Interesting that Bass Pro is able to sell for $0.26/rd. Either means that they have a large stock from pre-Covid/election scramble or that other retailers including online retailers may be stretching the truth that they are only marking up based on their cost. (Maybe Bass Pro is still getting large order discounts, but we may never know.).

Bass Pro never has anything in stock despite what they say.
Edit: missed the part about them hiding it.
Bass pro is for sure getting large order discounts. If I understand it correctly, not only do they get that but also the big stores get an allotment of ammo that typically gets filled before the distributors that smaller local stores use.Quote:

WANNA START A POOL ON WHAT AMMO PRICES LEVEL OFF AT? WE WOULD HAVE TO DO TWO OPTIONS ON THAT (1) IF TRUMP IS REELECTED, OR (2) IF SHOTGUN JOE INSTITUTES THE DEAD HAND OF COMMUNISM.
FOR THAT MATTER, THEY'VE GOT THEIR EXCUSE NOW WITH RIGS AND REFINERIES SHUT DOWN FOR LAURA & MARCO, SO WHERE WILL GASOLINE PRICES LEVEL OFF IN A FEW WEEKS?
(YES, I'M YELLING!)
Calm down WS, you gonna stroke out on us.

Real question is: At what price would anyone on here start selling off their own stash?Quote:

I’m guilty, I’ve sold some ballistic tip hunting type 223 for a dollar a round in 500 round sealed cases. I’ve got some federal green tip 223 in 420 round ammo cans That I’ll sell for a dollar a round . My fear is that I may regret sellIng it at any price the way things are going. If biden gets elected there might not be any to buy period.
Yeah, I’ve already given some friends some, even though I could’ve said it’s their fault for not being prepared. I’d rather that they have sufficient supply to protect their family if SHTF.Quote:

Then there is that one guy who gets ammo from you then sells it to someone else, at a big markup. They don't get any from me after that. (they are not here anymore.)
That's pretty crummy ...Quote:

If any of that bothers you, don't sell to me.
From a member here on another forum:
The real-world reality is if one is acquiring ammo for the SHTF scenario or for self-defense concerns, all you really need is a basic combat load of about 210 rounds. If you survive an encounter, you acquire the spoils of war.
Now on the other hard if your acquisition plans is for continued "shooting" for training and fun, thinking ammo will somehow never again be available, then that's another thing.
So in reality, anyone who has a few hundred rounds shouldn't feel tempted to pay the stupid prices being paid right now. It only sells if some fool buys.
Honestly, I have more 5.56mm than I will ever shoot. If something happens that I REALLY need it, no matter how big or bad I think I might be, in reality a couple magazines worth of survival is realistic. You're not going to face hoards of zombies coming for your blood.
The premise of "I need to acquire a few thousand rounds in case shit gets bad" is simply flawed IMO. Just my thoughts.
That member is also expecting a Trump victory. Biden changes things.
While I think Trump Victory would be better overall, I do not think that Trump would be all that great for gun rights. He would definitely be better than 'Shotgun' Joe Biden and the next President Kamela 'gonna take your guns' Harris (once he kicks off or gets 'found incompetent' early February 2021.) The real problem is that a lot of Republicans have taken up the attitude of 'Anthony Kennedy' where he pulls crap just to get into the history book. Look at Romney.Quote:

I also look at ammo as any other tangible investment, it's value will constantly fluctuate based on supply and demand, world events as well as local ones (ammo is worth more than gold in some big cities right now) so having a large supply will let you capitalize those events with running you short for your operational requirements.
Buy low sell high
I've got maybe 1000 rounds of 62grn 5.56 that I would sell. I have plenty of parts to make 5.56, and prefer 55gr for most of my guns anyway (and 7.62 AK is my goto HD/SD).Quote:

That reminds me of Jafar when someone asked him about stocking up on 5.56. He said he didn’t because there would be plenty to take on an urban battlefield.Quote:

He probably got that number from what used to be a basic combat load of ammo for a rifleman. I agree that it sounds low. A guy I follow said he went through 15 mags in a firefight in najaf back when it was hot.
Yep, when I was in, we got our 7 mags issued to us, 6 in the LBE and one in the M16Quote:

If I give you something because you're down on your luck and say you need it then you turn around and sell it and make money...Fuck You.
Somebody quote this so I can like it again.Quote:
