whats up with ammo availability/prices?

[Mausberg]

i bought a box of golden saber 124 and 147 grain a couple months back for about 20 dollars each, now they are almost 40 dollars each and your lucky if you find any in stock. same with all the other good ammos, there no where to be found, online that is and the gun stores around here charge even higher rates for what little selection they do have and im in a heavily populated area

6 box limit per caliber at my local Wal-Mart and the shelves are empty of handgun ammo every time I go there...Prices are not at "gouge" levels.

oh geez...not this SOS again.....here's the deal - place an order, wait for your supplier to get the stuff in and then they will ship it to you. It's too late to think about reloading - all of those supplies are in as much a limbo as ammo.......shoulda, woulda, coulda..........

This should have been posted in the "ammo prices" section

For the right price, Ammo is available. Some just do not feel the right price is what others are currently asking.

Unless they were the ones selling; just like guns - everyone whines when they can't buy a new gun for 1970's prices, but they also whine when they can't sell some piece of junk for new gun prices. These are also the same folks who constantly complain about "price gouging" in a free market supply and demand environment.........

Here's a clue folks - if you don't like the prices currently in vogue - you have choices.....Buy it at the current prices and learn to live with it; NOT buy it and do without; start your own company and turn out the product for less; reload and make your own for yourself; take up golf......

There's also the option of doing any of the above and whining about it.

Just because I support the free market doesn't mean I have to like the prices, and there's a long ways between "1970s prices" and the prices we were paying ONE YEAR ago.
