So 60 boxes a year of 9mm, 40 or 45? That is 120 years worth for me.

GFY

OUCH That surely is going to leave a mark. Thanks for voting for Hobo Joe Gahuntertom.

Where did the problem of no ammo occur? Not under President Trump, that is for sure.

that is simply insane

Ammo subscription or voting for Biden?

Saw that on their website last week. No mention about price. Not impressed. Just built in demand. Good for them. Not good for the consumer. NO.INT.

I hadn't seen GA HUNTER TOM's post before, thanks for reposting/quoting...now i have another person to wish they would f-off and die...while I fill my gas tank !!!! Good on you ght

I wouldn't be able to afford the gas to use that much ammo!

If you go to the subscriptions page, you'll see the prices.

For 9mm, you commit to buy 3000 rounds (250 rounds per month for 12 months) at $0.58 per round, delivered (you pay $140/mo during the 12 months). I'm not sure why anyone would lock himself into that "deal," unless there's handwriting on the wall of which I am unaware.

Shrug, i dunno, interesting idea. Yes, it’s a built-in demand for Federal, sure; more power to ‘em.

For a guy or his kid shooting in friendly amateur/club meets 1-2x/mo, it would be a nice safety net. No stressing out, running all over hell shopping, skipping matches, etc. Paying essentially 100% markup over good old days retail, yes, but it’s (presumably) guaranteed available and shipped for the price. So in this day and age….

Wouldn’t be surprised to see ammo companies start cutting out the middle man and prioritizing direct to consumer sales. Federal’s website is good.

POW!!! Right in his mouth. Hey, gahuntertom, did you hire someone who is working out when you voted for PedoBiden??? You sonofabitch.

You don't practice much it appears.

Take this for what it's worth. My son in law lives close to the federal plant and one of his friends works there. He told me the other day his buddy says they have machines sitting idle. I've smelled a ever since this shortage started.

Direct to consumer sales might help get the ammo supply into the right hands rather than being snapped up by GB resalers.

Sleazy scalpers who wait in line every morning at brick-and-mortar gun stores shake their fists at you!

The plan is to limit production to artificially hold prices higher. They're doing it with trucks and many luxuries, too. I see the advantage for the producer, but it won't hold without socialist government protection, which they won't get from gun hating American liberals.

This attitude simply creates a niche for new ammo companies. So who's gonna start making primers? Did the current Whitehouse ban Russian primers too?
