First, I went to Bass Pro Shops where ammunition was FLYING off the shelves, it was like sticking my hand in a buzz-saw to grab what I needed (2 boxes of Federal Vital-Shok 30.06/Sierra GameKing's, 1 box of .17 Remington/Hornady HP's). Approximately 25 people standing at the counter purchasing handguns, normally 3-4 people at the most buying handguns. Not one minority in sight in that store. Next stop, the local ammo shop by the cop shop for a box of pistol ammo (Bass Pro was OUT). Same scenario, 12 people in a little shop buying handguns when normally there might be one other person in there at the same time as me.

Both places said it had been like that since Obummer had allegedly been "elected". A Bass Pro salesjerk said they restock ammo every day and the shelves are bare by the end of the day.

P.S. I'm getting a $10 rebate for my Federal Ammo:

Why are you buying boxes of ammo? You should be buying crates for every gun that you own. This is what I did years ago. I bought (initially) 500 rounds for each of my pistols and revolvers. A thousand rounds (initially) for each of my rifles. Another 500 rounds ( initially) for each of my shotguns. As of today, I now own a thousand rounds for each handgun and shotgun. For my rifles, I have more than 2,000 rounds for each. Within the coming year, I expect to add by a third to each of the categories above.

If you're going to prepare, then be serious about it.

I have more than 2,000 rounds for each.

I used to think that more was better, but I have since changed my tune.

If I get into a fight and need more than 100 rounds, it's a safe bet I'm going to come out of it dead.

However, if I need less than 100, then chances are there will be ammo to capture from the corpses of the enemy. :)

I keep about 500 for each of my non essential rifles, and about 1500 of .223 on hand. I hand load for my .308, and just keep 60 rounds on hand, with bullets, powder and primers to make about 500 more.

I also have about 2000 55 gr .223 bullets with powder and primers to load them all.

The value in having lots of gear is to be able to supply family, friends, neighbors who were not so forward thinking, or preparing.

If anything happens here, I don't expect it to be a long, drawn-out affair.

I've got two large surplus Wehrmacht ammo crates. They're real nice and sturdy w/fancy hinges and a moisture-resistant interior.
