Wow! I haven't bought ammo in a few years (yeah i know, but I don't get out to shoot much anymore) and those prices are crazy! I don't think I could afford to buy ammo now if I wanted to. I've got an old Enfield in .303 and it's showing $2 a freakin round for .303 now and that's for plain old crappy factory ammo! WTH!?!? Used to be you only ever paid that kind of money per round for the exotic stuff back when I bought ammo.

The last time I bought the last of my ammo was seven years ago.... better to early than to late.......

And.....

Why would you want so much ammo for?.... are you and the guy be sitting on lawn chairs at the two miles mark be taking turns shoting at each other?

Simply shoot the other guy and take all his equipment before he does it to you... and please don't say "But he won't have the ammo that I need"....... at WTSHTF mark who the hell care about being choosy about what kind of weapon you have, be happy to have a weapon at all.........besides, a beisball bat can get you a firearm.

You would be far better served with individual reloading components, and learning how to do it.

Get some good brass, and keep recycling your preferred recipes through it.

Improved accuracy alone makes it worthwhile.

i looked at a farm supply store today.

not exactly a huge selection.

147 grain 9 mm Luger, box of 50 for $16.


i was surprised, i'm used to ammo's "New Prices" being closer to a $1 a bullet.

so all you guys with big bullet stashes are sitting pretty.

IMO the tension is going to remain for a while until 'something' changes/happens (i.e. the other shoe drops). One thing is for certain - 'they' clearly don't want us having ammo to go with our guns. I'm expecting it to remain bad and get worse. Note how the gungrabbers are completely silent regarding online bulk ammo sales, and directly after the Aurora incident it was one of their main talking points - they are not mentioning the ammo situation at this time to prevent generating even more pushback at their gungrab agenda, but it's CLEARLY integral to their plans, to think otherwise would be a huge mistake.

I strongly concur

Ammo is even MORE important than guns for the simple fact with ammo you can make a "Gun" with a Hammer and Pliers

I think a digital data base for ammo purchases is coming
And you will only be able to by ammo for guns that you own no "straw buyer" for ammo
Everything associated with guns purchases will be held in digital format to be reviewd from some yet to be named new Federal Department

If it weren't so cold I'd consider it. Heat you can generally survive (without energy input); cold (of the type in Wyoming) can very easily kill you (if you don't have sufficient energy on tap to ward it off).

Do you think any of this can be attributed to Free State Wyoming? Or is it the long term residents that are driving this?

Do you think any of this can be attributed to Free State Wyoming? Or is it the long term residents that are driving this?
Excuse me for butting in:

I met up with some of them (Free State Wyoming) this October and it's mainly a handful of retired people in Newcastle and neighboring towns (Upton, Sundance, and so forth) in Weston and Crook counties. From what I saw (as an outsider) Wyoming has a lot of out of state people from everywhere, many are there for the energy related jobs. Most people I meant were generally liberty minded. The actual Free State Wyoming people I met were extremely knowledgeable, and GSUS material for the most part, even on the J00 question, though they won't talk about it openly like we do.

A lot of the Free State Wyoming people didn't seem politically active, they just wanted to keep to themselves, but they wanted other people like them out there with them.

Just know if you move there you won't have access to a decent Internet connection, and a lot of their produce is old/second hand (from what I saw.) The "gardens" I saw were meager, and it looked impossible to do without a decent greenhouse. In other words you'll trade off many of the big city conveniences we are spoiled with for more rural life, but most of the state is a desolate wasteland. All the nice places in Wyoming which are more habitable are ultra-expensive to live from what I saw. More expensive than where I'm at now in California in other words. I'd love to live where JD is (I'm kicking myself for not visiting him,) but I dunno if I could afford a place like that.

I'd still consider moving out there, but only if I had a roommate, and a better Internet connection. I wouldn't want to live out there alone.

Thanks Shami, but I really don't mind being rural. In fact, I'd like to be more rural than I am (and I'm pretty rural now).

I've always wanted to be somewhere in the WY/MT/ID area, but I have roots where I am. I'm the 5th generation to farm the same land and I have 2 sons that I hope will be the 6th. It's hard to leave a heritage like that, but if political events force it, I may have to look for a place with more freedom. I'm especially interested in the idea of a state standing up to overreaching federal laws. Taken one family at a time, they can easily defeat us, while painting each resister as a nut, but an entire state standing up to them would be a force (both military and public opinion) to be reckoned with.

