was starting at $0.61 and 9mm was starting a $0.49 a round. Last ammo I bought was $0.24 and $0.17 per round, talk about price gouging. I you don't have what you need by now shame on you.
Life is good live it while you can.

Haven’t purchased any ammo in several years and likely won’t for the rest of my life. Feel free to grab my share.
I am..........disturbed.

For the first time in my life, I loaded 9mm this spring. I am sitting on about 4000 rounds. It will last a while because due to some personal circumstances, we cant shoot much at all for a few more months

If I saw $1100 per case, that'd be a door I'd never darken again.

I went into my man cave today (aka... the gun room), and turned a bunch of components into 500 rds of .223 rem (55gr Nosler Ballistic tips), and 200 rds or 45ACP (230gr fmj) and it didn’t make a dent in my supplies. Pays to be prepared.

I was looking online to see if any of my "favorites" were even available. Not a one. Aguila 22lr is eighteen cents a round, or more. Same with other 22lr. Even Thunderbolts were going for eighteen cents a round. I actually have more 22 than I'll ever shoot. Going to sort it and keep the stuff my guns like. The rest I'll put on Armslist at reasonable prices. I've also started shooting PCP airguns and will increase my efforts their.

This time is different, every other time it was just us gun loonies buying stuff, for the most part. Now first time gun buyers first time ammo buyers Manufactures just cannot keep up. $1100 for a case of 62 gr 5.56, that completely blows my mind. For us that have,we can sit back have a cup of coffee and not worry.

$1100/case? Makes me wish I'd laid in several extra @ $250 last time I bought.
Hindsight.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

With no ammunition available, the defense of freedom won’t last long. Anyone think this across the board shortage is serendipitous? When things heat up, there will be no resupply.

Shotgun ammo does not seem to have had a price increase, at least not target loads. Same for components--shot, wads, primers, powder.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

If I saw $1100 per case, that'd be a door I'd never darken again. Genuine honest question... do you still feel that me selling new primed 300 Blackout brass last month at $0.06 a brass was still extremely rude of me? Please do not redirect the question, I offered 30,000 pieces of this brass and sold them all and you had a conniption fit over it for some reason. Can you please help me understand why. Thank you most kindly. I also sold 30,000 .224 and .308 bullets as low as $0.03 each... that also evoked vile profanity from you. I remain incredibly confused as to why you thought these prices were so exceptionally high when others did not. This is not a call out. You called me out and I remain incredibly confused as to why. Thank you kindly for your response.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Yeah, anyway I got hooked on a movie last night....
Murdoch’s over in miles city had 10’s, some 40’s and 357 sig. A couple of stores are even stocking 22tcm.
If anyone is looking for a Vr80, they had one.
Oh, I wasn’t buying for myself, my kids are having trouble finding ammunition.

You may need to donate some to patriots for coming events. It could allow you to survive past burning a couple hundred rounds. Hate to see the enemy get a few thousand rounds.
