Americans are Hoarding Ammo

At least the smart ones are. 

[twyacht]

"I have long preached that one should never be caught short in his personal armament, either in regard to the weapons or the ammunition. Keep up your supply, and do not neglect the 22 rimfire, which may well turn into the "ballistic wampum" I have spoken of the past. If you have any loading equipment, stock primers, which may constitute the weakest link in the chain."
Jeff Cooper

Wise words,......from a wise man.......

I'm actually glad people are hoarding... I know just like after y2k, ammo will be for sell very cheap in the next few years from people that bought into panic buying.  in 03 I bough a 10 sealed cases of 00 buck for $100  at a gun show.( he was a guy walking around with a sign on his back)  I worked in a high volume  FFL during the Y2k thing, we were going thru pallets of buck shot on a week end.  it was selling for ~ $4 for 5 shots.  Still have a case of it, the rest was shot up in a SD shot gun class in 05.

TAB,
First of all get a better avatar, like the last one......Or maybe you can get a picture of Jesse Abbate and that would do too..... 

Isn't free market economics great? I agree with you there will be some great ammo deals in the next few years and great deals on firearms too. The thing about a free market is we have to accept it on its terms and that is what most get upset about when things like this happen.

That's no help to those of us who can't see it full size!

Primers?  What are those?  Do they even make large or small pistol primers anymore?     I sure as hell can't find any!

I envy you guys who can hoard. The only range in town here is range ammo only, ostensibly (and probably for insurance reasons). This means though, that with the exception of shotgun shells, that all the stock pile is just wasted money for me me unless I'm willing to drive an hour to shoot (i'm not), or the world ends, in which case it will suck to be me. I can justify a couple of hundred rounds of  9mm defense loads, that I'll hopefully never shoot,and a couple bricks of .22, but beyond that the 500rd bulk packs that tempt me, I have to pass by. Sigh!.

Its atleat an hour to my closes range( 28 miles actually, on a street with traffic that would make most people shoot your selfs, I kid you not, to go 7 miles at rush hour takes 2 hours if your lucky.)

Some might look in my room and say I'm hoarding, however, when I shot up 20% of each my 9mm and .40 S&W last night at bullseye.  I also went and cleaned out all of Mankato of their American Eagle 308 (a whole 140 rounds). 

Hoarding ... BS ... I'm just trying to feed my habit and can't keep up with minimum daily requirements as published by the USDA
