I'm sure someone would trade 380 for 22 LR or 17 HMR.

I'd do that, except I don't have any 380 ammo; my only 380 I've ever shot is an old 'AMT Backup' that I never use.

That stuff is gold.

I just found another 100, so that's 200 FMJ and about 40 SDs. I don't like shooting that LCP for fun....SumBitch hurts....

I'm starting to move to my new Sig 365 SAS as the EDC, and the LCP will go to the back of the bus.

Got Ammo???

But it's NOT just ammo anymore...

My twin just told me even 9mm DIES in his area have jumped in price by 3X or 4X....

Glad I got what I need (for awhile); and I'll use a bunch of 22s and blackpowder (from those few that were "salvaged from the boat just before it sank") to tide me over until I can replenish any inventory I won't dare touch off for awhile.

This is all amazing to me...don't think anyone here has an answer as I don't even see anything coming out of the factories.....I know I'm wrong on that but when dies and moulds are hard to get something is up. We all here are pretty much "in the know" and the only thing I can think of is the distributors are hoarding it or selling it overseas at the governments order.

I don't get out anymore so who knows.......mileage total on my Jeep in 2020...600....my wife's Jeep...maybe 1,000.

Six,

The CEO of Federal, CCI, Speer etc just came out with a video. He says that they're making ammo. More in 2020 than ever before. And they're still making primers, but the primers only leave the factory contained in loaded ammo. That's why there are no primers in the pipeline and why primers are going for more than $400 a thousand these days in some places.

Between the fake pandemic, 49 out of 50 governors becoming tyrants (or just letting their true colors show), roughly seven million new gun owners, and the election the firearms industry didn't stand a chance.

Presses are two, three times what they were, some dies (9mm, .223) are five times. Want to buy ads are starting to out-number want to sell in some forums.

What you got is pretty much what you're gonna have for the next at least six years. Aren't we glad we have a stock-up mentality? :) By pure luck, I made my first bulk purchase of primer/powder just before the Great Primer Shortage of '92. I learned from that, for sure.

I have the Diana RWS 48 side lever. I put a decent red dot on it. It really kicks butt and is accurate with the cheap Crosman hollow point 14.3
Also, and perhaps more impressive is a Diana LP 8 Magnum handgun. A 177 that can move standard weight Crosman hollow points at a little less than 600 fps.

All I really do is plink, but either one would take small game if needed.

Blaine, you're not supposed to tell people about the availability of airgun pellets, man! Keep it a secret! Glad you are enjoying your big Diana/RWS 48. I am shooting a little Xisico B-25 these days. It shoots way better than I can.

Yes, the RWS 48 is a really great gun. Its the only springer that I recommend to anyone wanting to get started with airguns. Very accurate, very powerful (but very heavy). Although actually there are a couple german beeman/weihrauch models that would be awesome as well.

I have an RWS 48 with a scope on it.

Fun to shoot and powerful enough for woodchucks at close ranges.

Mine likes RWS pointed pellets of Beeman CrowMagnums.
