It's starting already. Anyone who shoots knows how hard it is to buy ammunition or reloading supplies right now. Government treats and actual actions taken by government like in NY have driven people to a buying frenzy. While some stuff is becoming available on the internet again, if you're like me and live in NY, you no longer have that option. Saturday I had to take a ride into Pennsylvania to feel like I lived in a free country again and pick up some ammmunition and powder. Yesterday I stopped at Gander Mountain in NY to get some casing lube and a few other things. As I'm walking into the store I pass a guy loading as few crates of .556 into his car from another guys trunk. you can't find that anywhere. I look and the guy has a few more cases in his trunk as well as a few .308 I said did you just get that here? Surprised because they have been out of stock for months. He said no, do you need some? So what this enterprising individual is doing is filling the void. it was 11:30 and he was on his 3rd run of the day. He comes in with a trunk load of ammo from out of state. Sells it in the parking lot in about 20 minutes and heads back for another load. For what he's selling it for he's probably making about 50 cents a bullet profit. or roughly $10,000 a trunk load profit.
