I can’t load a brick of 22 in an hour, lol.

Speed loaders or pre load multiple mags lol. Theirs a speed loser for the 10/22 it actually works really well. Beats loading round after round by hand for sure lol

It doesn’t. I have the G17 Gen 4 blowback Umarex pistol. It doesn’t fit in any holsters.

Oh well, scratch that.

Picked up a TX 22 today at Academy. I was shocked to see it in stock. Now I can save all my other precious metals and shoot .22 for days without worry lol. Also got some .45acp Winchester 230gr and some .22lr Winchester Super X. Surprisingly they had all this in store at around 1pm when I went to buy the TX 22

1,000 rounds of 9mm fmj for $1,099. Seems like a pretty good deal I might just place an order.

Man that hurt my wallet just joking about it lol. I wonder how many people actually purchased that specific order. I stumbled across a video on YouTube a few weeks back of a woman who was a new gun owner. She did an unboxing video of the 500 rounds of 9mm fmj and 100 rounds of jhp and her total for that order was right under $700. Almost every other comment was from people sending her links for cheaper ammo and telling her how she got ripped off. I felt bad for the lady because she obviously didn’t know any better and was so happy to receive her order. Crazy times man. I’ll get a slingshot before I start paying $1 a round

No need to camp out at 4am. I stop by at 8:55am. On the days my local academy gets trucks I just go in to the office later than usual and run in and out. Theirs always a line and I’m usually one of the last people walking up but with the 3 box limits and now some academy’s are doing 3 boxes total regardless of caliber theirs usually enough to go around. At 1pm or actually closer to 2pm when I actually checked out they still had a good bit of pistol calibers, 5.56, and .22lr left over

I have been shooting firearms for more than 60 years and the ammunition prices and supply have never been anywhere near this bad.

Prices have been this bad before, but not the supply.

These prices are similar to what they were in 2007-2008 when Obama was running/elected.

I saw DPMS Oracles for $1500 and 223/556 was up to $0.80/rd

There was a good supply, but prices were high. Gun shows were overflowing. The only reason you don’t see packed shows now is because of COVID-19. It’s also why you see online retailers have been cleaned out.

I have never seen FMJ or JHP handgun ammunition as high as it is today.

Same 20 years in the industry, and I have never seen prices on Ammo this way. AR's yes, ammo, no. Never been as hard to get as it is now. Every manufacturer I speak with sings the same song. PRIMERS, they are all bidding for primers, which is driving cost of manufacture up incredibly high.

What manufacturers are "bidding for primers?" I know Federal/CCI/Speer make their own and Sig started to do the same. I would imagine there are some manufacturers that source primers, but I would also be inclined to believe it's the smaller manufacturers.

I feel like my dad when he would say, *I remember when I could go to the movies and buy a drink and popcorn for a nickel and get change back*.
