Stop the damn panic ammo buying people!

[pietro beretta]

I think the people who have them probably don't fear shooting off a few boxes of rounds even when the panic buying starts.

You haven't been through a panic have you? I'm actually surprised there is still .22 left at all at this point! There was a time you couldn't find ANY for months, people buying bricks of subsonic for $100+, it was stupid. I don't know about everyone else but I easily use a couple of those 333 packs or a brick every time I bring out the .22 .

Mix in some of these and work on clearance drills.

Have someone else load the magazine with a couple, it really throws you off when someone else loaded the magazine

I was referring more to people who had loaded up on it before the panic due to it being so cheap but yeah you're right I actually haven't been through a panic when it comes to buying ammo. Frankly, I'm still not sure I understand it as it relates to this virus. The panic is that the ammo will all be gone....and yet the panic is what CAUSES the ammo to be all gone. I guess if the Federal government followed the lead of Italy I might understand but there will still be more critical factors than just ammo.

I see what your saying, I didn't stock up all that much on .22, maybe 3k rounds, meh.

You hit the nail right on the head, its self perpetuating panic. I understand ammo more than the TP.

I just really don't get the need for toilet paper hoarding. I'll admit ive been saying for years; how can a piece of soft paper clean your bubblegum. I can't clean the bubblegum off my shoe with a paper towel - I take a hose to them, just like I squirt my bubblegum with my bidet.

I'd be more fascinated to know who those thousand people are. New gun owners? I can't imagine someone wanting a gun that badly that they would subject themselves to the frenzy...unless they didn't have one. I'm not much for waiting in long lines unless I absolutely need it.

Now if it were a thousand new gun owners, I'd actually be happy because you would THINK that's more people who will have a vested interest in gun rights in the state. You would think but who really knows?...

I just had a buddy call to thank me for talking him into buying 3000 rounds a couple weeks ago, he said he was thinking of getting more until he saw the current madness prices.

I use ammoseek exclusively yes it is way overpriced right now, Geco ammo is 234.99 for 1000, before this panic it was about $100 cheaper, if 9mm is going up that much and is this hard to find on the shelf, I'll put my favorite 9mm in storage for a while and shoot the pistol calibers that are easier to get off the shelf.

Here's a current link. 9mm Luger Ammo Am I missing something? Herters is $84.00 for 500 rounds, with low shipping. And if I read it right you get FREE shipping on 1000 ROUNDS! Where do yo get $234.00 for a 1000??

None for months, and It was 3 years of severe shortages.

Sportsman's on 185th isn't any better. All 9/45/556 is gone. Only 40sw and 308 along with other hunting odd calibers remains. There's also a sign for a line to be formed/followed

I just made a buy back in January but then I buy every few months or so. I would have shot through a good part of it by now had I not been hospitalized with pancreatitis and pneumonia so I never got the opportunity.

You have about a 3 month back order on that ammo right there, other than the wait - not missing anything.

 

[E4mafia]

Bi-mart in Hillsboro is only good if you want 38/12g and 22lr.

 

[1371JarHead]

Toilet paper and other staples are getting ridiculous as well. I noticed small pistol primers have been extremely sparse lately as well.

Yeah, i have ordered 2 times both times i was shorted.

Dude , take a look it wont ship until the end of May.....

 

[E4mafia]

PSA now says to be delayed 14-21 business days and to wait longer times for FFL req items.

Dude! Then start loading your own.

Do you think it might have changed since I put it up there? At 8:00 am.

Lets see.... if 6 people come through the front door with knives, and I put 3 bullets in each one, how long will a couple thousand rounds last?
