Got a message that this ammo was in stock.I went to the site and there were 30 boxes in stock.I watched and in 24 minutes it was sold out. And everybody thinks that the ammo shortage is going to go away. Wake up. It is here to stay. If you find it you better get it if you want it. Now I understand that Underwood is the best ammo for the price period but there are no Federal,Remington, Priv none of the lower power cheaper target ammo available.Now there are some Buffalo Bore for 1.50 per round but not even much of that.If I had any sense today when I saw the 30 boxes of Underwood I should have just bought them all.I think I am going to become an ammo finder. You want it you ask me, I will find it and tell you how much and where for a small donation.Mans got to make his ammo budget someway. LOL  :o 8)

Just watch underwoods facebook page when he makes his announcement every evening about whats new on the shelves and its gone gone gone. Its only gonna get worse and the anti's love the fear they have drummed up in the shooters.

BillC: I agree with you 100%. Not to mention the fact that some states want to put 1000% tax on ammo,make you get a license to buy it, or just let the demand drive up the prices due to the supply factor. Any way I look at it if you find what you want a a decent price not a rip off price I recommend you get it if you need it. I do not think it is going to come back to what we were used to anytime soon cause Hillary is waiting in the wings to try again to take over after Obama's term expires. And if you think she will make it better you must remember IT TAKES A VILLAGE and in that village there are idiots. I think they call us village idiots. Yes I said us as we cannot come up with anyone that can win. And now white males are being blamed for all the problems. If they keep saying it I may end up believing it myself. :o :o :o :o :o

Yes, it will die down. Eventually. It may take longer than the last panic because there is actually a small bit of substance to the fear. The last time it was just unsubstantiated fear of a leftist.

Demand is slowly falling away while production is increasing. Eventually, guys will get tired of hearing their wives complain about the credit card bills. Soon, many of these folks will lose interest in guns and go back to America's Fattest Dancing Cook. The world didn't end in December so we're probably going to see a lot of MREs and promasks on Ebay soon, too. Public support for gun control is nearly non-existent. Some people support gun control when asked but don't really care. Gun control bills have and will pass at the local level but they are losing steam, too. Many will be overturned shortly after passing. Here in AZ, we are still taking ground.

I'm sorry if you thought that people meant the panic would be over in a week. Nobody said that. It will subside but it will take time. The best thing you can do in the mean time is to avoid panic buying yourself. You're just wasting money. If you see something you want or need at a reasonable price, buy a reasonable amount of it. If it's panic priced, skip it. The only thing that will bring pricing and availability back to normal is for people to stop acting full retard.


Oh, and 155 gr XTP didn't penetrate all that well in my test, anyway. Get 165 gr Gold Dot, or 180 or 200 gr XTP.

Today's stash was posted. I grabbed 6 180's quick! About 150 left right now.

Yes I missed them by a few minutes. And as for the ammo rush getting over with anytime soon. Yeah I see that happening. I have been buying ammo since I was 6 and I am 60 and this is not like anything i have ever seen for you youngsters who still believe in the tooth fairy. This crap is serious and just like gas they may come down some but then they will spike right back up. And if and when any real gun laws do get passed you will all remember 40.00 per box and say man I wish i could get some of that 40.00 per box ammo to go with my 3.00 per gallon gas. And I sure wish I had that hi cap mag I sold for 60.00. Glad I bought those 10 rounders. LMAO !!!! The Good Ole Days. Anybody here beside me old enought to remember 25 cent gas and 5 cent candy bars with your 10 cent coke. The Good Ole Days are gone just like my last 100.00 on that tank of gas and a 6 pac of cokes I just bought.

This isn't 2008, and this isn't gonna just blow over in a couple months, I managed to order a few boxes of the 180 @ $27 it was sold out pretty quickly though.  I wonder how much the 11 million illegals will care about our 2nd amendment once they get their amnesty, my guess is very little I hope im wrong.

BillC, it took over a year for things to return to normal with the '08 panic. This panic is actually at least two separate ones, minimum. First people freaked in November when Zero got re-elected. Then they freaked after Sandy Hook and rumblings about gun control. In the mean time, there were crazy people who thought the world would end in December and there are troubles with the economy. On top of that, the GWOT has been a significant effect on small arms prices since about '05 and then DHS bought a bunch of boolits. Don't get me wrong, there are lot of factors keeping this one going but it's not magical pixie dust. It will eventually come to an end. In the mean time, try not to exacerbate the problem if you can.


What in blue 4vck do illegals have to do with anything?

pacapcop

RRMan03.Im 47 and recall everything cheaper.Today we have a Fed Reserve producing evermore funny money as well as central banks throughout Europe and Japan attempting to stimulate a economy.These are futile attempts that will have a severe backdraft called "Inflation and into Hyper eventually".The dollar is dilluted.I see ammo prices not going back.We are in deep doo doo and ObamaCare is starting to rear it's ugly head as we speek.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, it has no affect on your 2nd amendment rights or mine, its all good, it will all be better tommorow because after all its just like 08' and because I dont want to "exacerbate the problem" I will keep telling myself that.  ;)

RRMan03

Papacop: Correct and I am 59 and as for the illegials I will tell you what they haveto do with it. They will also get to vote when the become legal and as Bill said will they care about the 2nd. Maybe maybe not but they will vote and guess which way. Why in the heck do you think it is being pushed. I very seldom get into opinion discussions as we all are entitled to our own but I think listening to everyones oponion might educated me on something that I had not thought about so every now and then I will get involved but guys we are all on the ssme side I hope anyway. Thanks for the good info.

I agree on the illegals issue,no doubt.On the monetary side,worldwide Weimar full retard printing.It kills all of us and spares the banks and the few.

RRMan03

The more printed in every currency the less what you have in you pocket is worth. Only good thing is your guns go up in price as your money goes down. We are in what I call the circle economy. As money goes down assets go up if you can sell them. As money comes back down which in my life it will not the assets come down. And that is the circle. I have seen the circle 3 or 4 times in my life but I do not think I will make it to the full circle this one last time. To old to complete it.Sad that we have come to this point.

Nah, it settled out after about 2 1/2 years of Obama scare I. I expect about the same for Obama scare II.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?
