Why are you paying $1 per round for ammo?

[StuP]

I think his assessment has some truth. There are people buying a lot of ammo, but not a lot of people shooting a lot of ammo.

Fact: Factories are pumping our record amounts of ammo.
Fact: People are hoarding ammo, not blowing it at the range like before.

What exactly is going to happen to all of that ammo? Is it gonna get shot? Or will it eventually be sold? If sold, at what price?

It'll be stockpiled, like so many people here advise.

went to an Eastman gun show a week ago and I've been looking for 30-06 ammo and I saw maybe 40 rds in the entire show. the guy was selling them for $2.00 a round. Funny thing is he had probably opened a box and put it in 5 round baggies like a drug dealer to sell for $10 a bag.

That's because almost every broke dick can pop a tenner for a few rounds.

I dunno, but the guy down the road with the full auto either hasn't priced ammo or doesn't care.

For those of you who aren’t long time hoarders, you probably missed out on this.

Think I’m caught up, all I lack is some Aquila buckshot mini-shells.

I literally saw guys breaking up bulk boxes of lead nose 22lr into Ziploc baggies of 50rnds yesterday and selling them for $15. That's like .30rnd. I just might cash in and retire.

Sure. Why not it’s only money

Missed opportunity. Poll option.

a listing $1.30/rd 5.56.

Is that to much?

I wouldn't pay that for silver tip in today's market however... that price must be before 1999.
