Not to mention the guy's that try to get rich marking them up to sell to those that need them. When ammo first started to get scarce, all the gun shows were loaded with bungholes that cleaned out the basement of any thing with gunpowder in it, and tried to sell at insanely high prices.
Doesn't anyone buying and selling anything not mark it up? Do you think grocery stores are selling at a loss? What about trap dealers going to conventions? Are they the devil too? If you don't like the price of something, don't buy it. I am not sure the ammo shortage was ever as bad as some of you think. There was ammo, maybe not where some were looking. The guy that started this post was saying he can't find slugs. I can.
some people just don't like capitalism. Basically when there is a limited supply and high demand profits are made. I stay well supplied I watch for deals and when find them stack it deep. I don't even need to own the caliber. I Invest my time and substantial up from amount of capital. I'm never low on ammo and I'm never crying about needing it either.
If I'm going to sell it I'm going to make a large profit. Those that would get mad are just mad I had the foresight to find deals and spend my money on it when thay had other things they did with their time and money. They want what I have but being lazy by nature and unprepared feel entitled to what I have at the price I paid I think not.
New flash for those that don't watch. ammo is in stock on one sale now in a lot of places and will likely be the next few years. So drop the cash and buy enough for the next 10 to 20 years and never be scrambling for ammo again. Or next time it's not available dot cry and complain you have been warned.
To be honest I have no idea what my round count per cal is. But I do know I have ammo bought 20 years ago 50% off the 1.99$ price tag on the 223 that's on it. Now that ammo is $15 a box. It goes up in value, can feed and protect you so why not keep plenty?
Make sure you have very solid floors in you ammo storage areas. You don't want your floors sagging due to weight or so I hear.
