STOP HOARDING AMMO!!
Hey Everyone,
Just spoke to one of my friends which of whom works for a reputable ammo manufacturer. Basically, ammo is still being produced in the same numbers as it has historically, however, hoarders are the reason to blame for this "Shortage". People need to refrain from purchasing such large amounts of ammo and storing it as if they are going to go to war. Those people which of whom are hoarding are throwing off and fabricating a shortage that should not exist. Prices are at an all time high and hoarders are promoting this behavior by buying all the ammo they can possibly get their hands on. This is just a public service announcement to let people know who is really causing this so called shortage. Also, AWB has fallen out of senate and put on the back burner by the democrats. So, no more scare of an AWB for now. Lets all stop buying everything and let the market settle back down. |

You should have stocked up sooner. Stop complaining about it and deal with it. Johnny Come Lately's are going to pay the high cost, or do without. You are asking others to stop hoarding so you can..

Honestly, I purchase ammo directly from the manufacturer. I get wholesale prices regardless of the environment. I just wanted to help regular joes out and point out a flaw in the current ammo market. Ammo should not be this expensive! Retail stores are making a great margin on all they sell. Turnover is unbelievable right now. Also, many of you might know this but certain stores are participating in this so called "Shortage" and only releasing ammo little by little. Its a mind game guy, the less you see on the shelves the more you will be inclined to buy at high prices.

Fortunately I hoard when prices are low. IMO, that's the logical thing to do. Also IMO, anyone hoarding at current prices are plain stupid - but anyone that was logical (and hoarded at low prices) aren't affected anyway. So really the current condition is a way to teach the ignorant to be more logical next time. |

I agree. Stop hoarding I cannot even find ammo to shoot. My weekly range trips are down to monthly range trips.

With all due respect. Didn't you just do that? OP wrote "don't hoard", you wrote "don't tell".

Again, im not saying this to discourage anyone. Im just saying that if everyone nationwide takes a break on ammo purchase for a month to let supply catch up ammo can be hoarded at much lower prices. You have to let the market catch back up. The more inventory a store has sitting on its shelves the lower the prices will be.

If I had to guess, the madness won't really end until 2015. That's when you should stock up for the next shortage of 2017.

hahah. sorry you didn't prepare. Personally I still only buy ammo if its a good price, but I like to see people waste their money on overpriced stuff, that way when prices come down they won't have money to buy it and I can.

The current problem is not hoarding. That was happening before this Sandy Hook panic. You could not hoard if you wanted to right now. Not only is it almost impossible to find ammo but even when you do there are limits on how many boxes you can buy. The so called "hoarders" are the smart ones that are still shooting regularly with their pre-panic priced ammo. |

That being said there's another factor at work on all of this; in non-liberal states the ammo situation is improving. There's still limits on how much one can buy but thing ARE easing up. To compare, the situation in California and other gun control strongholds will only deteriorate with time. The antis have made it clear ammunition is one of their targets , and folks logically will buy every bullet they can get before Big Government shuts down the party with fees and permit denials. Ammo in California by this time next year will be cheap and plentiful; because only the brave and the elite will be legally permitted to buy any.

At our local Wal-Mart it's a feeding frenzy everytime they get ANY ammo in. There's a three box limit no matter what you buy. When the doors open, all the same chowderheads run for the sporting goods section, buying whatever they can get their hands on. I just stand back and smile because I "horded" my ammo long before the current shortage. Like some others I have enough stock to ride out the current "shortage"

Buy it cheap, stack it deep. You have no one but yourself to blame for not having a healthy supply on hand. On the other hand, if it's an SHTF situation and you need a forklift to move your cache, you're doing it wrong.
