[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 2095900, member: 28741"] Yes I've reduced the amount I shoot due to cold weather and not knowing how long this nonsense will last. Weather is about to bring it all shooting to a halt because I shoot for free outdoors the range is about to be under 8'-10' of snow. Current prices are just silly. People are being silly when they pay $1/round of 9mm and $3-$/round of Hdy Match 6.5CM if they are not wealthy and these sums of money mean anything to them. 9mm- last I bought was .23/round in April. Now .80-$1. 1K rounds, gee I think I can find something else fun to do with that extra $570 - $800. People's willingness to pay these prices is evident in auctions that start at a low price set by the seller, and users bid up to those levels, therefore not the vendors' faults. So it is within our power to keep the prices at normal levels. Just quit or reduce shooting dramatically for a few months. Ammo production will continue full steam ahead, and the drop in demand will cause prices to fall. Shelves will populate, more stocking up will happen then, and after everyone's gotten their needs filled shelves will populate again. New 1st time gun owners don't shoot that much anyway, and are not the ones buying $1k of 9mm. Also people paying high prices now will simply run out of money in their shooting budget. LMAO, $700+shipping for 200 rounds of 6.5CM Suddenly people paying 3x - 5x normal will feel really foolish if these amounts mean anything to them. (Wealthy people probably don't care.) [/QUOTE]
