If you're going to stockpile more ammo, you'd better get in line according to this report I heard on NPR recently.
Gun Shop Owner Links Ammo Shortage To Obama : NPR
Bah, the commodities run-up increased the cost of the components (brass, lead, etc.) and/or the finished product before Obama was a presidential twinkle in anyone's eye. Not that the 'scare' or whatever reason is helping anything. Three-four years ago I thought it was crazy to spend over $6/box for pheasant shells. Now I'm lucky to find 'em for $16/box.
Government's been shreddin' .223 brass lately, too, I've read. A varmint hunter's nightmare. Serial killers with Bushmasters don't apply value calculations or cost/benefit analysis to ammo purchases.
