Ammo sales up due to virus?

I have a pretty good stock of steel case commie made .223, I should sell it and double my $$.

I went through Rural King Saturday morning, .223 was gone, bulk .22 was stocked, 5.56 was stocked (and pricey), 9mm cheep stuff was gone, and all buckshot was gone.

Pretty much the same around here -- only thing left are the hunting calibers (although 30-30 is also bare), and some odd handgun calibers

Been doing some surfing on ammo sites and the price (if you can find it) of steel cased 55gr. FMJ .223 Rem. is now totally in LaLa-Land. Sites are asking between $300.00 and $600.00 for a bulk case of 1000rds. --- summer of 2018 I was buying it at $129-$139 regularly without coupons or discounts.

....AND as expected, the biggest gouger of all is the Cheaper Than Dirt company; which is now selling a pack of 20 TulAmmo 55gr FMJ .223 Rem. cartridges for $19.89. -- that's $994.50 for 1000rds. Gouging at its finest.

 The local big box sport store was running low yesterday. They did have some Federal 5.56 $65 for 200. Not too bad. They have a three box limit. I picked up a box of 243 also. My shooting bud has a reload setup for 556 and he’s running about 200 a day. Enough to keep us shooting regular anyway.

Amazing video -- this is a gun shop in Las Vegas

My LGS has a good inventory of hunting calibers -- 243 seems to be the most plentiful, with 25-06, 22-250 and 257 Roberts also in great shape. 30-06 is almost gone. Probably because it's one of the most popular hunting rounds, but also because a lot of older military rifles were chambered for it. Reloading supplies are non-existent.

Thanks for posting that video GF. It is a little late to try and get prepared with essential food and defense.

Stopped by the local Academy sports store this afternoon and picked up a can of powder and a case of primers. I've got about 500 rounds of .38 that need loading. need to get some time in with my EDC. Freshen up some.
