Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah. SG Ammo has 12,000 orders to fill and their sites says they’re 4-5 days deep in processing. Ammo is getting like oil. As soon as a fistfight breaks out in the Middle East, up goes the barrel - justified or not. Yeah, my buddy sent me a screenshot of SGAmmo's site. He's freaking the fuck out right now, thinks WW3 is gonna kick off any hour now. I'm like "dude, relax." He's sitting a fuckload of ammo too (and he doesn't even actually shoot barely any), so I'm not sure what he's freaking out for. |

Probably just a blip. Unfortunately, ammo panics always seem to be a self-fulfilling event. People freak out and buy everything making others buy whatever they can find.
At some point, all those neck beards are gonna start dying off and I can only imagine the deals one will be able to find… In the meantime, buy what you want/feel the need to buy. |

Honestly I have maybe 100 rounds of 9mm and 200 rounds of 556 and it’s because 1) I turned of age late and 2) I’ve never been in a financial situation to buy in bulk. I sort of am now but I can’t afford a case at $500. I did get on the PMC XTac deal yesterday for $415 of 55 grain.

I have enough ammo but with Dickbrained Biden 'in charge' and the world situation we may be in for a few years of high priced ammo. Did the same thing at the start of Covid. A few who mocked me stopped shooting a year into it and I asked them why. "Ammo is too expensive now..." Welp, not a problem for me because I bought a bunch when I saw what was happening. On the other hand, if the prices don't go up I doubt they will go much lower anytime soon so no harm done.

I shoot every week, twice some weeks and have never slowed down. Well, back when I was working at a range I was shooting 4-5x a week and I've certainly slowed since then. I've never paid the crazy prices either. |

The panic prices haven't really hit yet. Give it about a week or two and if the ME situation expands, THEN you will see significant prices hikes as supply dwindles. I've sat out the last 10-12 years of ammo rushes so I couldn't care less what happens. Bought when there was great sales, sure, [$400 shipped for HST 9mm got me off the chair] when something happened that created a rush, nope. |
