Getting pretty tired of this ammo shortage shit. I just got some new guns around the time shit kicked off. Bought several varieties of factory ammo to experiment with. Now that i know what the guns like, nothing is to be had. Even less popular calibers. Mainly i want some 300gr .450 bushmaster federal ammo. Cant find it. Wtf are people doing hoarding .450 bushmaster? Come on now, for fucks sake. The only thing i can find a good supply of is .460 s&w but i already have tons of that.
I'm sure the shortage is intentional, just like everything else.
Yep. We even have the top brass of ammo conglomerates telling us that the solution is to just wait until prices decrease due to lack of demand.
The ammo companies have literally told us to stop buying their product. What real businessman would ever do that?
We have backlogs that will take ~5 years to clear
We refuse to expand production because we don't want to lose money when demand drops
The US ammo companies are holding both of these positions simultaneously. How can this be?
Thats weird because they were all talking about expanding during the shortages when Obama was elected.
Well i shouldnt complain. I have a shit ton of ammo for most of my guns. Really im good to go for many years. But i have a couple guns that im not well supplied for and it irritates me. Luckily theyre not guns i really need, just new toys that id like to spend more target time with and take out hunting a little. I have enough of the .450bm that im taking it bear hunting this season just for shits and giggles. Want to kill a bear with an ar15, just for something different. Still it would be nice to have a few more boxes of the 300gr to smack steel and paper with before the season starts.
We have a decent shooting range on our property and can't really use it as much as we would like due to difficulty restocking. I have actually considered getting a really nice sling shot and ball bearings, but practice with the clay balls, just to keep practicing.
I think they're just making less, due to a years long backlog of the common calibers.
One thing to try is go on Midway and Natchez, find your ammo and do the "notify when in stock" thing. Just be ready to rip that credit card when you get the email. But don't be surprised if the price jumped from the last in stock.
Ar 15 and a bear? You are just gonna piss it off.
You need at least an ak with a 762.
Bring back swords!
Lol
Meh, the CEO of an ammo company did an interview a while back saying they'd increased production by ~30% and they still can't keep up. They can't ramp up production fast enough. Seems reasonable. Everyone I know that wasn't a gun person got red pilled by BLM.
30% was pathetic. Everyone in the USA knew since 2016 that ammo would be in high demand in 2020. By January 2020, everyone knew that ammo would be in sky-high demand due to the scamdemic.
Yet somehow the ammo manufacturers did not know? o_0
All the primers are going toward the more popular ammo types at the factories. My local store does still have 50 bmg in stock though. Seems like a sign to me.
