We may be in for another small arm ammo shortage

[urbanrifleman]

Oh, give me a break. I mean seriously. How many times can the media go to this same well and people buy it? Goodness gracious.

Like when Biden told everyone inflation and gas prices were caused by Putin. I mean seriously, how dumb can people get?

The Israelis are hammering the crap out of Syria as we speak using munitions they bought from us (or we gave them) and the politicians are like great!! We need the jobs!! Drop all the bombs you want it's good for business.

That figure doesn’t include tax, and shipping if so needed. That changes those figures by a fair bit. I shoot or own zero 9mm. I run 45ACP and have plenty of components to load them. However at today’s “replacement” cost of all components I can buy new bulk ammo when I shop hard and buy in quantity, that it is not worth my time to build ammo. I mean the difference is .02-.03 per round difference.
If I shot into the five digit a year area I would see some slight savings.

Tax is the same for component loading or bulk ammo = wash

Shipping - if you shop around enough, free shipping can be enjoyed on component loading or bulk ammo = wash


In a previous thread about reloading, there are multiple +++ of having the ability to roll your own fodder. At this point in your life, "always in stock" is the number 1.

Ages ago I got several boxes of 1200 rounds of M855. 1200 fits perfectly in an ammo can. Not going to win any matches with it but... I'm glad I have it.

I've got multiple brands of M855 ON SALE and no one is buying. My distributor literally has 100000000 rounds of the stuff.

Some shortage!!

Andy, it started long before Biden...Think Clinton, Bushes x 2, Obummer. They were filling their pockets and we were sleeping. 98 percent are still sleeping, and like it.

I know. This has been planned for decades.

I shoot patterns, not groups, with my M855 ammo.

It is all part of the new world order BS!

Truth....

And the government is filling the market with "surplus" ammo, for the pull down market. Plus another 40 Billion in "aid" to Ukraine. Almost like the plan is to spend us into defaulting. Welcoming in ESG and the WEF.
Self edit million to Billion, as we pay employees(Ukraine) salaries and benefits/pensions. Why.

I bought 1K 855 green tip pull downs to load my own one time... Jesus those things were horrible. Sold 900 of them once I realized the same thing...

No need for me to speak to this....................Oh well, can't resist!

101% on the button. They started selling out the honest US citizen, began supporting illegals and criminals.
Not enforcing the laws of the land, politicalized the FBI and many other federal groups, which in turn began also going after lawful citizens, rather than criminals.
Look at the border and all the criminals breaking out laws, and look at how none are arrested and charged and deported. Crime is at an all time high, will go higher, drugs are freely flowing into the US and no one in Wash DC could care, nor take steps to stop all of this.
All they worry about is the black rifle and lawful citizens owning them.
Wake up folks, but at the same time plan ahead and buy and store what you can. Some call it hoarding, I call it survival.

All the lots of PMC, Winchester, and ADI M855 we have shot so far at Anderson County S.C. Have been reliably accurate out to 400 yds on reduced IPSC silhouettes for us. Certainly better than Minute of Man; the rifles are both ARs, one is an 18” Gunner and the second is a 20” Wylde heavy fluted by Faxon with 1-8” twist.
Good enough for fun days at the range, and surely accurate enough to the end of my driveway.

One of the worst in my RRA 20" varmint. Been years since I shot any but the last time it was 2.5 @100. I couldn't believe that was the ammo our troops were using. Best I ever tested is PMC Bronze. $11 box around here.

This is just another thread to incite panic buying and drive the cost of goods up. The OP drops this in our laps then doesn’t say another word. Just sits back and watches everyone get worked up like little sheep with wolves circling. Wake the heck up people. This crap needs to stop. I reported this thread to the Forum Boss

I disagree. People need to wake up & realize what our crooked leaders are doing to us. The "Land of the Free" is falling apart right in front of our eyes. We are being set up to fail.
