Bought some 9mm plinking ammo from Palmetto State a couple weeks ago.

When big sis left, ammo became available. Odd, huh?

No, I actually think the manufacturers have been going all out for the past 8 months and warehousing most of it until they could get good quantities on the shelves. Sure, they’ve put some out along the way, but now they’re really dumping it (in a good way) into the market. I think doing it this way they avoid the guys buying the limited quantities and then re-selling (scalping) it on Gunbroker.

For the first time in a looong time I have seen ads for 10,000 rds of 5.56 for something just under $9k.

Wife called me on her way home from the U.P. two weeks ago. Said Cabela's outside Green Bay had .223 and 9mm ammo, which I've been looking hard for here in the People's Socialist RepuliK of Illinois.

She called me when she was there and asked "how much should I buy?"

I said ALL OF IT.

Here in IL where I live, we haven't been able to FIND .223 or 9mm, and when you did, it was maybe a few boxes here or there. So when I said "all of it" I figured Cabela's had a few boxes.

Her response: "there's over 100 boxes of .223 with 500 rds in them, and I can't count all the 9mm. Sure you want me to buy it all?" (she said rather sarcastically...)

Suffice it to say, I'm rather well re-supplied and I was amazed when she showed me the receipt. .223 was less than 30 cents a round, 9mm was about 37 cents a round buying in bulk.

Not bad as best I could tell.
