Amen to that - gun shows in FL same deal, ~$1/round for fmj 55gr .223. That's some expensive plinking! The bad part is the transfer of the panic to other cartridges - even supplying the ample appetite of my Speed Six and Glock 36 has become outlandish.

Out here in California, we have two main ammo laws pending.
One will require an ammo buying permit, a $50.00 extortion fee, a background check every time you purchase ammo, no more Internet ammo sales and you are reported to local law enforcement every time you purchase more than a as of yet TBD amount (probably 500 rounds?)
The second law proposes a .05 per round tax on all ammo, which would effectively double the cost of .22LR and would boost up the cost of any other ammo significantly.
In this state, we have a 2/3 Democratic Supermajority, meaning that these ridiculous bills will probably be signed into law.
My goal is to acquire my lifetime supply of ammo within the next six months so these idiotic exercises in futility and harassment don't affect me.

I sure feel bad for you guys in California. Our problem in Kansas is a bit different. I went to Cabela's in KC yesterday and found the shelves picked clean of most reloading supplies. Asked them when they anticipated getting more stuff in they said that they get new stuff in 2-3 times a week ,but it sells by noon the same day!! WOW! I'm going to stock up when I get the chance, but not sure when that will be. Good luck everyone. Tom
