Ammo - Bullets - Powder - Primers Availability ???

[Dan In Indiana]

Remember when Uncle Sugar was dumping ammo and milsurp brass, powder, bullets were plentiful and really inexpensive in comparison to todays prices? I gritted my teeth and bought all I could afford, when I could afford it. Still have 6 jugs of CMR-100 [Canadian equivalent of 4895] that I have yet to open, 1 jug of 4895 waiting, 6 jugs of 2230C waiting, 8K of CCI#34 that I got from Wideners for 75 bucks/5K waiting, 4K of the old M72 bullets waiting, 2K of the M2 bullets waiting, 3K of once fired '06 brass and, 1K of LC68 Match brass [never fired] worked up, primed and waiting in the wings. Hoarding? Ain't no way! Started over 3 years ago when I started seeing posts about the "shortage" looming on the horizon. Just watching the market, and being a tight "azz" buying when the time was right. Saw last night where a brick of FGMM LR primers went for $230.00 on Gunbroker. I can go out and plink for a long time now and not have to worry about running out. I did forget the 4K of Win. LR primers that I keep in reserve for my civilian rifles.
