ammo price speculation

I was in my local CT today and saw the ammo shelves. I guess the new stock of CCI Mini mags are not an indicator of anything. There is very little available in calibres like 308 and 30-30. Even shotgun shelves looking sparse. I think the hunters have stocked up so they are supplied for a couple of years at least.

33 bullet moulds and 2000 lbs of lead. There's a shortage somewhere?
I'm having fun reloading for my new to me 300 win mag. 180 gr speer bullets standing on a pile of US869 grouping under and inch. Haven't even tried the H1000, RL25 and others yet! This is a hunting rifle. Still have 6 more 180 grain bullets to try. LIG

Yep. I dont know how many molds I have....LOTS, thats for sure. Theres still a couple thousand pounds of lead in the garage and plenty of powder and primers. Prepare prepare prepare. Watch for sales and buy LOTS.

Just an update from NB. CT stores still have thin stock, don't seem to be getting new stock. BassPro rifle ammo almost nil. I bought the last 2-boxes of .308 Sako 150g SP Hammerhead (last of ANY brand of .308) to take advantage of the $20 rebate, as well as 8-bxs of .223 55g SP Gamehead which was well stocked - about 20 boxes of 50 & 55g still on the shelf. A bit of other cals like 6.5 & 7mm but not much. Shotgun still OK but handgun and .22 both with thin stock. Deer/Bear season thinned out the larger cals, but no re-supply yet.
