Gunbroker has more ammo for sale than most people would want or could afford. I just now made a bid on 200 rounds of .30-06 that will be a decent price even if it goes to my max bid.
Ammo's been real hard to find here in Minnesota. I'm glad I had enough to get me through. Any time I'm in a store I check and see if I hit the lottery and they just put some out. That's about the only way you luck into it up here. I haven't resorted to ordering it in from the net. Prices are up and shipping adds to the bill. I'll be good for the forseeable future, and I hope it loosens up a bit in the meantime.
Add in online sales tax in states that are gleeful that untapped source of revenue happened for em. Under the pretext of we did it for mom and pop shops....
You can thank Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi for the internet sales tax. He spearheaded that invasion of American citizen's wallets. "It's to level the playing field" for the "Brick & Mortar" stores vs. the internet sellers.
Panic buying is contagious. When Joe Bob goes to his favorite store to buy his yearly box of deer ammo and can't find it, he then goes all over town looking. If he finds something in his preferred cartridge, he buys 4 boxes instead of his usual 1 box. Then he tells everyone he knows that ammo is hard to find, so they run all over town and buy 3 or 4 boxes that they usually would not have. And so demand grows exponentially and pretty soon the shelves are bare. Then you have the hoarders (who think the 10,000 rounds in their closet isn't enough) and re-sellers that line up outside of the box stores at 6 am on shipment day and buy anything they can get their hands on.
Whole package baffles me a bit. There’s a wanker over at RFC who has set a goal of possessing 52k of .22 LR. Have to wonder why. Fella doesn’t need more than one round to settle neighborhood disputes or control mobs. Only takes one round to put a week or so worth of meat on the table. Folks need to get over the fantasy and get serious.
I am..........disturbed.
