"Rest assured we made a lot more hunting ammo in 2020 that we have in the 99-year history of our company". So much for the theory that the government has restricted ammunition (thinking about the wingnut on the comments to the D.L. Garner post).

Thank you, KF, for posting this.

Federal primers that used to sell for $40 per 1000 are going for $219 for 500.

CCI primers that used to sell for $40 per 1000 are going for $250 for 500.

High bid with 10 minutes left last night was $792 on 8 lbs of H4350 powder that used to sell for $200 to $220.


Winter is here; and it’s likely going to be a very, very long one.

And remember, they are obligated to fill the government's ammo order first! Do not think you are going to get yours before them!

6:55...why wouldn't they fulfil orders from their biggest customer first? That's called good business, not a conspiracy.

Glad I bought tens of thousands of rounds of 9mm and 5.56 for my ammo fort during the salad days of 2017-2019. Paid 15c a round for 9mm and selling for $1 a round to the unprepared. Ah capitalism.

When Biden outlaws AR style rifles & requires a background check on anyone buying ammo, than you'll really see the price of a 9mm round go for $ 5.00 & you'll be happy to buy it @ that price. Just saying.

This was damage control from the snarky video he did in Dec.

The primer shortage was going on before Covid and the political climate last year. What are they doing to address that? He has no answers. This is something they should have been addressing long ago.

I did my research and decided that it wad cheaper to buy spare gun barrels and then just shoot lacquer sealed Barnaul steel cased ammo. So I did that and no regrets.

I expect sooner or later the hoarders will have bought all they can afford/store and the market will return to normal. The same thing happened after President Obama was elected to his first term.

Plenty of military surplus ammo available. I don't guess any of these people have ever heard of the civilian Marksman program. They got 38 357 5.56 .380 .308 22 rimfire and a block mower

Total BS just like the chicken sandwich shortage at Popeyes.

This happens every time the democrats take office and people start hoarding guns and ammo. If you are fool enough to spend a dollar a round for practice then go for it. For me, I will wait till this fake crisis resolves itself.

Gas and diesel are the same way. Tell me why diesel is up almost .30 a gallon after the election. The answer, because they can!

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) does NOT sell ammo.

@1:44 Then you better tell them fast, because someone is using their website to sell it!

The NRA promotes the sale of guns and ammunition and with the help of neo-con partisan conspiracies they have been quite successful. BTW, the 22 rim fire long rifle cartridge seems to be the fastest selling caliber largely because it's used in Mattel-16 pop guns which are all trendy at firing ranges. What a joke. But then there are the pink pimp pistols of course.

@3:47
I have never seen a more obvious non-gun owner post than yours. Therefore I believe it is bait. I give you a 3 out of 10 since you did elicit this reply from me.

By the way, .22 rim fire is a squirrel killing round. Not the same baby killing round they used in ‘Nam.

And the cool guys at the range are shooting .300 Blackout with a legally purchased “silencer” can like a Blacks Ops operator.

You read about a lot of info on the internet that's not true. But internet Resellers are a fact. About a year ago, there was an article where a group were using automated "Bot"s to scour the web & making purchases based on whatever parameters a member put in.

The article said this was being used in the Ammo market & had initially showed up prior in the "Collectible Toy" Resale Market, totally changing the dynamics of that market.

In 2013, there was 1 application that tracked Real Time inventory at WalMart. Knew 1 person with flexible work hours & friends. As soon as inventory showed, he was gone with 3-4 people & even he was sometimes too late because employees were tipping friends/relatives in the resell sideline.

For a while, Brickseek was on top, with just 1 Fourm having Page 1 sfart in Sept 2017. Latest PAGE 667 on Jan 24, 2021. But unless you subscribe to their premium service, you lag behind others.

@8:15
You are spot on.

Bots are being used in every market effected by supply chain disruptions. The same shortages afflicting ammo, are slo affecting semiconductors.

Right now it is extremely difficult to buy an AMD CPU or Nvidia GPU at retail price due to scalpers using bots to buy up any retail stock. Those scalpers then turn around and mark up the product and resell it since buyers are left without other options. Combine that with the demand from crypto mining, which use GPUs for calculating.

literally the only way to break the acalper cycle is to stop being so desperate that you are willing to pay scalper prices. The scalpers can’t tolerate sitting on unsold stock. They want to move it fast. They don’t want to be left holding the bag.

I feel sure you own more guns than me 7:30. But if squirrel hunters would leave those 22cal faux 16s at home and use a bolt action single shot they would take more squirrels and waste less ammunition. Anyone who looks at the ammunition shortage situation can recognize that it results from men masturbating at firing ranges to prove their manhood.

Good grief 9:03am, it must be a living hell to be you.

I love to shoot at my land, because for about 6 generations now, fathers and sons (of which I am both) of my family have spent endless hours bonding and enjoying the fruits of our ancestors' and our labor walking the land and shooting as we please. My generation started including our daughters as well.

You are typical of your ilk though. Since you don't understand it, you try to trash it with disgusting innuendo. I'm thinking you must be the one with bizarre masturbation rituals to even dream that up and connect the two. The gun is a symbol of freedom and choice. It has nothing to do with manhood. You are a sick puppy with a penis obsession obviously.

The .22 shortage has absolutely nothing to do with shooting either. It's a function of the amount of money the bullet manufactures can make with their machinery.

And let's not forgot how this all really started. It wasn't when BO was elected. The run on ammo started when he had agencies like the IRS and Post Office purchase millions upon millions of rounds and totally distort the market....on purpose.

There seems to be plenty of primers in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, etc. Not sure exactly why those countries need primers, since gun ownership is severely limited, but just figure out how to get them imported to the US.

Get a GRIP 2:13. And your Hoppes oil probably suits you regardless which barrel your working on.

I've heard for the past 5 years that like it or not elections have results. Did you miss that?

A few years ago there was some debate among Wall St banks re eliminating credit card purchases of firearms and ammunition. It seemed that wives were complaining that their husbands were maxing out all their plastic at gun stores and leaving nothing to be spent on themselves and the kids. E Warren may be able to get some traction on that issue now.

Dang 428pm, you just keep on digging. Please quit expounding on your fantasies of men masturbating.

And of course....5 years? You fucking liberals are something else with your short term memory loss, otherwise known as blatant lies. Apparently you missed it. That was said in 2009 by Obama to GOP leaders. The he smirked and said, "I won." This bullshit and deep division always begins with the leftists. Hurl bombs and then point fingers is their way of life. Hell, it is in their literal playbook. Read up on cultural marxism and then think about what you have witnessed with your own eyes for the past 30 years, accelerating greatly since Obama, who of course is now in his third term of presidency.
