I don't buy roses on Mother's Day or Valentine's Day because they jack up the prices, and I will do my best to avoid buying ammo during this latest fiasco.
I was the Stonewall Range in Cleveland OH yesterday talking to a range employee and he seems to think the ammo suppliers are holding out a little to starve us then in about a month they are going to ship the orders at a much higher price. Myself I have no idea but it makes sense.
Shoot at Stonewall often, the last time being Friday and, IMO, they are a bit of a shooting mill. The range is usually filled all day every day this time of year.
Ammo has been historically expensive and in short supply there. The statement may have been a little self-serving.
I prefer to get my ammo at the Fin, Blazer Brass 9mm $11.99 for a box of 50 all day. Love it. WalMart in Wooster when they have it are Federal's for $12.99. Just both Fin's, Ashland and Canton are a bit of a drive for me.
