Ammo prices have sky rocketed due to the election and demand. That is it, no questions asked.
I ordered ammo last weekend, a decent amount (bulk packages) and Wideners is out of stock of all most of what I ordered, posted a delay warning on their site, and the other stuff is up by $40.
Ammoman once again this month is no longer accepting orders.
Wal-Mart is stocked throughout the week, and then nearly none, and then re-stocked... wal-mart fluctuates and it's normal.
I stock up on ammo like I stock up on anything else... to use, to save $ in the future due to rising cost, and just to have on hand like anything else.
I can and do shoot off my rear deck, and ammo goes a lot quicker being able to shoot out of your back door.
