I think it has already started considering our choices this election. Romney..not exactly super gun guy and the gun hating lib we have now.

Buckle up and start stocking up on ammo now.

I cant wait, ammo shortages, ammo rationing like in the 70's. I got the system figured out. Low serial numbers get no bullets on tuesday, mid numbers get no bullets on tuesday. that's as far as I got. Seriously, even lead weights are bring regulated out of existence.

Probably when the gas and food prices start to climb again.
I would also stock up on reloading components as well before their priced the same or if not higher than the ammo itself.

no sh*t...

I've seen some weird pricing going on with a couple of items "higher priced here, lower priced there" for the same product...

I honestly think the people with the higher priced items are just taking advantage of throwing the election thing as a scape goat...


... but I could be wrong...

I think it started 2 months ago.

Crazy in my opinion but gives folks a good reason to gouge people and rip them off...aaah the American way

Yeah its definitely started already. Just look around at the prices on guns, much less the ammo. Things are only going uphill from here.
PS. Romney only makes me want to vomit slightly less than Oblowme.

ironically i just bought a case of yugo 8mm and it was the cheapest ive seen in in about 4 years lol maybe because so many people have the mindset "i want to only stock up on NATO calibers"

It's very simple, people (read "we") start buying ammo like there's no tomorrow = the prices are going up...

I agree.
Especially for those if us that actually shoot on a regular basis. Look I'm not trying to knock the storage people who buy just to sit and look at the box. But it's hard to have that "storage" mindset when you start seeing prices 10% bump then 20% then 35%....I start to say to myself man, do I really need to shoot as often as I do....then I start to question, as I going to become the "watchers" of the community where I only buy/sell/trade guns and ammo just cause it's something to do because I either don't want to shoot a new gun or the ammo is too expensive....ramblings of a dumbass I know forgive me

Hard to find bulk ammo in stock right now. Panic is on but not in full swing. Come September it will get crazy.

Not sure if it helps anyone but Big R is having 10% off firearms this weekend. When I was researching a Glock a while back they were almost the cheapest I could find. With the low tax in conifer I think it was only about $15 difference.

I've seen prices here from some who agreed that paying more than X amount for a lower, was ripping people off.
I Don't care if you accessorized the fuk out of your gun it's still not worth $1500.. Like looking at a truck ,owner X installed high end stereo, flashy RIMZZ and tires only needed for 6' of snow, book is still $1200 for a 96.
