Time to stock up on .223 Ammo?

[jamesjames]

Why are prices going down and supplies going up right now? Hmmmm.... could be we are pulling out of Iraq and look to be winding down Afaghanistan in a year. Complain about the president if it makes you feel better, but maybe its just supply and demand.

Agreed, the Prez didn't cause a spike in ammo or gun prices, shooters did through paranoia.

handloading is the answer, you can handload .223 for 17-25 CENTS per round (exclusive of brass). Stock up on .223 brass, primers, powder. Soon the Obamarxists will be out of office and the panic will have passed.

 

[HGUNHNTR]

Again, the panic has passed for now. The current administration has done less than any president in recent history to erode our rights.

No matter the situation ...

YOU CAN'T GO WRONG IN BUYING 1,000 TO 2,000 RDS OF YOUR MOST-USED AMMO. every month. Don't wait for it to turn "Too late." Caps intent.

For many of us, the question is how frequently certain quantities of ammo will be shipped from Russia and Serbia.
It seems strange that Russian Tula .308 is now about .25/rd. at AIMsurplus (150 grain). Might be gone blitzschnell.

My .303 comes from Prvi (Serbia) and can be reloaded at least six times.

Many people feel that the housing "bust" has not yet reached its bottom. Banks now sell limited numbers of foreclosed homes, so that the prices don't fall even more.

When supply for some calibers seems to be steady, the main question seems to be how much the demand will change.

Even if minerals go up a bit, would the manufacturers want to/be able to produce more ammo?
If commodities cause price increases and demand goes down, are they making the same profits?

I have been buying 1000rds Federal XM193 at $300.00 delivered for some time. Not a great deal from years ago but a decent deal in todays market
