Oh I'm not hoarding now. I ordered 1000 rounds online and have been using that for the past month. It's just frustrating when people say "It's your own fault that you didn't prepare." That argument is invalid in cases like mine, I feel.

The hell is this horse ****?

Some dude talking quickly in an annoying monotone voice isn't good music, hell I don't even consider it music. And synthesizers on top of it. Please crawl under a rock.

I'm 30 years old, I'd take Allman Bros, BB King, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Cash, AC/CD, Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Music...

Then his electric keyboard extra features...

And 4. Please don’t reload… because I hate seeing primer and powder shortages lol. It’s a lot harder than it looks and takes too much time… trust me, it’s not worth it. Just keep going to Walmart every day in hopes for more ammo. It will pay off.
+1 OP I get what your saying but the reality is this is still a free country and people can buy/do what they want.

Chances are you will never need more than a magazine to protect yourself, but you never know.

This is exactly what I was trying to convey. People who already have a lot of ammo need not purchase more....

For all of you that sold ammo at high prices and bought new toys or have been "hoarding" all the ammo, I hate you.





(Because I didn't have the foresight to do the same.)

Define "a lot". A lot for what? Shooting this weekend? Or investing? Or protecting the motherland???

Some folks are not panic buying. They are looking at the fed and know prices will never be much if any lower. "Buy low" isn't easy to see until time goes by.

You my friend are in a hole. Stop digging.

If you consider purchasing bullets as an investment, your priorities are all wrong. Equity and bonds may not be doing well right now however, there are alternative assets negatively correlated with the current equity and bond market. For example, alternative assets such as real assets are back on the rise. Instead of hedging your portfolio with ammo please look into alternative assets. Growth will be more prevalent and stable.

A smart investor diversifies. Seems kinda smart to include ammo (which could be considered a commodity) if you're looking for ways to expand your portfolio.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I am indirectly talking about diversification when i say negative correlation.

Lets all stop buying everything and let the market settle back down.
ammo is not like money, that needs to be circulated to keep the economy going...circulating ammo, gets finkleseen, all excited.

The ironic thing is that I bet the biggest hoarders are the smallest actual shooters. I can't picture them at the range. I picture them in their garages and bedrooms fondling their ammo and telling themselves how "smart" they were to "stock-up."

I can reload and I have plenty of supplies. I cannot reload .22LR however and although I have plenty for most circumstances, I'll run out in a few months because I shoot over 1K rounds/month.

I use to hit the range 2-3 a week. Shot for 2-3 hours and only left when my back started to tighten up. Haven't been to the range for nearly 3 months. Just sitting on the remaining ammo from the last calgun reload group buy.

If you're motivated enough to hit the stores at opening or endlessly refreshing your computer's refresh button to buy online, than MORE POWER TO YOU. There's no hard feelings here . Because of work and family, I'm just sitting this one out until ammo is more available.

You are saying that someone is wrong to look at ammo as an asset, and that there are other investments inversely proportional to bonds, etc.

The fact of the matter is that you are wrong (about ammo). Ammo can (and is) be utilized as an investment, and has paid off for quite a few people.

Just because you choose to put your money into other investments does not mean it's the right move for everybody else.

Those that claim to have "prepared" in one sentence are also patting themselves on the back when they cleaned-out Wal*mart the day before...

It's the people stacking thousands of rounds in a damp closet and never using it that puzzle me. Maybe they plan to load up their pickup truck with all 800 pounds of it if the SHTF and hope it still fires...
LOL!!

Bingo!!

I'll ask you again, do you not know what you are saying?

That's not too far off from saying "you don't need that assault style AR, you don't need more than 10 rounds in a CLIP, you don't need a gun to protect yourself at all!"

It's no one's frakking business how someone decides to spend their money OR defend themselves. I think buying tons 'o 'ammo is foolish but that's MY opinion, MY choice. If someone wants to buy crates of 'ammo who is anyone to say whether they should or shouldn't? I'm sorry, is this England, Mexico, or some other country where free will and the right to defend one's self is illegal or otherwise unconscionable?

Geez I just wish I could afford to stock up on ammo lol. I'm only 22 with a part time job, so I can't just go out and buy 3k rounds all at once. The most i have ever purchased was a 1k rounds of 5.56, and that's when it was less than 300 bucks shipped. I wouldn't say I'm angry over the people that are buying so much, but more jealous than anything. So right now I'll just shoot my handguns, since I reload for them. Even reloading supplies are a PITA to find. This sucks lol

Killer Bee, hook a brotha up man!! lol

Lets all stop buying everything and let the market settle back down.
Title of the post is "STOP HOARDING AMMO"

Really?

So the 5k rounds of x39 I bought 10 years ago at $99 per k, I should turn around and sell them off now at $99 per k?

Oh, the 2k 7.62x51 that I snapped up 5 years ago at a good price, I should all let those go at what I paid for them? Just because there are "poor starving shooters in Indiana" that don't have enough to shoot?

Oh, oh... the 3k of 5.56 I snagged 3-4 years ago and the 10k of reloading components I grabbed when I spotted a good deal over the last 5-7 years... I should just sell them off for bargain basement prices because you think I don't "need" them?

Take a tip, bub. What is "hoarding" to one person is prudent stocking up when it's on sale to another.

If you're talking about panic buyers who waited to the last minute, then the thread title should be "STOP PANIC BUYING".

I deduct one point from your man-card for not stocking up on all you needed prior to the current crisis. And another for casting aspersions on those of us who did.\

Also this
Quote:
ammo is still being produced in the same numbers as it has historically
So now it comes out. In the middle of the biggest buying spree in history outside of an active invasion, the ammo industry is keeping production capped at historical norms rather than ramping up and expanding. A policy designed and intended to drive prices through the stratosphere. Despite what we are being told by the CEO's, your inside source reveals the real truth... there is no expansion, there is no ramp-up... only PROFITS-UP.

Yep. Figures. Woulda put money on it. No surprise there.

Now tell me I'm supposed to cry for the ammo companies or the guys who bought one box and shot one box. FOR YEARS. When they could have bought 3 boxes and shot one instead. Nope. Not crying here.

BTW: I GIVE substantial amounts of ammo away for training and practice to folks I know who really do need it. I'm not selfish. But I don't take stupidity and naivete for excuses either.

Really?

So the 5k rounds of x39 I bought 10 years ago at $99 per k, I should turn around and sell them off now at $99 per k?

Oh, the 2k 7.62x51 that I snapped up 5 years ago at a good price, I should all let those go at what I paid for them? Just because there are "poor starving shooters in Indiana" that don't have enough to shoot?

Oh, oh... the 3k of 5.56 I snagged 3-4 years ago and the 10k of reloading components I grabbed when I spotted a good deal over the last 5-7 years... I should just sell them off for bargain basement prices because you think I don't "need" them?
Yes, yes, and yes.


You were offering, right?

LOL... Thanks Killer Bee..

In all honesty, I'm one of those people that got caught in the price hikes without any decent stash. But, it was my lack of foresight that got me in this predicament. It sucks that I can't go shooting a couple times a week like I used to, but it is what it is. It's times like this where I think it's important for the folks in my position keep a stiff upper lip, learn to plan ahead, and maintain a positive outlook for the gun community as a whole.

Just because I can't shoot right now does not mean I cannot participate in other gun related activities.
