Well friends, Romans and countrymen, the ammo shortage started today. ‘Sure am glad I like the .40. Have a nice day.
Is this a time capsule post from 2012?

Not sure what you are talking about here.

Brass cased .223/556 went up from.25 to .29/.30 per round
Anyone have a link to in stock at .25/round delivered?
The going price on factory new brass .223/5.56 was never 25 cents per round. At least not in recent memory, certainly not a month ago. You could get pretty close with the Federal American Eagle rebate for the second half of 2017 though.

That said, you can get IMI M193 (great 5.56 ammo) for .24/round delivered with the long-running sale at Midway

Not exactly correct. We in CA cannot buy ammo on the internet/online and have it shipped to our home
You in CA had YEARS worth of great buying opportunity post-2013 banic to get a little bit of ammo socked away, and surely you knew these kinds of laws were coming. As recently as a few months ago you could have ordered Federal American Eagle with either 5% or 5 cents per round discount (factory rebate) delivered to your door.

but we can buy it online and have it shipped to an FFL and pick up there.
I have not used it yet, since I stocked up in December, but I found one close by that will charge,
$25 <1k rounds and $50 >1k rounds up to a reasonable amount TBD. I'm sure they'll do 5k .22lr but maybe complain about 5k rounds of other calibers that have a large footprint in their storage area. They also told me that it should be picked up next day after delivery.
So they will charge, for <1k rounds of ammo, the same transfer fee I pay for a gun? And double that for over a case? Yikes that suuuuuucks for you guys.


Sounds like a business opportunity for a person to set themselves up as a tabletop FFL and specialize in $5-$10 ammo transfers using their garage if you ask me. Probably have to turn half of that around to tip the delivery folks though lol

There are many people who don't care about guns or ammo
Some of them even post on Glock Talk, apparently.

But Kali goes way...way...beyond just guns and ammo.

I hope that you are wrong about that. Ammunition rationing would do nothing to stop any of these mass shooters
The libs don't care about what will stop the psycho mass shooters lol they juts want to take your guns plain and simple.

I couldn't tell you how many people I have argued or debated with this past week that have used Parkland as an excuse to say we need really strict mandatory training to carry or to own a gun.

Logic, they use zero.

The reason is most have already stocked up to a level they feel is adequate and no real threat to our guns or ammo can be seen at present. BUT there is always that proverbial SHTF situation that could jump up and bite us on the behind when least expected. Therefore I continue to buy.
That plus there was surely still a significant slack in the supply chain/pipeline after hill ary lost
