Thread: Ammo Shortage

1. yes, there is an ammo shortage. there are 2 reasons:
a. there is a war on. it's been impossible to find 5.56mm stuff for years now
b. people are lemmings and buy into hysteria
2. there is no point in vacuum sealing ammunition. i have shot 50 year old milsurplus stuff that had been in a soggy warehouse since the Korean war and it worked just fine. if the crimp is that sloppy that you need to vacuum seal it, you shouldn't use it anyway.

in an interesting aside, i make my own ammo, and it's been getting hard to find bulk gunpowder anymore. gun shows are still your best bet for powder and primers, but do NOT buy reloaded ammunition from a gun show.
