Some years back I always thought that if something bad happened and we were put in a S.H.T.F. way of life we would be able to get military rounds. As of this last emergency or what ever you want to call it, I question my past decision. As of today you can't buy 5.56 ammo of any kind in less you are willing to pay a buck a round and that is hard to come by. 9mm is getting just as bad if you can find any to buy, even in bulk it is going to cost you. 308 is no better. Now you can still buy the high cost stuff in 243 for like $34 a box.
Now you can still get 222 at the normal price and 22-250 is a little harder to come by but it is still at good prices. 38 special the cheap stuff is gone but you can still get the good stuff at some good prices. 257 Roberts is good to go as well, no problem getting rounds for it. 7mm 08 is still good to go in all price ranges.
So will this be any different if S.H.T.F.? Will we all be looking for the same rounds just to find out that no one has any for sale.
Yes I know we all need to stock up on rounds and loading stuff and I have long before this stuff came down and I have a good supply. Though when I shoot some I want to replace it and at this point I can't. I even have molds to make bullets if things get really bad for every thing I shoot except for the 22 center fire.
I am thinking of selling some of my guns to replace them with other calibers that aren't so common or used by the military. I don't know. I just don't like not being able to replace what I have used. If this is a look into the future I think we could all due with some of the other calibers.
What are your thoughts?