In your search for a new location, have you been checking real estate prices? I'd be interested in knowing what a fairly large piece of Wyoming rangeland would be worth. I see a lot of adds trying to sell 40 acres for pretty high prices. I'm not interested in that. I'd be looking for 160-640+ acres and not in the tourist/celebrity areas.

SGAmmo has 500 rd cases - 40 cal 180 grain Bonded Hollow point Winchester Q4369 ammo for 199.90 for a single case or 197.90 for 2 or more cases.

This comes to 0.3998 a round or .3958 a round before shipping if you buy 2 or more cases.

Shipping will depend on the options you choose and your location, I got 2 cases shipped to upstate NY for .4178 cents a round(22.00 shipping). Best deal on a quality 40 cal hollow point round I have seen in the current market.

5 day delay for shipping due to high volume of orders.

there's lots of ar ammo here, but it's all hunting rounds. $20 a box or so.

7.62x39 all high priced stuff, but you can get it.

all hunting calibers widely available, no price gouging.

lots of shotgun shells in every caliber.

tons of handgun ammo, anything you want, regular prices.

interesting, .22 is flying off shelves. i suspect it's because it's cheap, so people feel like they can at least buy a large amount "of something."

i'm buying 9,900 rounds of .22LR on friday (18 boxes of the 550 packs); the guy at true value already has it set aside for me in the back. today i did 10 boxes of .357 and 5 boxes of 9mm. if i get paid more than i am expecting on friday, i am also adding a large amount of .270 win.

Back on topic

"Presently, 17 states regulate private firearm sales at gun shows. Seven states require background checks on all gun sales at gun shows (California, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Oregon, New York, Illinois and Colorado). Four states (Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) require background checks on all handgun, but not long gun, purchasers at gun shows. Six states require individuals to obtain a permit to purchase handguns that involves a background check (Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Iowa, Nebraska). Certain counties in Florida require background checks on all private sales of handguns at gun shows. The remaining 33 states do not restrict private, intrastate sales of firearms at gun shows in any manner." - yet.

In the meantime, enjoy the freedom. Yeeeeeha !


the one thing that bugs me about buying a gun from a private party is, there's no way to verify its functionality, unless you are highly experienced and can tell just by looking.

do they ever have "shooting booths" at firearms shows, like they use in some forensics labs ? (or maybe i've just been watching too much NCIS TV :) )

Depends on the type of gun. Simpler guns like a revolver you can pretty much tell. You can pop the cylinder out and check that the rifling is good. You can cycle it dry and make sure the cylinder moves with each trigger pull or cocking of the hammer it is easy to check for cracks and signs of abuse. You can usually check the firing pin by pulling the hammer back and squeezing the trigger with your finger where the primer would be sitting.

Wally world was all out of .22LR, but Fred Meyer basically across the street still had lots. Of course it's all a buck or two higher priced than Wallys, but still available. So anyways, in this area it would appear that "cheap" .22LR is gone, but still .22LR available.

If you're seeing .223/5.56 for 30 cents a round, you should be buying all you can get your hands on and reselling it on gunbroker.com right now. Everything is near a dollar a round.

dang that sounds like a plan......

the guy at my walmart told me that .22LR has been backordered for 2 months. bullshit, something is up.

Was at one of the better local gun shops today here in Canada.

So far there are no ammo shortages here. 9mm American eagle. $150 for 500 which is about par. Cabela's is even cheaper.

Only thing that is starting to dry up are AR-15's and similar variants. Because of the demand in the states our shops are saying new inventory is going to be delayed.

I haven't seen any bricks of .22 lr ammo at Wal-mart for quite awhile. I stopped by a farm supply store today that had six bricks for $27 each. I figured what the hell and went ahead and bought them. I've been itching to shoot my 10/22's with the Ruger bx 25 round magazines.

I've found 7.62x39 for that price here in California? Should I buy all I can get? I already got some.

They're not commanding the kind of money .223/5.56 are. Depends what happens in the next few weeks...if you do, I'm sure you won't lose on them. Dealers around me are still getting them and they are selling them for $7.99 for a box of 20.

I'd buy all of these at around .30 if I saw them.

At a sporting goods chain in So Cal today.

Rem Golden Saber 9mm 25rds- $32.99 (limit 5 boxes of ammo per customer, store policy due to demand.) Girlfriend picked up Rem UMC 9mm 50rds- $18.99.

I asked about .223 and the lady said only three boxes showed up in their shipment. I bet they never made it to the shelf.

Now let you ask a question:

Do you REALLY think this chap is going to give up his Rifle(s) this stuff shoots because they pass some new laws??
