    Nothing new- not dissimilar to what happened post Sandy Hook.

    It’s interesting how 9mm FMJ vanished quickly, but you can still find Duty/HD rounds.

    You would think it would be the opposite of that, yeah. Probably it's due to a bunch of new people panic buying guns and not knowing what the correct choice is in terms of defensive use ammo. They might also be trying to minimize the "extra" expenses that go on top of their unexpected new purchase.

    If you dont have all you need to ride out a dry spell, you haven't been paying attention. Happens every few years

    How is this a surprise? You have lines outside of gunshops in CA. You got the more paranoid fringe thinking this is TEOTWAWKI or that it's a hoax/excuse for the Federal Gov to declare martial law and confiscate your weapons.

    Of course people are going to be being ammo in greater quantities.

    Then have the folks whining "It's not fair. I want to panic buy, but some guys beat me to it and now the prices are high! "

    This "gouging" serves a purpose. If you really need ammo, it's available. If you just decided now is a time to increase your supply and are shocked the prices are higher, then you will not purchase and leave ammo available for those that think they need it more." If prices had stayed at their levels of 2 weeks ago, there would be none available right now.

    As stated above, happens regularly. Another reason to reload for your practice ammo.

    I am looking at the safe at what I really do not need and may sell.
