I am.......just bought another 2k rounds of 7.62x39. I think this stuff is going to get costly and scarce before it is all over.

I believe you could apply this to all forms of ammunition.

Commies know how to make guns and ammo.
Thats great....just encourage more hoarding, only this time for a caliber that can still be had with relative ease!
Are you familiar with true Keynesian economics? What Mercury is doing is Keynesian economic policy on a small scale. By buying when there is a 'surplus' in the form of low prices, he will help stabilize prices down the road when the prices increase. In the meantime he's sacrificing liquidity for a tangible asset that will gain value and allowing the ammo seller to reinvest in more ammo and put food on his table. Everybody wins. Good on you Mercury!
If more people had hoarded beforehand .22 before the shortage prices wouldn't have shot up like they did because there would be a greater supply which would drive down prices. That's kind of how our government interprets Keynesian economics, spend during a shortage but don't bother to save during a surplus. What could go wrong? [:)]
I paid 24.5 cents per round for the Wolf I just bought. Including shipping.
