Ammo shortage?

[hworth18]

This has been all over Youtube lately, anyone panic buying?
I wouldn't say that I'm panic buying, but I picked up another 1k rounds of 9mm today and about 800 rounds of .556 a few months ago. I shoot a LOT and I don't want to hit my stash too hard if I don't need to. I probably won't buy any more.

Not panic buying for me, more like keeping the larder full.

I counted mine, i have a lot on hand. 37 rounds.

No panic buying in my area.

Plenty of ammo & no price gouging from what I've seen the last month & there's no reason for a panic.

We ignore the YouTubers & their useful idiots who just want to generate "clicks" so they can make some $$.

Buy ammo year round on sales.
Have a number of rounds in your mind that you need to use regulary to get you thru 4-6 months. Always have that number on hand. Budget and buy on the good sales. Replenish when next sale hits.

Never worry about panic buyers or sudden issues like this week.

If you rarely shoot, then why worry about a blip of ammo shortage.
If you shoot all the time, you should have a plan for supply on the budget you shoot.

Panic buying on ammo is for those that dont shoot

Hi,

No emergencies here either. Prices have gone up a little but supplies seem stable and plentiful. I'll usually buy cases when there's free shipping specials. Some vendors have free shipping when you spend over a certain amount. I haven't checked any brick and mortar prices recently.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Its supply shortage on powder, brass, etc and tariff related
Nothing to do with Iran or war

From what I've seen, we're slingin' more missiles, drones and large caliber rounds on them. I have yet to see anybody slingin' .45, 9mm, 10mm, 5.56 etc on them yet. Until we send the Fudd brigade, I see no reason to panic.

SG Ammo comes to mind. Time for me to unsubscribe their emails.
