Ammo is still scarce; I've seen 9mm FMJ priced at $1/rd, usually around 0.20/rd.

Local gunshop said orders are 18 months out for all calibers, because many manufacturers are expecting a blue wave

I bought a useless .380 bodyguard last month. It’s useless as I haven’t been able to get ammo.

“Sales then were driven by fears of gun control fueled by mass shootings, but those fears evaporated with the election of President Trump, a Republican endorsed by the National Rifle Association. Gun sales plunged immediately after his election...”

Now, that’s ironic. But if gun control is voluntary, not mandatory, that spoils all the fun.

Sales then were driven by fears of gun control fueled by the prospect of Hillary and the Democrats enacting it if elected.

Yep, I’ve heard from several in the industry that they don’t want to over produce.

I hope CCI’s new .22 plant is doing well. It’s the only expansion of production capacity that I’ve heard of in some time.

"...arms makers aim not to get burned again..."


Were I the owner of an ammunition company, my factory would have an additional shift added and be running 24 x 7 x 365 to capitalize on immediate market demand.

I will bet that the CEOs of firms that manufacture toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes did not embrace such a plan during the height if the Wuhan Virus spread a few months ago.

I’m taking nothing for granted because I think this election outcome will be different even if Trump wins.

I think the left will pull out all the stops, figuring they have nothing left to lose.

And if Trump is cheated out of office, we are royally screwed. At that point, I hope they ramp up ammo production like never before because once Jan 21 rolls around all bets are off for sure..

“ Handguns are flying off the shelves and ammo is selling out and getting scarce.”<P

How do guns fly? Is ammo becoming invisible?

Ammo prices go up. Ammo prices go down.

When ammo prices are down, make sure you are stocked up. By “stocked up”, I mean have enough that you can go for at least 4 years without needing to buy more. Preferably 8.

I bought boxes of primers for $29.99 a few years ago at Cabelas.

I have seen these same primers go for as much as $275 a box on gunbroker.

Tempting.

I’ve been laying in ammo since 2004, in case Lurch won (lol).
Got what was sitting around cheap and built the arsenal around it.
16 gauge buckshot and slugs.. go find a Winchester M12 that’s been refinished for $300.
2000 rounds of .38 Super for $15 a box... wait for a SIG 220 in that caliber, not cheap but reliable.
.45 Schofield cheap from a retiring cowboy shooter... works in .45 Colt guns including Marlin 1894’s.
.300 Savage because Savage 99’s are easy to find in shooter condition.

A bit weird, but effective.

Went to Rural King in Central Indiana - they had .357. made in Hungary. Four box limit - I bought 4 boxes will be ok for the range.

Start looking for your ammo online.

I think the manufacturers are wrong on this. If Biden wins, everyone thinks the sh!t will hit the fan and the civil war will be on so, they will need guns and ammo. If Trump is re-elected, everyone thinks the libs will go nuts and the civil war will be on, and we will need our guns and ammo.

It’s a win-win if you ask me.

I was talking to a guy who says he can’t find any 38 Special rounds...I’ve been stocked up for a while so haven’t been shopping to find out what’s in supply and what isn’t.
