The Coming Ammunition Price Crash

Government purchases of Ammunition and Panic Buying has taken all of the ammunition out of the supply chain.  .22 LR is now selling for nearly 5 times what it used to sell for.  Some ammunition manufacturers have gone into 24 hour production cycles to fill some of the need.

If you are buying ammunition at these jacked up prices you are throwing your money away.  When the supply chain catches up to demand, and it will, there will be an oversupply of ammunition.  You will be able to buy ammunition at prices lower than what you could before the panic buying began.

Don't waste your money and lets all work together to pop the ammunition price balloon.

Long term food storage is still inexpensive.  It will not be for long, now is the time to buy long term food storage.  At 25 years shelf life, this is a great investment of your money; money that will lose significant value in the coming years.
