That gets me to wondering, why are people buying so much ammo? Are they preparing for the "End of the world" and if so, wouldnt they want Better ammo, not the cheap stuff? blind fear and greed lead to stupidityPocketGroove wrote:I'm just always on the look out for cheap 9mm or .45 rounds, because having a ready supply makes it easy to go practice whenever I want. I've noticed that whenever I hit up the Grapevine Bass Pro Shop range or the FW Cabella's, they are usually pretty low or out of the plinking cheap FMJ stuff, but some expensive HPs are sometimes laying around. Actually, now that I think about it the Cabella's north of Fort Worth usually does have a nice stock of the cheap stuff, and with a 2 box limit it seems to stick around a little longer.

You just gotta decide if you want to pay their ridiculous prices.
I'm not shelling out extra bucks because these "Free Market" Guru's scammed the local Wal Marts,Academy's, Cabellas, ect by sending out mutiple family members and hijacking the Stockers before they could put it on the shelves. Overall the extra cash they put in their pockets hurts gun owners everywhere, less ammo=less shooters=less people who go shooting= less support for our "life Style"

Re: Ammo Shortage Over????
walked away with 2x100 Round Winchester White Boxes full of .40 S&W FMJ and they had about 10-12 left on the shelves int he Academy in Cedar Park. Wal-Mart was able to pick up acouple of boxes of .40 Federal FMJ. Even got my hands on some .38 Monarch for cheap
