There are just as many gouging in the classified as there are at the gun show.
You are correct, Sir. But the supply chain is starting to catch up, while buyers are reaching saturation. I stopped by my local Walmart (in a town of 7500 people) at 7:15 on the way to work this morning and they had around 50 bulk packs of (325) Federal 40gr .22lr and about 30 bulk packs of (100) Federal 55gr .223.
They had LOTS of .243/.270/.30-30,.30-06,7.62x39 Tula,7mm mag and 300 mag. They had some 9mm, 380,40 and 45 too. No .357 mag or Sig. This is waaaaaaaaay different than a few weeks ago.
If folks would STOP buying from the scalpers, prices will stabilize quickly.
My wife and I bought:
300 rds of Federal .223 55gr for 35 cents per round
975 rds of Federal .22lr for 4.5 cents per round
Ammo is being produced and it's out there.
