when will the ammo shortage end??

[LANShark42]

Homeland Security has purchased most of the 9mm ammo. I have heard up to 1.6 billion rounds of 9mm alone. So it will be a while.........

I heard the lifetime LTCH is going away. And Walmart isn't going to sell ammo any longer. And Illinois is going to constitutional carry with unlimited reciprocity. Should I go on?

(Oh, I forgot - I'm also a french model!)

So glad I'm not running all over the place looking for 9mm. Wish i had a little more .22lr but not out.

I was guessing by this summer. With the bombing in Boston, and talks of gun legislation being brought back to the Senate floor. People are still in panic mode. If they would just untwist their panties and take a deep breath. Well, things would start calming down.

That pretty much sums it up IMO

It seems to me that now the ammo is out there, you just have to look (still overpriced), whereas before you couldn't even FIND any.
I got some 180 fmj and xtp 10 mm from Underwood last week at near normal prices. Found 9mm 124 gr Gold Dots (2 50 round boxes) at near normal prices.

There is always the threat of some liberal introducing a bill that has something to do with gun control. If people would just ease up for a couple of weeks I bet you would see things improve dramatically. People act like they are trying to ban ammo or something.

I HERD THAT THE GOVERMENT IS BULLING UP MOST OF THE AMMO SO WE CANT BUY AMMO FOR OUR GUNS. ONLY AMMO I SEE IN WALMART IS SHOTGUN AMMO FOR TURKEY SEAION. I DID SEE SOME 270 WIN JUST 3 BOXES. ANE IF AMMO MAKES ON THE IN THE STORE IT IS GONE IN THE MATTER OF MININTES.

I am curious as to what peoples purchases of ammo are for, is it panic hoarding or are you really out.

Me? So I can sit here and laugh at all those panicking and spending big dollars on gas driving to every walmart in a 3 state area looking for ammo because they refuse to pay $50 for a brick of 22. And if that doesn't work, they come here to complain about the gougers and the hoarders and how they're destroying the sport.

Me? I have plenty. I'm just here for the entertainment value.

....All I need is my trusty little .380 and the 200 rounds I still have for it.

I have enough to get me by for a while. I'm thinking of doing some competition this summer, so that'll eat up most of what I have. If I stroll thru a store and they have some ammo at a decent price, I'll pick up a box or two. I don't go crazy, and my panties are not in a twist.
I remember when I could run thru 300 rounds in a weekend. What a blast!!

 

[mdm2272]

I ended up buying 900rds of 9mm off a guy that needed the money and add that to what i already had and I'm in good shape.

 

[10-32]

If I walk into WalMart or check one as I'm driving by and the have 22, 9, 380, 223 or 556, I buy it. If the wife is with me, she gets her limit also. Then we turn around and sell it at cost to people we know (family, friends, co-workers) who want/need it and aren't flipping it for a profit. Kind of our little way to slow down the gougers out there.

Mess with enough of the gougers out there and you'll start seeing it on the shelfs again.

Now that's a real friend!!

I went to the local gun show in South Bend this weekend and found little ammo and most was expensive

 

[STEEL CORE]

For me it was yesterday, got a tip that the Fishers Meijer had 100 ct boxes of 9&40 WWB in, since the wife works there take an additional 10% off, then since she was given a 20% off card for employee appreciation day, I got five boxes (500 rds) of the 9mm for $95 incl tax. I left the rest of the 9&40 and when I got home, the wife said "Dummy at 30% off you should have bought it all", nah said I, you got what you need to shoot the rest of the year, I left the rest for others. So dry no more at my house.
