Will prices for common ammo calibers used for military purposes go up?  

 

Looks like Israel may allow their citizens to get guns.

So - 2 big things - Lake City stopped civilian ammo sales due to the unrest, and Hornady just had a freak accident explosion/fire.

when did lc stop selling to civilians? does that mean that they stopped selling to police too? 'cause after all, police are still civilians too.

We have seen AR & Tavor sales go up considerably this past week. And people are starting to stock up on ammo again.

It is a cycle.

I was checking TUSA earlier this week randomly and noticed their selection of 5.56 was much more limited than it has been. Plenty of .223, though. Could be a coincidence, could be related to the recent big sale they had, or could be because of current events. We shall see.

I'm seeing ammo shortage warnings on every Instagram page. I just bought a bunch of .22lr to hold me over. Gunna be a long year or 2.

I took everyone advice since I got into the hobby, bought a bigger safe than I thought I needed, and have been loading up on all my rifle and pistol calibers, ready to weather a new shortage.
