The Ammo Manufacters Haven't Even Begun to Catch Up?

[ReloaderBen]

Do you see the ammo supply improving? I think I was being to optimistic in thinking that the initial run on ammo would be restocked quickly. Even online locations are either out of stock on not just 223/5.56 but 9mm, 40S&W and 45 ACP. If they aren't out of stock, by the time you get word there's some available it is out of stock before you can buy it. I'm ok on ammo, but the lack of it out there where I can easy buy it bothers me. I'd probably buy more if I could. (At reasonable prices that is.)

What do you guys think? How long will it be before ammo actually stays on the store shelf more than a few hours before being scarfed up?

I'm hearing 6 months or more.

WHY don't everyone stop buying all the ammo and let it stock back up !!!!!

 

[ratfinkron]

Let me rephrase it to I believe 6 months or longer just trying to catch up to demand.

"Manufactured Lack". You can't have capitalism without it. Look it up.

The media has everyone afraid of Obama and Uncle Joe. So it's over reaction time. They are doing the same thing with the flu.

When I read stories about ammo shortages and big box stores being sold out I gently caress my reloading press(es) and smile.

Haha, my press is lonely. I need to get back to rolling my own.

gotta remember all of these first time panic AR buyers got no ammo or paid a dollar a round. the first time they see it anywhere near a normal price they will buy it up. the only thing that sucks more than not having a nice rifle is not having anything to feed it. demand will be greater than supply for many months i bet.
