Jacked up times we're living at the moment, in nanny ways. But from prior experience if you need it, better get it because I doubt that things will get better/normal any time soon.
My father convinced me to pay $550.00 for 1k rounds of 5.56 when this whole charade started to unfold, I refused to out of principal and I'm not in a situation where I would be scavenging for rounds (learned my lesson from the "other" ammo run back in 08) but he convinced me and look at things now... I also picked up powder at a high price because what good is it to have thousands of primers, bullets and brass but no powder?
if you need it better get it...
